i simply cannot imagine the level of delusion and sheer ignorance it takes to believe that the rise of Republican Nazis is some outside imposition and not something that has come from within the American right.

the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.

The claim ”Santa does not exist” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that he might just be really good at covering his tracks.

The worst part of weekly releases on streaming apps isn’t waiting for the next ep. It’s that they don’t tell you what day new eps drop in the show description.

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

This piece amplifies the politicized language of the critics of “cancel culture.” What kinds of courses should focus on cultivating “perspectives different from their own”? Engineering? Math? Biology? Should students in business, the country’s most popular major, be exposed to Marxist perspectives?

A small group of students tires to cancel an outspoken critic of cancel culture, who says that American education has been woefully deficient when it comes to exposing young people to perspectives different from their own.

I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the

threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state

See this? It's called a non-inferiority trial. It compares the new vaccine with the current vaccines to see if the new vaccine does better. This new vaccine did. Placebo-controlled trials are not needed to test most new vaccines. Demanding them will only reduce vaccine access. Which is the point.

Quote from CBA article describing the varied groups that came together.

The rally in downtown Chicago drew a diverse crowd representing numerous interests.

"You can see we have Palestinian organizations, Black organizations, workers' organizations, and so much more all together," said Alithia Zamantakis of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

LGBTQ communities, civil liberties groups, and higher education were also all represented. Each of these groups said they turned out because they feel their community is under attack

Quote from U of C professor in CBS article:

"There is growing recognition that what the Trump administration is trying to do is isolate us from each other. 'Immigrants are the problem. Trans people are the problem. College professors are the problem. The Palestine movement is the problem,'" said Gabriel Winant, an assistant, professor of history at the University of Chicago who marched with American Association of University Professors. "And if we let that happen, then they will pick us off one by one."

Ironically, this is Big Pharma's wet dream. Rather than a preventative vaccine that costs a few dollars a dose twice a lifetime, they can sell expensive new in-patent drugs for hundreds a dose that you need to keep taking.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.
