Of all the thinkers in this space, I've had high regard only for @GlennLoury. He's fair and independent minded and admits when he is wrong. I also appreciate what he's doing to shine a light on Gaza. But this flirtation w/ Tucker is dismaying beyond words https://t.co/SSih9KfsQt

America once deployed the machinery of the state to prevent its involuntary workers from fleeing. Now it is deploying it to throw out voluntary labor. It's authoritarian impulses will always find an object.

RT @BillKristol: "Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

At @UnPopulistMag @evefairbanks fascinating report from South Africa: How many Afrikaners allegedly facing genocide has Trump been able to scare up to sign up for his special refugee program after intense outreach? 50! https://t.co/OeJjndBe03

Really fine review of Sam Tanenhaus' masterful new biography of Bill Buckley by Joshua Tait at @UnPopulistMag. The culture warriors of today are meaner than Buckley but they stand on his shoulders. https://t.co/irnXWDMdHY

Musk's calling Trump's BBBB an abomination. If you'd been reading @UnPopulistMag, you'd have seen this coming. Trump's post-liberal coalition is sillier than Meyer's conservative-liberal fusion. No surprise its collapsing from its internal contradicitons. https://t.co/C9zNy3ryFF
