Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Days after the NFL fined him for wearing Hind Rajab’s name, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair returned to the field with another Palestinian child on his eye black: 8-year-old Wafaa Akila. Wafaa was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza on September 6 — her first day of school.

it really does feel as if Democrats en masse are telling trans ppl that they don't want us as part of their coalition. if you disagree with them – if you *want* trans ppl to be a part of the coalition – then please call these trans-exclusionary Dems DIVISIVE because they are DIVIDING OUR COALITION!

"I am pro-trans generally, but anti-trans when it comes to sports and I think the concerns about trans athletes are legitimate, but sometimes they go too far" is not a tenable position. People are getting their news in sound bites on TikTok and third-order pundit "analysis" in the WSJ and NYT.

This thing where normie Dems are like "stop talking about trans stuff," like it's a thought experiment, is so infuriating, bc this is what we're talking about. Real people, real lives, real targeting, real suffering of the sort that Serwer was talking about when he said "the cruelty is the point."

This is precisely the problem, right here: In an information environment dominated by social media and right-wing propaganda, it simply isn't possible for Democrats to carve out a hyper-specific, razor-thin ideological position like this.
What Ever Happened to the Young, Exciting Moderate Democrats?
Mr. Moulton’s bid exposes the dilemma of the center-left in a year when progressives seem to be notching win after win. Moderate Democrats must distinguish themselves from the left without antagonizing the energized Democratic base. They’re struggling to articulate a message of change that isn’t necessarily progressive change. And the 2024 fiasco has made it harder to argue that moderation is the only way to win elections.

The general population supported lockdowns (with unnecessary glurge actually) when it was to protect elderly (who are aesthetically white and not-poor). Only when it turned out that poor and POC were most at risk did we turn against lockdowns.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

It doesn't excuse his actions, but we're talking about the NYT's actions here. Their actions have helped lead to this, and they're not admitting that at all. But getting crushed by the jackboot they helped create is an amusing bit of poetic justice, especially given their lack of contrition.
