The lesson is that populism is bullshit. It appeals to anti-intellectual resentments and fantasized markers of individual authenticity. Genuine working-class politics are exhibited in collective struggle and personal sacrifice for the cause.

US Communists demanded racial equality, in FDR’s time and now. So no, not remotely the same.

I taught my kid to live a secret life of curiosity and beauty while moving through her education, and the world, pretending to be an idiot like the people who design tests. So far she fits in and has been rewarded with good grades and opportunities.

Here and elsewhere “neurotypical” means having a default focus on what the questioner expects in response, even if what they expect in response is boring, obvious, or flat-out wrong.

There is no excuse for soldiers or sailors participating in the war on Iran. They have the option to do the right thing and refuse. The personal consequences imposed by the US military for refusal can’t be as bad as the moral consequences of participating in a mass murder.

Black women in aggregate vote close to how the whole electorate would vote if not for racism and sexism. I’ve had a lot of fun parsing objections to that thesis.

White people are wholly ill-equipped to oppose, much less halt and reverse all the horrors we’re witnessing daily. To be clear, they have the power to stop this but lack the ability to think and act collectively, like all other race’s of people can.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Whiteness is nothing except having a belief in your own innate superiority and having that belief validated by others who regard themselves as innately superior. That’s why Irish, Italians, and Jews have been sometimes white and sometimes not white.

Whether it’s Donald Trump turning American cities into occupied police states or Joe Biden fixing our nation’s crumbling infrastructure and trains, people on both sides of the aisle feel like they don’t recognize their own country when the other party is in power.

What Biden wouldn’t do is to exercise unconstitutional abuse of executive power. I’m not sure if that is a fault in our side, or something to be celebrated when Trump does it.

Non-budgetary initiatives, like reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act, failed because Manchin and Sinema wouldn’t bust the filibuster. Neither is now a Democrat.

To understand what is going on, you really need to break down Trump’s support by race. As in: He’s supported by a solid majority of white people and opposed by an overwhelming majority of Black people.

And keep in mind that U.S. oil companies' assets in Venezuela were nationalized by a centrist pro-U.S. government in the 1970s and, via international arbitration, Venezuela paid them billions of dollars in compensation.
