Always wondered what private equity thought owning newspapers was for when they keep gutting them, but laying off half a dozen editorial boards right before they publish midterm endorsements does hint at a likely motive. goldenstatereport.substack.com/p/california...

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but the sitting president has all but declared war on states that didn’t vote for him, and I feel like the media should be talking about that every once in a while, right?

As of this week, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their legal status. Most have lost work permits as well. That's left many people unable to support themselves. Here is a verified link to a fundraiser supporting Haitians in Springfield. Please drop links to other fundraisers in the replies.

This week, 350,000 Haitians in the US will lose their legal status in light of the Supreme Court's decision allowing the Trump administration to gut the Temporary Protected Status program. No other state will feel the repercussions more than Florida, where half of the 350,000 in the US now live.

As an American history professor, I regularly read new books, articles, and dissertations, and also evaluate unpublished manuscripts for journals and book publishers. I would not categorize the recent and emerging historiography in the binary way that Ezra Klein does.

There has been a severing of American history into two visions: one that can only see glory and one that can only see suffering and sin.

This is a great example of what's called "pluralistic ignorance" -- the phenomenon whereby most people share a particular view, but they *don't think other people share it*. In this case: most people are concerned about climate change but think others aren't.

Over 50% of Americans say climate change is a serious threat; only 10% think their compatriots feel the same

That perception gap on the issue is among the highest in the world, per a new Gallup poll....

saying a certain group of people is "poisoning the blood" of our country is race neutral and not overtly racist according to Alito. this supreme court basically just ruled that Nazi-ism would not count as "overtly racist" and that Mein Kampf was a "race neutral" book.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."
