Went back to the Times story about the Trump fans who refuse to believe what he says is that serious and checked the links to see how seriously the Times took it when he said those things www.indignity.net/at-a-leading...
We need to talk more about universities and overcompliance with political pressure
I've been in some really distressing meetings lately that I can't say much about publicly right now, so instead I'll just share some articles about fascism, free speech, and universities. From Jason Stanley in 2018: www.chronicle.com/article/fasc...
Higher education has historically been a bulwark against authoritarianism — or its pawn. What’ll it be this time?
What’s sad about this is that parents who take their kids down this road truly think they’re helping them, and they’re doing them a terrible disservice. The serendipity of discovering what you love and what you’re good at continues through childhood, through young adulthood, and through adulthood.
Maybe a reason Harris is having trouble keeping momentum: the provocative mobilizing things she says about Trump won’t get featured
They systematically rewrite headlines to make the news more obscure!
In 2018, when Trump decided to put tariffs on European steel and aluminum, the EU implemented a countervailing tariff on all playing cards printed in the USA. The biggest card printer in the USA is in Kentucky. The second-biggest, where all Pokémon cards worldwide are printed, is in Durham NC.

Begging people to understand the difference between “Harris could be better on this issue” and “Harris and Trump are the same on this issue.” www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Harris has been virtually silent on trans rights, and her policies would disproportionately benefit well-off trans people.
People really think "bourgeoisie" just means "rich" and that "rich" just means "can afford the basic + some expensive things" "Trans bourgeoisie" is such an stupid thing to say. Most of us can't even get a job, let alone control the means of production.
In light of today's shai news i was reminded of this. The answers were two senators, the speaker of the house, the head of the adl, and of course a columbia professor, but none of those counted for some reason
