a lot of people are responding to this with instances of arabs winning these awards because they don’t understand how racism works. to a racist, instances of an arab winning these awards or contributing to literature are invalid *because* they are arab.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

a pretty common liberal misunderstanding of racism is that racists are technically wrong on the facts, because they expect a racist to act with logic No! A racist thinks that nonwhite people are inferior at a fundamental level!

🚨🚨🚨Trump just made another comment about how his “two big monsters” will make history next week. “So, I wonder if I should say this. I’d like a little advice from my two people, my two big monsters. My two monsters are going to be the biggest stars in the country in a week.”

i mean yea. they're fascists. they will lie to you to make sure undesirable types of people are removed from the country. eventually this is gonna come to blows but apparently we're gonna keep waiting and fruitlessly hope for a government that will.

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

every discussion of current events just devolves into this because the law enforcement mechanism *is the same mechanism doing this*

pluralistic government only exists as a compromise to avoid public violence against people with power and so long as that continues to not happen, here we are

i get not wanting to be the mayor at the center of the constitutional crisis but uh the gestapo is in your town and youre telling people to hide in their homes and trust the paperwork they routinely lie about

kinda says a lot that you seem to think its easier and more effective to scold every trans person into voting for their own rights to be taken away than it is to scold a candidate for doing that

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative. And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

if Biden, who was actually president instead of just hypothetically president, did what he was supposed to, Trump would not have been around to run in 2024 at all

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

how should we accommodate people uncomfortable with sharing the same water fountains as black people

Florid Man@humintel.bsky.social

That's great. What about the women that would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a trans woman? Because that's still most of the -extremely progressive- women I know. (I don't know any MAGA women)

didnt they kill cato by pouring molten gold down his throat

Cato Institute@cato.org

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

something to be said that american fascism is a fanatical religious belief system and maybe we should reject nonsense beliefs

Philip Bump@pbump.com

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

homeschooling should be illegal for a variety of reasons but the biggest one of all is that it is child abuse to actively prevent your kid from being a part of wider society
