It’s so weird how when you tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself and fill your nation’s streets with gangs of armed, masked, and unaccountable armed thugs and terrorize people at the border…that people will decide to vacation elsewhere. Who could have guessed?

"More than 100 research grants collectively worth over $250 million have been canceled. Although Congress appropriated $345 million for 2026, much of it has gone unspent, with only $15 million going to grants so far." Gee, where's that money going then? It must be getting spent somewhere...

A lot of Trumpism boils down to the belief that accurately pointing out facts to a man caught up in emotion and false conspiracy theories is a terrible wrong, one that demands retribution.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

The US is the only OECD country w/out paid parental leave. Most other countries guarantee ~a year of parental leave before families enroll their kids in universal childcare. Instead of pitting families against each other, we should demand paid leave AND universal childcare like all our peer nations.

Sometimes I feel like I’m one of the only people processing the death of journalism happening in real time. If a description of what is happening appeared in a dystopian novel it wouldn’t be out of place and everyone would know it was the death of the free press.

Here’s Chris Rufo and his podcast co-host addressing “the Indian question,” a reference to “the Jewish question.” That question was whether Jews could be incorporated into European society, and the Nazis were the ones who claimed to have developed the “final solution” to that “problem.”

It is easy to both overestimate and underestimate Russia at the same time. While its overall potential is far weaker than in 2022, it is an isolated regime fully mobilized for war with little left to lose. That makes it far more dangerous today
