American Higher Ed Is Headed Toward Austerity on a Gurney
Will the ridiculous Critical Theory and Social Justice department at Occidental College survive? Will queer theorist Rei Terada, Professor of Comparative Literature at UC Irvine, get juicy lecture fees to discuss “Futures of Opacity: Anti-capitalism and Racialization in the Era of Real Subsumption”? Maybe not.
The Coronavirus Monsters on Main Street
Like a bad Twilight Zone trip, we are frantically searching for someone or something to blame, and Trump gets the brunt.
Trump vs Biden? Maybe. Trump vs the Press? Absolutely
The press has its lowest ratings in a crisis ever—and they walked right into it.
The Boomers Will Sacrifice Themselves on the Beaches of COVID-19
The Boomers are the first wave of COVID-19’s Omaha Beach, flattening the curve so that if and when a second wave of the virus hits, the young can go on living. We will have done our duty and sacrificed for our country. The honor will not be shared. We will have drawn the short straw and the older generation will finally, belatedly, pass from the scene.
Trump Is Right: It’s China’s Fault

Coronavirus: “Heck of a Job, Trumpy”
What a disgraceful boob…There is something worse than having a Democratic president appoint judges for four years, and that’s having a man-child in charge of the federal government during a national crisis unprecedented in living memory. The unseriousness of this man, in this time, is utterly infuriating, and demoralizing.
The Government Has Been Flying Blind in Its Coronavirus Response
The government was ill-prepared for this outbreak and then frittered away what time they had to get ready.
Bernie Sanders, Communist Sympathizer
If any of these other Democratic candidates want to have a prayer of derailing Sanders, they’ve got to put him seriously on the defensive about his communist sympathies. Does Elizabeth Warren have the courage, and the good sense, to tear into Bernie over this the way she tore into Bloomberg over sexual harassment? Probably not, because in her social class, “red baiting” is the Worst Thing In The World, right up there with transphobia.
Bloomberg Is the Smirking Id of America’s Elites
He says he’s ‘fiscally conservative and socially liberal.’ What that amounts to is dehumanizing authoritarianism.
Bloomberg the Authoritarian Oligarch
Bloomberg’s heavy-handed, abusive policies weren’t just egregious violations of civil liberties, but they were also doing nothing to make the city more secure. Despite this, Bloomberg was a fervent defender of his policies until he realized that they would be a political liability for his current presidential campaign.

The Obama Administration Wrecked Libya for a Generation
Libya’s ongoing destruction belongs to Hillary Clinton more than anyone else. It was she who pushed President Barack Obama to launch his splendid little war, backing the overthrow of Moammar Gaddafi in the name of protecting Libya’s civilians. When later asked about Gaddafi’s death, she cackled and exclaimed: “We came, we saw, he died.
Starting an Illegal War on a Whim
Nothing could be more repugnant to our republican system of government than an unaccountable decision by the executive to commit an act of war without the knowledge or consent of the governed. Americans and Iranians will pay the price of a decision that was taken by a lawless president.
Pelosi’s Game of Chicken Will Leave her Party Fried
The Speaker’s claims about wanting a fair trial ring hollow as she delays the inevitable and 2020 Democratic candidates suffer.
Why Conservatives Should Take Their Fight to the Cities
