I’ve been telling people this for years, many Arizonans know this guy is junk and too many politicos have been eating his stuff up bc they bit on his “anti-woke” schtick / he got a NYT profile.

I’m getting the feeling this scandal is going to tangibly affect more people than just Swalwell

@akoustov The problem here is you’re recognizing there’s space for conversation, but instead of asking for an open and imaginative conversation on the boundaries of belonging/citizenship in the country (what people live Trump/Vance do), you’re blaming the left and asking to go backwards.
English
@akoustov But, your article makes it sound like you’re asking to return to the something more hard-lined than Obama era, starting to call people illegals to appease a small cohort of conservative libs through what exactly (you don’t specify other than distinguishing btw “illegals” V legal)
English
In a moment where Americans are putting their bodies on the line and even dying to defend immigrant communities, this piece does a major disservice to the conversation. Notice how there isn’t a single actual voice from the ominous “left” included, nor any organizers whatsoever.
Alexander Kustov@akoustov
"I only oppose illegal immigration" was often insincere. But social norms don't have to be sincere to be useful. My first piece in The Atlantic (not my title) on what we lost when that norm collapsed.
English
The overreach of the Trrump administration’s immigration cracked down has opened up space for a major shift in the conversation around immigration and democracy in America, but this article only asks for us to return to the same politics that got us here in the first place.

@Eric_Erins Love when people use identity politics to own the libs. The “but he’s Mexican” argument is also 10/10 skit material
English
There’s a lot going on here. White tenants utilizing an anti gentrification ordinance against a Mexican American guy who has owned the property for 30 years. This is funny actually. 10/10 would make a great skit there’s material here

The empirical battle over the impact / effectiveness of populism is funny because there's no real measure of the juice. A politician either has it or they don't, and no text analysis or survey experiment can determine this.

@souljagoyteller Don't confuse his sympathy for Americana innocence with conservatism. The point was always its dark side, or what it feels like to grow up and realize the revolting reality.

David Lynch is one of modern America’s greatest conservative artists but we’re not ready to have that conversation yet

Fraser is so right, Habermas hits when you just get to grad school and read the structural transformation of the public sphere. That spark goes out when you start to think clearly again.

Not sure why a six-month-old video is relevant here — especially since it was filmed near 35th Street on the south lakefront, nowhere near the far North Side beach where Sheridan Gorman was killed. This feels like nothing more than rage bait.
Fox News@FoxNews
A resurfaced video of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker giving a glowing review of Chicago's lakefront is stirring up controversy after a college student's murder near the area. Pritzker highlighted the safety of the area, which now conflicts with the murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman, who was allegedly shot and killed by an illegal immigrant while walking near the lakefront with friends last week.

Great story from Cheever and an absolutely perfect performance from Lancaster in the move. Sometimes it feels like America itself is Neddy Merrill.
Mike David@mikemoviez
"THE SWIMMER [1968] is a surreal, unsettling, and highly stylized masterpiece, featuring an unforgettable performance by Burt Lancaster, and directed by Frank Perry. It is based on the 1964 short story of the same title by author John Cheever. It follows a man’s delusional journey across suburban pools, which serves as a profound allegory for the decline of the American Dream, personal failure, and the loss of youth. A "suburban odyssey" that blends a dreamy, sunny aesthetic with dark, psychological undercurrents, it acts as a blistering satire of upper-middle class affluence, vanity and denial. The film is known for its dream-like, sometimes disjointed narrative, with some viewers seeing it as an interpretation of the descent into Hell."

he’s right. you need to lock in and start buying lots of 700+ page indie press novels in translation to get through the oncoming nuclear winter
Ahmed Askary@pashadelics
People really believe this won’t escalate further, that oil won’t hit $150+, and a global recession isn’t coming. The best time to lock in was yesterday.

So you’re saying people… really do want to work? What a rotten a system where the government employs people to keep the sidewalks usable.
signüll@signulll
zohran mamdani gave out $35 per hour to shovel snow to any person, so naturally each side walk intersection is now being shoveled by like 7 ppl. this is exactly how the government operates: without thinking about any second order affects & also because spending other ppl’s money (tax) is super duper easy. show me the incentives & i will show you the outcome.
