(taking notes) Yes, yes, I see. The social movements *before* the 1970s and 1980s were different because those movements didn't try to make a moral language out of their efforts to create a more just society. Hmm, I bet that checks out. No need to look at the 1960s.

Liu: I’m trying to get at the root of why identity politics was embraced by liberals and progressives. One of the things I found was that it was a successful strategy to talk about victimhood after the social movement sort of ran out of steam in the ’70s and especially in the ’80s.

It was an attempt to try to make a moral language out of a secular drive to create a more just society. So if we created this category about victimization and social inequity, we could maybe — and I’m saying “we” from the liberal-left point of view — peel some of the right wing or the conservatives or the religious people over to our side.

The more I think about this, the worse it sounds. "Oh, yeah, this guy deserves to be impeached on the merits, for sure. But hmm, what about our party's political agenda?"

Hmmm. The Worst Wing. An idea for a TV series?

Susie Wiles was a 100% MAGA loyalist. But Stephen Miller is much worse, Marc Elias says. “He is from the worst part of the worst wing of the worst political movement of a generation.” Follow us to keep watch on the people rewriting the rules.

👀 Feast your eyes on these lovely new images from the #Euclid space telescope. This is a gravitational illusion! Each swirling arc you see comes from a very distant galaxy, whose light has been warped by the curved spacetime that surrounds the foreground galaxy at the centre. Fabulous !! 🔭🧪 📷 Lines+

a 2x6 panel, each containing images of a central galaxy encircled by giant arcs. Those arcs are the light from distant galaxies, that have been distorted as they journey through the curved spacetime that surrounds the foreground galaxy.
