Most non-academics assume that our job prospects are like those of doctors or lawyers. Yet (napkin math) there are likely a similar number of tenure track political theorists in the United States as there are active NFL and NBA players.

Itโs interesting that Trump is especially interested in rigging the election in Alaska. At exactly the moment when he is trying to give Alaskaโs natural resources to Russia.

Iโm just gonna leave this here- a congresswoman who flipped a Trump district to win a competitive election is painfully aware that condemning an ad less than a week out from an election will not be what makes or breaks a campaign. This is an intentional attack against Abdul El-Sayed and should be treated as an attack against the Senate majority.
Goodbye loser.

In "Asylum," Ranjana Khanna shows how postcolonial asylum constructs spaces of hospitality and hostility that render divisions between the human and nonhuman, dignity and shame, value and disposability. Read the intro for free now: buff.ly/QPo12T9
ALT Cover of Asylum: The Concept and the Practice by Ranjana Khanna. The cover features a pale gray-white background with a three-dimensional shape of thin, vertical black lines of varying heights, forming a cage-like structure. The title appears in large, red serif capitals across the center. The subtitle is in black italic text at the lower right, and the author's name appears in black capitals at the bottom left.

Strong statement from @RepCasar responding to @brianschatz about priorities from the expected Democratic majority next year. "We cannot be the party of nervous lawyers who just tinker around the edges."

Words cannot describe the extreme evil, callousness, and banality of Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and Brett McGurk who backed the genocide to the bitter end of their own rule. True Eichmanns in the Arendtian mold.

This. This. This. The most insulting thing about these small minded people is they insist on making our country small like them.

You donโt hate Jared Kushner enough..
โKushner told Zelensky that he should pause the strikes because he and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff were dedicating a lot of time, energy, and jet fuel to mediating with Moscow, one of the U.S. officials said. A 30-day pause on refineries would be a way for Ukraine to show gratitude, that U.S. official said.โ
An almost comical thing to tell a nation fighting for its existence. Lay down your weapons because we are exhausted from taking a private jet.

Time to retire.
WMFD: Nancy Pelosi criticized Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed over their views on Israel Thursday, calling their positions โwrongโ and saying they did not reflect congressional Democrats.
On Abdul El-Sayed: โThis new person in Michigan, weโll see if he gets elected.โ

โLebanonโs Jews were not Israelis-in-waiting, estranged from their proper national home,โ writes Joelle M. Abi-Rached. โThey were Lebanese Jews, and Lebanonโs failure to protect them does not erase that history.โ go.nybooks.com/4eBf5nK

Abdul's election is a clean test. If he wins, this will look like the roadkill of cynical, divide and rule, identity politics. If he loses, culture war politics happily march on, Islamophobia from the right, vs. this endlessly shitty, passive-aggressive, liberal hand-wringing.
