The right wing crash out over asian students celebrating at a UT football game reveals that all along the true goal of reactionary colorblindness was never “meritocracy” but resegregation. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
Color-blind meritocracy was, for many years, a successful rhetorical strategy for undermining antidiscrimination law and excluding Black people from selective schools and prominent positions. That’s why so many former segregationists seemed to suddenly embrace the concept in the 1970s. For them, resegregation—not color-blindness—was always the goal. As long as the success of some immigrants could be used to paint Black students as undeserving, color-blind meritocracy was good. But now many on the right see a new problem: too many Asian Americans in elite spaces. Their success, therefore, must be portrayed as a sinister theft of real (white) Americans’ birthright.

The declining “social trust” that the administration warned against is, of course, not the fault of these students. The problem is bigots like Bo French who cannot accept into their community people who do not share their race and religion, and those who monetize or otherwise profit from that bigotry by spreading it through social media. Like the proverbial child who kills their parents and asks for mercy as an orphan, they are responsible for the problem they are decrying.

Oh, they’re definitely hiring. If you’ll work from 15-45 hours a week, depending on the bosses’ whim, @ $10/hr, they’ll find a spot for you. Something steady, at a living wage? Get outta here, you obvs don’t understand the dynamics of modern labor, you socialist.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

The worst part of this is how SCOTUS will hamstring the next Dem president at every opportunity, but because it’ll be (somewhat) difficult to explain most people won’t get it. There are in-groups the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups the law binds but does not protect. Just watch.

A wave election, traditionally, cripples the opposition for a generation (see: Dems post-Mondale). The question is, what can the Dems do if a wave materializes? They need to get rid of insider trading by Congress, release all the Epstein files, and repair the levers of government (CDC, DoI, etc.) 1/

He treated it as a legitimate question about voter concerns. Voters - those winnable by ANY Democrat - DO NOT CARE about any trans topic enough to drive their vote. Saying, in that interview, "you're talking about the wrong thing" rejects the frame outright.

The Supreme Court majority is obviously dedicated to vote suppression so I suspect that when all is said and done they are going to end vote by mail. And it's all because the greatest sore loser in world history couldn't admit that he lost. It's Caligula level absurdity.
