A thoughtful piece from @sigalsamuel.bsky.social: "For you, the tricky question is: How do you get someone to realize that they’re in a dual state, when its darker half has not yet touched their life personally?" www.vox.com/future-perfe...
"So it’s not only that federal agents kill an American citizen like authoritarian thugs, but their superiors in Washington justified that killing with the kind of bald-faced lie that recalls Tehran and Moscow." www.vox.com/policy/47639...

"This suggests that the common sense read of the indictment — that it’s an authoritarian overreach by an authoritarian president — is also the correct one." www.vox.com/politics/462...
"This is what it looks like when a society’s elite rolls over in the face of authoritarianism. It never ends well." www.vox.com/politics/461...
I think I subscribe to too many newsletters
"The phone sets the pizzicato of Americans’ daily lives... It has bestowed on us an infernal mental itchiness, and it whispers, ceaselessly, to take a break from whatever else we’re doing and look at the phone again." www.theargumentmag.com/p/youre-bein...
"But now the American political system is crumbling, and many of its tools for containing political violence lie shattered. This probably will not be the event to break America, but we have to consider the possibility that it may be." www.vox.com/politics/461...
So thrilled to welcome Christina Vallice to Vox as our new head of video! www.vox.com/press-room/4...

What a sentence: Linkedin is "a lavish psychoanalytic corpus, bursting with naked ambition, inspiration, desperation, status-seeking, spiritual yearning, brownnosing, name-dropping, corporate shilling, and self-promotion." www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
not sure how 2015 college grads are bosting a decade of work experience on LinkedIn when last I checked 2015 was only 5 years ago
a few weeks late to this piece but it really is interesting to reflect back on what a massive legislative achievement NYC's Pre-K for All was at the time, and why 3K hasn't gone nearly as well nymag.com/intelligence...
"Boredom is when you do the things that make you feel you have life under control. Not being bored is why you always feel busy, why you keep “not having time” to take a package to the post office or work on your novel. You have time—you just spend it on your phone." open.substack.com/pub/embedded...
In the first edition of our new daily newsletter, @patrickcreis.bsky.social explains Trump's attack on birthright citizenship and the larger significance of the maneuver. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/pUa5O5
More on The Logoff, our new newsletter:
“The idea is to present political news in a deeply accessible way... A multi-hour Twitter doomscrolling session doesn’t leave me with a better understanding of what’s going on."

From smarties Sigal Samuel and @mbolotnikova.bsky.social: Some morally nuanced advice on how to think about flying and travel amidst the worsening climate crisis. www.vox.com/future-perfe... @vox.com
The single most unconstitutional thing Trump did yesterday, explained www.vox.com/immigration/...
"It’s an order that will test just how willing the federal bureaucracy and the courts are to defend against unlawful Trumpian behavior." www.vox.com/policy/39586...
The prevailing belief among legal experts is that ending birthright citizenship would require a constitutional amendment, that there is not enough support in Congress to pass one, and that Trump’s proposed executive order would not hold up in court. www.vox.com/policy/38609...
"When it comes to speeches, there are two Donald Trumps. The first is Teleprompter Trump, who reads a prepared speech and tends to be staid, sleepy, and insincere. The second is Rally Trump." www.vox.com/politics/395...
