Shouldn’t effective symbols show what you’re for rather against? Nuance and even “if/then” messaging is often lost on the public in broad campaigns such as this. Look at how a slogan like “Defund the Police” was misconstrued and weaponized against police reform movements. “If abortion is outlawed, then...” is too…

Define “Mainstream media”. CNN, Washington Post, the Guardian, Financial Times, et al. have all reported on the Azov Battalion’s relationship with Nazism.

I completely agree that there is a conversation to be had about the presence of such militia groups in Ukraine, but 1) far-right militias are unfortunately not…

100% agree.

I don’t really disagree with you other than to say that the steady stream of images and voices coming from Ukraine is distinctly different from what we have experienced elsewhere. Unlike the Gulf/Iraq wars, it’s not just a polished CNN narrative that is shaping our perception, it is the chaos of clips and scenes that…

I don’t understand the point being made here. Unless I’m missing something, this comes off as a self-own by Jez. Friedman’s piece may not be the most insightful op-ed about the war in Ukraine, but (unlike the critique published here) it is cogent and fairly well argued.

If you have a critique of Friedman’s piece,…

“Rich Paul and the Money Bunch”. Ah yes... I remember the rest of that crew. There was Affluent Andy, Chuck Bux, 401 Kyle Free$tyle, and the beat master himself, Max X-empt.

There are a few. I’ve been using this one:

Or they replace it with an All Lives History Month? I’m sort of surprised that hasn’t happened already. Maybe they’re just waiting for the right dog whistle.

Oh... I did not forget Madge Sinclair. But she was the unnamed captain of the Saratoga shown only briefly at the start of Star Trek IV. She later appeared as Geordi’s mother, Captain LaForge, in an episode of TNG. While she was great in both, I don’t think either qualifies as captain of one of the franchise’s main…

Michael Burnham took over as Captain this season, becoming the first Black woman to lead one of the franchise’s main ships.

I think we all agree that when the GOP gets control of the senate again, they will abolish the filibuster to ramrod through a slew of anti-democratic legislation designed to suppress the will of the majority even further.

I think David Price represents NC-04 and Kathy Manning represents NC-06. If Price is retiring and Aiken is gunning for his seat, then he's running in the fourth district. 

It seems like an unjustified and particularly poor decision, but in many states 911 calls are public record and contain no expectation of privacy. If you call to report a crime at an address, than that becomes public information. Of course that doesn’t mean the police have to (or should) tweet the address. 

It's certainly a bit more subtle than his original name for the character, Priapismus. 

And “Tumnus” sounds a lot like “Tumescence”, which is sort of the state one would expect a satyr to be in. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not, but add it to the list of reasons why The Chronicles of Narnia is a strange series.

Going by the comments here, the idea causes resentment among the college-educated as well.

It doesn’t have to be elitist and SHOULD be paired with a swath of economic reforms that would help almost everyone. Thing like (at a minimum) free community college, continuation of child tax credits, universal pre-K... All…

Yeah. The selfishness and resentment from people on this issue genuinely frightens me. There’s a shortsighted meanness to these position that also implies a resistance to fixing flawed system solely out of spite.

“I paid off my debt, so what do I get out the deal?!”
You get to live a life already free of student debt…

I voted for Biden because he wasn’t Trump. Yes. Many voted for the same reason. But that doesn’t mean my expectations or wants from him as a leader end there. We will never see improvements in our society if all we ever do is settle for the status quo after taking steps backward.

Saying that the Warren and Sanders…

Why?

While I agree that canceling all student debt with the stroke of a pen is an unworkable solution to a very real multivariate problem, I have to massively disagree with you about means testing. Means testing is an antiquated notion that often increases the costs of programs while offering insufficient and inefficient…
