Once again, the epic scale of the geopolitical failure of the 🇮🇷 War, despite the day-to-day coverage, is simply not being discussed in any way remotely close to the unbelievably exaggerated way in which BIDEN'S FAILURE IN 🇦🇫 & WITHDRAWAL FROM THE WORLD dominated the National Conversation™️ in 2021.

I revere Dolly Parton much as I do Fred Rogers. They’re people who made it their life goal just to be gentle and kind to everyone that they met. They are prime examples of how we all should behave and live our lives.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

In 2026, there is no longer any lab leak hypothesis you can state consistently with the available evidence. Despite this, it has been the dominant media narrative for six years. Read my new data-driven investigation: www.protagonist-science.com/p/biased-med...

Popularism and populism both derive from the same essential impulse, which is to construct a synthetic version of The People that will cure democracy of the need to adjudicate between competing claims.

i'm finally going through the dissents in the birthright citizenship case, each of which grafts some extremely broad unspoken exception onto the plain language of the constitution, and every single dissent can be rebutted by asking "if that is what the drafters meant then why didn't they say it?"

A two-month period in the summer of 1946 birthed Trump, W., Clinton — and the baby boom itself. A look at how the boom shaped U.S. politics and how it didn't. Gift link: shorturl.at/ermkQ

One summer in 1946 produced three future presidents

A 66-day stretch in 1946 produced Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. The coincidence offers insight into the power of the baby boom generation.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

People can’t afford groceries or gas. But we’re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."

In case people didn’t know: This is the leading scholar behind the very first big legal challenge to Obamacare, and is now among the leading theorists supporting Donald Trump’s assault on birthright citizenship as spelled out in the 14th Amendment. There’s probably a throughline there.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
