Anybody recommend a good text on deontology? Chat says Right and Good by Ross but that’s almost 100 years old there’s gotta be something newer #philosophy

1/ Yrs ago I’m on a plane next to a fam and I knew dad was r wing and he was itching to “talk” so we make small talk and then he says How would you feel if he (my kid) had his seat taken from Harvard because he’s not white I said if he had his place taken it would be because of the idiot children of

Michael HobbesGood-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

“People are giving up on being human” This reads like a poem. Lovey, and dark. I’m late Gen X and remeber the quicksand trope in every show we watched. It WAS a thing you feared.

A new survey finds that American Jews are just as likely as all Americans to believe Israel is guilty of genocide, and that more American Jews approve of Mamdani than of Netanyahu. apnews.com/article/isra...

Again when a Republican says they want to ban Transitioning because they “care about the kids” it’s totally fine to tell them to shut the fuck up and call them liars. Much better than hearing them out or conceding. And it feels better. Seriously just try it’ll be good for you
AFSCMEThanks to the Trump administration’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 1 million children have been kicked off food aid. When families are already struggling to make ends meet, working people deserve better.

Next in our Prospect Patriots series: Ida B. Wells. I learned a lot from this profile by Naomi Bethune about Wells' early personal defiance of whites only laws, her need to carry a pistol while reporting on lynching, her radicalism that got her dropped from the founders of the NAACP. Great story!
Ida B. Wells: Brave Woman - The American ProspectBy chronicling the shame of lynching in the South, Ida B. Wells exposed the corruption of white supremacy.prospect.orgGreat question Remigration and quoting the Turner diaries is pretty damned racist.

I’ve been threatening to do this for quite a while and mostly haven’t had the time but DSA about to get my time and money and a big part of that will be in response to these petulant fucking children. Yes dickhead, when socialists get the presidency and congress you can hold us to account.

This whole thread I get that when pelosi et al say they want a strong Republican Party they mean that democracy thrives under contestation ideas. So let the contestation be between moderate liberals and socialists. There’s a lot I can see eye to eye on w moderate libs. Not conservatives tho
Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

Buttigieg's consistently soft handling of Tesla and SpaceX -- and thus, of Elon Musk -- is a big old flashing vulnerability if any one of his political rivals want to land an nasty and entirely justified hit on him going forward
Rude Law DogI cannot emphasize enough how fucked up SpaceX's Texas site is and the Biden administration (specifically the FAA under Pete Buttigieg) gaslit everyone who pointed out this was de facto eminent domain (w no compensation) of protected wildlife habitat
God forbid we defund the local government agents that (checks notes) tell you to go fuck yourself and wish you good luck when thugs break into your house. Can’t have that!
