Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

In France, private schools are for kids with discipline problems, or for super religious families. So when public schools in France decline, the French get pissed. When US public schools decline, the rich kids leave and there are fewer people to care.

The US public education system is fractured and school boards are infested with political operatives. The goal is often to make good workers. Parents with means can use private schools to give their kids an advantage over the public schoolers.

The French education system is designed to make good citizens. It was created under Napoleon and is frequently updated by education experts. The French are rightly proud of it.

I grew up moving back and forth between the US and France. The simple version is that caring about education is a much deeper part of French culture than American “culture.” So is protesting.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

To most Americans, the Constitution is not just our law, but our creed of Democracy. To Republicans, the Constitution is an obstacle.

Elon Musk was violating his visa when he started his first business here and very likely obtained his U.S. citizenship through fraud. Where is that investigation?

​There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content. There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

I grew up bilingual, and Americans love to correct the way I speak French words. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know how to mispronounce that correctly” usually shuts them up. If not, I’ll ask them, in French, to please teach me more French.

A good summation of David Brooks and "civility" politics generally: no one on the right-wing can ever be described honestly, while everyone who isn't on the right-wing is always portrayed as a radical breaking cherished norms.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

If and when we get the truth and reconciliation process, and an American Nuremberg underway, the number of Trump lackeys who will say “I was only following orders” will rival that of the Nazis after World War II

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

Morally fucked up how the rich get rewarded for making themselves richer and the world worse. You took out student loans and are still paying them off? You're financially irresponsible. Nearly run a multibillion dollar company into the ground? Here's your hundreds of millions in severance.

Donald Trump is betraying Ukraine and the USA and violating his own Russian sanctions to buy oil from Russia because he’s terrified of losing the midterms because he’s in the Epstein Files over a million times.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

ICE-Gestapo shot a man in NYC with his 5 year old son in the back seat, then they rammed through protesters who were trying to block their vehicle from leaving the scene. I’ll say it again and again, ICE aren’t agents or law enforcement, they are terrorists, murderers and white supremacists.

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

Most of AI (in business terms) is driven by a false belief that TECHNOLOGY is what drove the internet and telecommunications booms of the last two decades. Technology unlocked better communication and business processes. THOSE then drove the boom. Tech was a means to an end, not the end in itself.
