The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.

The thing about narcissists in power is that everyone around them learns to play to it. Whoever pitched the bill to him led the argument with how this affects the PGA tour and "everyday golfers".

Congress is abdicating its power of the purse in real time. It's the most important Article I power it has, and like the power to declare war, Congress seems willing to let the executive just walk all over it. The framers perhaps never anticipated that it would just voluntarily hand over its powers.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

As a descriptivist, there probably aren't any usage/grammar hills I'd die on (and I'd happily end a sentence with a proposition), but... one of my pet peeves is the usage of "begs the question" to mean "raises the question" instead of "assumes the conclusion" (circular logic).

The accounting problem is that harvested wood products get treated as storage regardless of what happens downstream. Once a protocol credits the removal at harvest, the incentive runs ahead of any verification of permanence. Brazilian forestry would feel this quickly.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)

Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

I've bee thinking about this for over a decade

There’s a grim parallel between America’s food diet and its media diet. We increasingly choose what is cheap, fast, addictive, and engineered to keep us consuming over what is nourishing. Fast food replaced meals; outrage replaced information. Both deliver an immediate dopamine hit while leaving us less healthy, less satisfied, and wanting more. And after decades of consuming junk, we shouldn’t be entirely surprised by the condition of the body—or the body politic.

NYT wanted to write a story about "moderate Dems go to war with DSA," looked around, and the best they could find was a *proposal* by Third Way to spend $15M against left candidates. The story is not evidence that *Democrats* and the left hate each other... it's evidence that the NYT hates both.
