Clubhouse is another embodiment of the new era. Trump barely comes up in conversation. Instead, people spend hours talking about foreign policy or go whale moaning—things which had declined in importance in the preceding 4 years.
Especially when it comes to elite culture, politics, and media, the U.S. is significantly less racist than European countries. It's not even close. Americans sometimes forget this.
For those of you who were in our raucous clubhouse room earlier, @ChristineEmba took me to task. I left the room. Epicness ensued. If you want to experience this in longer, recorded form, check out our classic @WisdomCrowdsPod episode:

Muslims were another minority group where Trump made significant gains. 35% voted for Trump, according to this AP VoteCast survey
I see Ilhan Omar being attacked in some conservative circles for not denouncing Al Qaeda. Her response was the correct one—she refused to dignify it with an answer. No American Muslim should have to spell out that they're anti-Al Qaeda. It should be the starting presumption
For a lot of us, this wasn't just normal politics. It was about the safety of our families and communities. That's why it's really scary

The pictures of Pompeo grinning, smiling, and laughing with the crown prince—as if a journalist wasn't just murdered—are remarkable. Not only is it bad policy; it's downright embarrassing. It makes Pompeo look like an unserious pushover. It's really indefensible on any grounds
Remember all those commentators and journalists who smugly informed us that the Woke craziness and suppression of campus speech was being overhyped and it was just a few overzealous students? They'll never admit they're wrong. But they were very, very wrong
As #Sweden continues to refuse lockdown, its deaths per million is skyrocketing, far exceeding the US as well as its neighbors. Compare to Finland and Norway, for example
My new piece in @TheAtlantic is out today: The Chinese regime *is* to blame, and we shouldn't be coy about saying so. To say that this is racism is absurd. A regime is not a race
