For the antifeminist leftist, the HR Lady symbolizes the empty triumph of managerial liberalism and girlboss feminism, to be vanquished by a pair of sapient Carhartts.

Look up the assassination of Ernst vom Rath to see how an act of political violence can become the pretext for a murderous conflagration by a regime intent on persecution

Has anyone proposed asking the Nobel Prize Committee to give Trump a Peace Prize in exchange for his resignation? Probably the best thing they could do to further the cause of peace right now

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

Here’s a faint silver lining: the levels of ignorance, stupidity, and incompetence on display right now make a strong case for higher education— not just sciences but history, int’l relations, polisci etc etc. Someday we will have to rebuild

Can we maybe stop with the “wine moms” belittling of middle-aged women’s activism as if doing the work of political organizing is something we dreamed up with our gal pals as part of our self-care routines?

An underused lens for understanding what the Trump admin is currently doing is sadism — deriving pleasure from inflicting pain. At this point, it’s the only kind of pleasure some of them are capable of experiencing

Is there even a remote chance that someone actually intentionally included Goldberg in the chat to expose this illegal practice? (The political thriller fan in me wants to say yes.)

I think we underestimate the extent to which Trump’s “policy decisions” are motivated by his desire to see people grovel and beg him for mercy. Psychology of a sadist

I’ve finally decided to cancel my subscription to the WaPo. Hoping that if the paper tanks, Bezos might be willing to sell it to a less craven, solipsistic entity

One thing to do now: start keeping a journal. Your kids/grandkids, future historians need to know not just what happened, but how it felt to live through this catastrophe.

Maybe we should stop using the benign-sounding “populist” to describe current rightwing politicians and their supporters. The German “völkisch,” with its violent, radical historical legacy, seems far more apt

Somewhat disappointed that we seem to have settled on “skeet” as the posting unit on this app when we could have gone with “bleet.” There’s still time to change!
