Trump, Musk and the Right have their freedom. It's the domination of the workplace and the discipline of the market.
@CoreyRobin
and I argue the Left should counter with its own politics of freedom. "Unfreedom today is most widely experienced in and because of the economy."
.
@alexgourevitch
and I make the case here why freedom is the fundamental value for the left, and why a freedom program begins with/at work.

Idiotic statement. I, a Jew, am far safer here in the United States than in Israel. Israel has in no way made me safer. Meanwhile, Biden implying that if American Jews want to feel safe they should go to Israel. That's anti-semitic. Not to mention, absurd.
“Were there no Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world that is safe,” Biden says at the White House Hanukkah party as he reaffirms support for Israel against its war against Hamas.

Probably true. But the problem is also reducing politics to moral outrage. Hamas is a political dead end as is the gov’t of a Jewish State. There is no real freedom struggle nor a democratic politics. Just a discursive conflict over whose pointless violence is morally justified.
Where’s the outrage? Where’s the outcry? The ugly truth is that many of those who rightly say that nothing justifies Hamas terrorism deep down believe that justifies this.

There should be unconditional resistance to more restrictions. It should be seen for what it is: quasi-permanent accommodation to austerity and subjection to arbitrary government standards that individuate responsibility. Instead, expand health care capacity.

In Israel, Biden invokes the disastrous US decision to invade Iraq after 9/11. One of loudest cheerleaders for the US attack on Iraq was Netanyahu, who offered a "guarantee" in 2002 an invasion would pacify the region and mocked people who predicted a group like ISIS would emerge

A counterpoint to Christakis that

Graduate students are primarily students and trainees, not ordinary workers. Academia is a calling. I suspect unionization will tip the balance so faculty prefer, at the margin, to hire post-docs to do research in their labs rather than students.

Malcolm Gladwell is the Aaron Sorkin of journalism. Clever ignoramus who confuses the world with the morality play that exists only in his head. All the more simplistic for imagining he has a subtle cast of mind. Telling review of his latest book on US fire bombing of Japan.
This absolutely devastating. Humane war, if it ever existed as a vision, was peripheral compared to other forces in the coming of air power. Ask Japanese victims.
