a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Oh, okay. I'll bite.

The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution.

The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

Once again, abolition isn't nearly enough. We need criminal prosecutions for everyone involved in this shit

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

To say nothing of the fact that these are the same people who think that YMCA is just about young men having a good time at the gym and that Born in the USA is a patriotic anthem

Especially funny since the right wing alternative was a song with the incredibly profound lyrics: "Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy, said the boogie, said up drop the boogie"

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None.
Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law?
Zachary: Correct.
Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

One of my academia-related takeaways from the Epstein business is that a lot of people who are chasing money aren’t doing it to facilitate more and better research, they’re chasing money so they can avoid doing more work and enter powerful circles to be celebrated for what they’ve already done.

Beware of β€˜anti-woke’ liberals: they attacked the left and helped Trump win | Jan-Werner MΓΌller So-called β€˜reactionary centrist’ pundits proclaimed that there was a global β€˜vibe shift’ in favor of the right. They were wrong

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
