as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

...AND REMEMBER, BOYS AND GIRLS, YOUR SCHOOL - LIKE OUR COUNTRY-IS MADE UP OF AMERICANS OF MANY DIFFERENT RACES, RELIGIONS AND NATIONAL ORIGINS. SO... ...if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin-don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN. HELP KEEP YOUR SCHOOL ALL AMERICAN!
you may not like it, but this is what peak libbing out looks like
This is the kind of thing that will get you punched in the face by Captain America or Superman.
Whole site being radicalized against the cynical consequentialism of the Trolley Problem and I'm here for it.
You're telling me that a famous virtue ethicist invented the trolley problem as a lesson? Much to consider.
Kobayashi Maru that shit. The whole premise is bullshit. Shut the trolley down. No one needs to die.
Philippa Foot: I invented the Trolley Problem to expose the flaws of consequentialism.
Our entire society: Finally we have created the Trolley Problem from classic philosophical work Do Not Create The Trolley Prob—

But the Penn inquiry has revived concerns about the aggressive steps the Trump administration is using to stamp out antisemitism.
What are you talking about? The Trump administration and the MAGA movement have stoked antisemitism, not attempted to "stamp it out."
That struggle is universal, and there are epistemic and intellectual tools we can all share in order to help one another fight. Who do multiply-marginalised women ‘belong’ to, Bhatt asks? To, say, men of colour, or to an essentialised idea of a ‘nation’ that demands women reproduce it, or to a feminism that considers women of colour or trans people too ‘divisive’? Bhatt answers: “I am hers, who reaches across the barriers of time and space and nationhood, who sees my suffering as her own,” (39). Let me be bold and say that this radical feminist credo is, also, liberalism. This is the humanistic mainspring of feminism, and what universalism can mean at its best. Not an obliteration of one’s unique needs or the particular beauty of one’s culture by a hegemon, but an understanding that the shared inheritance of our very humanity is something that can allow us to struggle together to build a better world. That human vulnerability and dignity is the shape of the horizon we’re marching towards.
Behold: Liberal Horseshoe Theory. Universalism through particularism. Individualism through class analysis and collective solidarity. (This has always been the point of Black feminism.)
I mean this is just lifted straight from Jesus's words in the New Testament. Plus there are tools now on the Internet that effortlessly give you the wider context with reference to other parts of scripture. biblehub.com/matthew/25-4...
I stand with my Jewish colleagues as they face Nazi-inspired threats from Travis Corcoran. Rep. Corcoran needs to face consequences. #NHPolitics
It is indeed the case that these people are too online.
Everyone find your George Lucas apology forms. You should probably keep spare copies.

Leftists come out of a socialist tradition. Liberals come from the liberal tradition. But in America's two-party system this gets smooshed together as everything on the left side of politics is "liberal". Progressives are left-leaning liberals. Longer discussion 👇
Y'all should be checking Professor Moland's account every day this month. These Women's History posts are great.

One thing that Senator Kennedy and I have in common is that we both pronounce this microblogging site "blue-skee" (rhymes with brewski). One difference between us is that I think 100 million deportations is quite obviously ethnic cleansing. No hyperbole. Great job, @davidjbier.bsky.social
You're telling me the March for Billionaires didn't work?

I don't like that we've been having to talk so much about whether the military would refuse if the President ordered a nuclear strike, or ordered troops to fire on citizens, or ...
But we've been pondering these things for a decade.

I just want a website where I can poast.
Am I fucking up polls when I identify as liberal?
And also five bucks a month to not fuck this place up. I would like to be able to do polls though.
Yeah, our constitution is an absolute albatross.
There's no final answer because everything is always in motion. Wealth and power will concentrate in new ways and we can't rest on old paradigms.
Yeah I think we should have a lot more millionaires and few to no billionaires! And yeah I'm pretty much a statist here. The state seems capable of this, and if not I think it's worth trying to build state capacity for this purpose. There's a role for supranational coordination too.
