Attacks on Muslims flood mainstream after Mamdani win Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

The Hard Calls Dems Must Make to Regain Power Democrats want to win over more moderate voters. But are they willing to adopt moderate positions?

my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...

I wrote about censorship at military academies, getting one’s work banned, and that although White Fragility is not a great book, fragility is at the heart of Hegseth’s bans.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

it is beyond insane that this unbelievably crucial context is just not deemed worthy of mention by our political media

Greenbelt and Langston Terrace planners promised quality housing — and to improve residents’ mor... The unique New Deal planned communities were designed to address DC’s acute housing shortage in the 1930s and uplift the virtue of residents, but ultimately failed to live up to their full promise.

My housing-nerd reseach turned history paper has become journalism! I am v excited to share the origin stories of these two neighbors (and what that story tells us about segregation, 1930s planners' aspirations, and federal housing policy) 🏘
