Alabama Governor Signs New ‘Heartbeat Bill’ Lowering State’s Age Of Consent

Donald Trump holding a basketball, making a smug face, and pointing

Folks, they’re calling him Pedo Turkoglu

As the war machine keeps turning

So true king

Don’t worry guys, I’ve been personally assured that if Trump just fires Pam Bondi the Epstein files will be released in full.

It would be extremely on brand for the contemporary conservative movement to yet again focus time, energy, and "focus" on something that just isn't happening.

There it is!

The ADL Wants to Conflate Critiques of Israel with Antisemitism. That Won’t Make Jews Safer. As conservative pundits mainstream antisemitic tropes, the ADL is instead focused on silencing expressions of Palestinian solidarity.

I wrote about this dynamic, particularly as it manifests in the disgraceful conduct of the ADL, last year. It’s gotten so, so much worse since then: inthesetimes.com/article/adl-...

When you’re super duper seriously concerned about the rise of antisemitism.

"Critical Race Theory, Science and Pseudoscience": A Conversation with Victor Ray and Sam Hoadley-Brill Critical race theory (CRT) is based on the premises of pervasive racial inequality and a social constructionist (i.e. anti-essentialist) conception of race. It challenges the idea that the superficial...

Nothing captures the pathologies of mainstream media quite so clearly as the intimate relationship between the New York Times and far-right activist Christopher Rufo - who relies on the NYT to launder his disingenuous crusades, has said so himself publicly, and yet they keep obliging.

Great thread:

I’m sorry, everybody agrees on what now?

You tell ‘em, Jimbo. I’m sure your fans will forgive you for criticizing Hitler too much now.

Good to see you here man!

What is J.D. Vance even referring to? Thuringia, for example, was a stronghold of the Nazi party - it was the first German state (Land) where a Nazi (Wilhelm Frick) became a minister. Today it is also a stronghold of the most radical, racist and anti-Semitic #AfD politicians.

School voucher programs are bad, but this is the worst case scenario of bad

Arizona Regulators Closed a Failing Charter School. It Reopened as a Private Religious School Funded by Taxpayers. Arizona’s acclaimed voucher program provides zero transparency into private schools’ history, academic performance or financial sustainability to help parents make informed school choices.

“Arizona does no vetting of new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school ‘provider’ has already failed, was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, living room, or garage, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning.”

Universities and the Coming Storm It’s difficult for colleges to defend democracy if they aren’t run democratically.

This is a really good essay from Johns Hopkins professor Francois Furstenberg about universities, which are under threat from right-wing attacks but which have no credibility as defenders of democracy, since they don't practice democracy internally.

Screenshot of Elon Musk quote tweeting a New York Post tweet about him changing his name to “Kekius Maximus.” Elon adds “Kek”

Sometimes it makes perfect sense that Elon Musk is the way that he is. Other times he behaves in ways that are surprising even given how much we know about how deeply lonely and sad his existence is. This is one of those times

Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell type beat

Tfw you take a fascist structure and stick a communism inside of it 😩😏

Always a good time to revisit this absolute classic:

“You have a communism with fascism inside of it: Communo-Fascism. So what is the dialectical opposite of Communo-Fascism? It’s a fascism with communism inside of it: Fash-O’Communism.”

A legend

People "Feel Unsafe" Because Visible Poverty Is Everywhere Media hysteria around “rising crime” works because it touches on something real: a palpable increase in visible human suffering. What matters is how we alleviate that suffering.

This has become an area of academic research, that people often mistake the profound discomfort of visible poverty with risk of violent danger

Paging @mattpolprof.bsky.social

That guy is always being weird in your replies. I thought it must have been a bit between close friends given how comfortable he seemed

You’re right, he isn’t, but I don’t think he knows that. He thinks fascism and communism are two sides of the same “communo-fascist” or “fascio-communist” coin.
