    Unexpected in part because never has there been a less likely chant in a street protest. I'll start with the article the words were drawn from. See if you can pick out the chant: The reveal (and video of the chant) is here:

    One time, during Occupy Wall Street, a contingent of the protesters gathered on the streets of NYC chanted words from an article I wrote. It was one of the weirdest moments in my career. Hard to believe it was a decade ago.

    In your estimation, are there no non-CRTist, only CRTists and anti-CRTists?

    The reality is that we have a two-party, partisan political system that will not change in our lifetime. If you want to advance your agenda, you have to make choices within it—imagining oneself a centrist-transcender is a narcissistic evasion and an abdication of responsibility.

    I transcend partisanship not through brilliance but by caring more about being intellectually honest in my work than in who wins. This does make me ineffective at securing partisan victories, which I don't care about, but effective at producing trustworthy journalism.

    Magical Centrist (n.): An intellectual who believes that both sides are wrong and that he or she transcends partisan politics through unique brilliance; often a method for securing social status while avoiding tangible commitment; ultimately, ineffective. (See: Libertarian, IDW.)

    Billionaires use a strategy known as "buy-borrow-die" to avoid paying any tax on their capital gains. This is made possible by a loophole called step-up basis. explains how lobbyists defeated Biden's effort to close it.

    Maybe it was the meth addicts shouting obscenities at female runners, or the homeless man who defecated on my front step, or the garage break-ins, or the window-smash car break-ins, or watching the LAPD shoot a mentally ill man, but street vendors never bothered me. Priorities!

    🚨 The city is proposing to ban all street vending on Melrose, from Fairfax to La Brea. An LAPD letter claims that “the presence of street vending has increased along the corridor and has played a role in a decrease in quality of life and an increase in criminal activity.”

    Let's say, for the sake of argument, that a subset of antivaxxers and antimaskers are manifesting denial of a thing that would terrify them if they acknowledged it was true. In general, how do you get people in denial to see more clearly?

    That's not to say there's no racist opposition to what people shorthand as CRT. There's some racist opposition to most things. But it's not the core of the controversy.

    When you eschew making stereotyped presumptions about what people of color believe it spares you from incorrect analysis.

    It's a straddling of the verbal/written divide that leads SM right there, IMO: the format itself is effectively oral, but the process of carefully (to various extents) crafting the 280 char messages and posting them in full, permanently, creates *illusion* of a written format

    My experience of archaeologists suggests that if, a thousand years from now, they’re digging up the remains of 21st century America, they’ll actually be piecing together broken ceramics, and puzzling over how the Crate & Barrel Culture displaced the earlier Wedgwood Civilization.

    What happened in the Ca Recall … 2) Elder had a case against Newsom. Instead he veered off course & fixated on GOP crowd pleasers - media bias, elex fraud, etc. Rs can win a Base v Base in a purple state - when it really is about max’ing turnout. Not so in deep blue states 2/x
