She’s an American citizen so I disagree with the deportation thing. But I don’t know why anyone would want their kid to be taught by this woman, why U Chicago employs her, or why she wants to stay in a country she so clearly detests (at least performatively).
I think the most annoying thing about these people — not the worst thing in a moral/intellectual sense, just the most annoying thing — is how cliched and boring they are to anyone who knows anything about this stuff. These are not edgy, new, exciting positions. This crap was in the streets and sitting in crumbled pamphlets in coffee houses in the 1960s, 1930s, heck in the 1890s. It’s just weak-minded radical cosplay for people who think incanting stale ideas makes you transgressive and cool if your audience already agrees with you or if they’re even more ignorant than you. She’s just an academic version of Hasan Piker and no more impressive.
The moment was Covid. It happened. Almost every journalist in the nation failed to relay reliable information, instead succumbing to panic and the widest-spread daily curtailment of civil liberties in my lifetime. The rare figures who didn't were silenced or stifled or removed.

Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)
“I don’t want Kamala to win — but I don’t know if I can vote for Trump either. So I feel like a coward. By default, I don’t want Trump to lose — but I don’t want to vote for him, either.”

Truly *astonishing* research on marriage & cancer:
For “prostate, breast, colorectal, esophageal, and head/neck cancers, the survival benefit associated with marriage was larger than the published survival benefit of chemotherapy.”

It’s been about 15 minutes since Harry has bitched about his life.
We’re set for another round. Thanks for giving us a few days off for the holidays your highness. 🙄
Neil Gorsuch Gets It Right on Title 42 - @philipaklein could not be more right on this. I am sympathetic to the majority, as I explain in my own piece today, but Gorsuch has the better of it, and good for KBJ for signing on. https://t.co/gIp1WDzwfE
