A recent (open-access) publication on the far right politics of masculinity. A deep dive into their obsession with hard, masculine-coded bodies -- their obsession with testosterone/nutritional conspiracies -- and their obsession with gender boundaries. Check it out (and pass along)! Link below.

The Roberts Court today (& every day) reminding us that originalism is founded in one core commitment. Precedent doesn't matter. Neither does the plain text. Only what you imagine the “original intent” of the Constitution to be — which, of course, will always justify what you wanted to do all along.

A prime case of far right language politics. Across Europe, they call it "remigration". Here, they push the "Free Movement Plan". The Trumpists wave signs of "mass deportation". All linguistic tools to sanitize an ugly reality: the forced displacement of ethnic "undesirables" for nationalist aims.
Israeli political and security officials replaced the term “voluntary migration” with “Free Movement Plan” when referring to plans to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
