the thing that always struck me about greek life was how almost everybody is acting in some level of bad faith: everybody knows it's abt hedonism, privilege, and exclusion. students don't actually believe it's abt brotherhood and nobody they say this to believes that they believe it, either

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Vance also has undeniable, proven ties to white nationalists and not one media outlet will declare him unfit to serve as VP or in 2 years to run as president.

I used to think (like 10 years ago) that there was some line they’d cross where the political press would start talking about their racism as a matter of fact, not opinion. But there was no line. I still can’t believe it.

Yeah. Any discussion about depolarization has to start with the fact that one party had completely abandoned any interest in democratic norms and practices.

Not replying directly because they're apparently addressing a different issue, but one of my pet peeves is the belief that judicial review is a power the Marshall court created ex nihilo with no Constitutional basis. It's not!

the thing about stuff like this is that five biggest changes in american politics have all been partisan projects The Constitution, the Jacksonian Revolution, Reconstruction, the New Deal, and Civil Rights were all explicitly partisan projects.

Wild that he gets this coverage after he packed the Utah Supreme Court in order to try to prevent it from enforcing a referendum-passed gerrymandering ban to steal a congressional seat for the GOP (and disenfranchise his state's largest city)

One party is trying to stop Trump from acting like an absolute monarch who treats the treasury as his personal money and starts wars at a whim, while the other is enabling him every step of the way. "Both parties are the same" say the people who claim they want to stop Trump, but always help him.

Yes. The Founders understood that if a nation lacked virtue it was fucked. Look, no system ever yet designed makes it impossible to prevent the people from electing someone who wants to end democracy. Yes there are ways to slow things down but in the end if the people support

Real lives are being destroyed and snuffed out every day that this policy is allowed to continue and the people who devised it are not in jail. I know we all know this, but I feel like it's important to say it from time to time.

This is not the first time this has happened, of course. The original progressive era was a response to very similar circumstances, and we are living through a new Gilded Age. Radical reforms are needed, corruption must be cut out root and branch, and the law must be enforced without favor.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

South Africa spent a lot more time trying to pretend the bantustans were sovereign than Israel does; the Israeli position is *explicitly* that there is no sovereign Palestinian state, the Territories are under Israeli jurisdiction, but also Israel has no responsibility for the people who live there.

You will notice that at no point in this thread is there any engagement with actual Israeli policy, or the response of various Palestinian national movements, or how international law should be applied, etc, because it's mostly about his discursive enemies, rather than anything real or concrete.
