To my mind, a liberal masculinity (if we must go there) is men who take care of the more vulnerable, be it their own children, or hardworking immigrants under attack, or trans kids. A real man protects. A compassionate society is a far more laudable masculinity.

Great point from @moiradonegan.bsky.social on the pod: Trump's gains with young men are vanishing as they realize Trump/Tate brothers faux masculinity isn't helping them: "They’re not being elevated in their own status." Donegan is just brilliant here all throughout: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

Republicans are currently denouncing everyone in the Democratic Party as a “communist” and if you think Democrats firing at their left flank will make those attacks *less likely* and *less effective* you should try reading up on the history of McCarthyism

🔴Civilian control of policing 🔴Amnesty for all immigrants 🔴Reparations & tribal sovereignty If Dems don’t start drawing clear distinctions between the Democratic Party and the DSA, Republicans will gladly do it for them. And they’ll use it to define every Democrat on the ballot. 3/3

Striking new poll of Texas Senate race: Talarico 45 Paxton 40 This is really notable: Talarico leads among non-college voters by 45-36 and among independents by 43-23 (!) Hard to imagine this is right but he's probably slightly ahead now. www.texastribune.org/2026/07/28/t...

Talarico leads Paxton by 5 points in new Texas Senate pollThe poll found the Austin Democrat with a commanding lead among independents and a surprising edge with non-college-educated voters, who have consistently favored Republicans.www.texastribune.org

I think it’s fairly obvious that Trump’s ascendance and the rise of the “male loneliness epidemic” go hand in hand. I think we’re seeing a natural course correction as Trumpism has yielded young men with no results other than isolation. Turns out you can’t neg your way to happiness.

"Trump positions himself as a vindication of masculine prerogatives," says @moiradonegan.bsky.social. He tells men not to "cultivate virtues" but to "embrace their own vices." On the pod, this look at Trump, the Tate brothers, and the plight of young men is so good: newrepublic.com/article/2136...

🧵 This piece is really important, because it gets to something that is a prerequisite for and recurring feature of atrocities worldwide: selective empathy. Most people assume that when atrocities happen, it’s bc everyone involved is a sociopath. Some are. But not all. 1/

When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

One reform we need are real immigration courts - either full Article III courts or something akin to bankruptcy courts. The idea that immigration matters can be handled through the Executive Branch has proven to be completely unworkable.

what migrants are entitled to: fair, case-by-case adjudication what migrants are getting: mass manipulation, deportation orders without a real opportunity to be heard, constitutional violations galore ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
