The right wing crash out over asian students celebrating at a UT football game reveals that all along the true goal of reactionary colorblindness was never “meritocracy” but resegregation. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Color-blind meritocracy was, for many years, a successful rhetorical strategy for undermining antidiscrimination law and excluding Black people from selective schools and prominent positions. That’s why so many former segregationists seemed to suddenly embrace the concept in the 1970s. For them, resegregation—not color-blindness—was always the goal. As long as the success of some immigrants could be used to paint Black students as undeserving, color-blind meritocracy was good. But now many on the right see a new problem: too many Asian Americans in elite spaces. Their success, therefore, must be portrayed as a sinister theft of real (white) Americans’ birthright.

The declining “social trust” that the administration warned against is, of course, not the fault of these students. The problem is bigots like Bo French who cannot accept into their community people who do not share their race and religion, and those who monetize or otherwise profit from that bigotry by spreading it through social media. Like the proverbial child who kills their parents and asks for mercy as an orphan, they are responsible for the problem they are decrying.

As usual, he says it so clearly: "The Afrikaner policy... proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you're poor, you're a moocher, and if you're gainfully employed, you're taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian."

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

FBI whistleblower says White House pushed unconstitutional probe of protesters

The former analyst says supervisors were told not to put things in writing, so many of the directives came in face-to-face meetings.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Not that this is news to anyone, but I watched this debate and well...let's just say that the GOP will likely tell candidates to not debate Dems like they did in 2021 & this debate will likely be why. If they haven't outright done so already considering how Paxton is ducking Talarico.

Every Dem running should be staring into the camera and taunting Trump to campaign against them directly. Decent chance his ego makes him do it, decent chance pushing himself too much makes It happen at the rally and even if it doesn't you get a lovely polling bump.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.

From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."
