Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

I know we all love this man, but make sure to genuinely carry his message in your heart: you can always reject a false premise. There are almost always more than two choices.

Charles Sanders Peirce was born OTD in 1839. I’ve always loved this quote:

“We cannot begin with complete doubt.”

It pithily captures the pragmaticist (as he would have it) rejection of the search for foundations—we are *always* in medias res.

Cover of Berlant’s “The Queen of America Goes to Washington City.”

Cover of Berlant’s “Cruel Optimism.”

Copy of Berlant’s “The Female Complaint.”

Cover of Berlant and Edelman’s “Sex, or the Unbearable.”

The late Lauren Berlant’s major contribution to criticism was to show how American identity since the Reagan era is sustained through affective investments in fantasies that are structurally unsustainable. Berlant showed how these investments shape political & personal life under neoliberalism.

I have said this before, but eliminating programs that teach a lot of students but don’t have many majors is like a restaurant not buying flour in its grocery delivery because people aren’t ordering flour on the menu.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

“Once you realise that you are an expression of the whole of nature, you come to realise that, although you will die, you are also eternal in a non-trivial sense, since the one substance of which you are an expression will endure.” - Helen De Cruz ❤️

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

While the LAPD chief affirms a commitment to "protect lives" and "safeguard constitutional rights," live footage plays side-by-side of his officers trampling an unarmed man on the ground, then beating him with sticks, and throwing him to the ground when he tries to get up again.

Why misogyny is at the heart of South Korea's presidential elections Disgruntled young men who resent feminism are the focus of candidates vying to be president.

Just a little reminder that the South Korean president who just declared martial law was elected two years ago on a wave of anti-feminist backlash. Misogyny is routinely part of the authoritarian package.
