    Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Trump’s pick for RBG’s seat will accelerate the pro-business economic libertarianism that has defined the courts for the last twenty some years, but we’ll hear nonstop about social issues from Democrats.

    Trump can’t take on critical race theory. For all intents and purposes, he shares its fundamental belief that life is a zero-sum power game, that it’s okay to dehumanize your enemies, and that preying on people’s fears for the sake of power is fair game.

    I absolutely hate that Donald Trump has to be the one to take on critical race theory. Like in my bones, I hate it. But Donald Trump is what happens when institutions fail to do their own jobs and in this case, it's absolutely right. It needs to go.

    What’s it like to view all opposing ideas like an existential threat, instead of yet another well meaning but often flawed attempt to find meaning, belonging and truth in this wretched and beautiful world of uncertainty?

    Joe Rogan is politically liberal, through & through. But in many ways, he is *culturally* conservative. That's why he reveals elite liberals' game so well. For them, politics is just a conduit for culture war. If you fail on culture, you are the enemy. Politics is secondary.

    White editors who claim their lucrative media jobs are a product of systemic racism always have the option to personally make amends for this injustice and resign, to clear the way for POC journalists they're depriving of opportunities. But they never seem to take this option 🤔
