There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago.

And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

What urgency? Is Summers taking bribes from foreign potentates or firing everybody in the civil service or murdering Venezuelan fisherfolk?

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Q: In addition to Clinton, Larry Summers, and Reid Hoffman, Trump is targeting JPMorgan Chase.

Who is he NOT targeting in the process of targeting JPM?

Bear? Deutsche?

These are all diversions, and I'm wondering what bank he is diverting FROM?

I have a PhD in political and media sociology and I have stopped researching. Multiple publications and a book before. I only teach now. I just couldn’t deal with the stupidity. I have nothing to add at this point.

Historians know this.

As do sociologistsβ€”Critical Race Theory was/is a very reasonable attempt at tackling issues that have never been properly addressed. The backlash didn't happen because the woke went too far, but because the just never went far enough.

It happened because we let it.

Looked it up. Donohue, the author here, is the president of the Catholic League, & also an adjunct scholar with the Heritage Foundation. It has been his life’s mission to defend sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and he is using Kelly’s statements as a further justification in his argument.

"strategy" lol. Announcing tariffs makes Trump feel potent, there's no immediate way of stopping him. That's why he does it, for the chubby. Then eventually polling helps staff convince him to pull back.
