Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

But voting should be more like choosing public transport than a soulmate. you choose the one that will get you closest to where you want to go now.

I’m sorry I posted a link to @lolgop.bsky.social’s post and only the text came through!
This is entirely my mistake and I wasn’t trying to steal it

This is indeed a bit of a straw man and the critique is the ongoing coverage of his age, ignoring what he’s done after the debate, AND anything Trump has done - such as calling for military tribunals for his enemies, revelations of his alleged pedophilia, etc

Compact was a joint project of some “anti-woke” socialists and some “anti-woke” nationalists and so it comes as quite a surprise to learn that one of their senior editors has been exposed as a National Socialist.

Just a bit exhausted by people who shitpost right-wing talking points and then complain that people (who don’t want fascism) get annoyed by it

Guys the prequels don’t come after the original trilogy in the world of the fiction. Jabba winds up choked out and his empire destroyed. Todays ends up mentoring a younger generation to victory The analogy is fine

It's unclear to me how Biden could prove his fitness to the NYT and Atlantic editors or whatever. It is pointless to demand Biden prove something when this all turns on the whims and vibes of supposedly centrist commentators who have no sense of threat and mistake contrarianism for truth-to-power.

how we can (in the case of medieval studies) tell a rigorous, honest story about the past that demonstrates - in its practice - solidarity with our colleagues, students, and other publics
i think, for example of this from James Baldwin

That is legit Fox News/ Breitbart bullshit. Several times I’ve seen (and been subject to!) this where a hack emails saying we’re going to press you have 5 minutes because they don’t want to have to print a response

the thing I'll say about Berhalter is that I think his fatal flaw is too strict adherence to a "system" most recently, the US has played best (& scored) under BJ Callaghan when the team allowed the players to run the midfield, to attack, to run at defenders. they looked like they were having fun

Hot take. We're not fucked. The Court is fucked. They've overstepped and will be put in their place. Call your Senators and tell them to support ending the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court by six justices.
