Poorly thought-out foreign quagmires and disasters, economic instability and deprivation, wanton cruelty and violence are all hallmark features of white supremacist societies.

Part of being an adult and having adult relationships is being able to accept that your partner is a different person form you and that you aren't always going to be the only focal point of their attention and that's okay. Getting worried about that seems really immature and insecure.

I wish we could assume that people on the left were universally solid and not bigoted in any direction, but that’s just not true.

And then when you see it- especially from someone on the left, and there is a lot of it right now- go ahead and yell at those people. They’re doing it on purpose.

If we're serious about raising kids who speak up when something is wrong I think we have a lot of work to do to support them when they do and also help them navigate the challenges and big feelings that come with it. Being that kid is risky. How do we support them in that risk?

As you look at the destroyed economy, increasing wars around the globe, decreased public health, and mass deportation, remember that about half of all of the votes that Trump received, were cast by women. Half. It is not true that Trump gets more support from men than women.

"stay at home mom" does not mean tradwife. "Person who cooks or does domestic chores" does not mean tradwife. It's a very specific set of fascist adjacent anti-feminist ideals that complement the fantasy of men's place in MAGA. It is toxic, harms women, and enables abuse of women and others.

"If America ends up an autocracy, Trump will not be its culmination but something closer to its forerunner." And the next one probably won't be such an extraordinarily delusional and incompetent buffoon. Disgrace and disincentives on him and his enablers have to be imposed now, while we still can.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

“Most Americans are pro-immigrant,” Talarico says. “Throughout US history, immigrants have always made us richer and stronger.” Trump's barbarities have opened the way to a new consensus. Talarico is giving voice to it in moral language that Dems can learn from. 5/5 newrepublic.com/article/2160...

The other day, Talarico leaned hard into the case for immigration as a positive good for our country in a way you rarely hear from Dems. He has a real theory of the case: Trump's cruelty and barbarism have opened space for new moral arguments, a new consensus. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...
