There is no single term for all the academic discourses that define themselves in opposition to "Eurocentric cisheteropatriarchy". Thus, the need for a shorthand -- "Successor Ideology" -- to encompass all of it. link.springer.com/article/10.100… Image
Nor a term for the transition of such discourses from a largely self-referential body of texts to a series of real social movements situated in the professions seeking to "dismantle Eurocentric structures" in schools and hospitals and corporations
It will be a few years before your nurses have been trained to cease "privileging certain forms of evidence and ways of knowing" in favor of those that "dismantle Eurocentric structures" -- but it will happen, and the results will be noticeable.
This ongoing process has little to do with partisan politics at the national level

Note to Republicans: don’t go full Stacey Abrams
Sure there are differences. The point is, don't persist in claiming to have won an election you lost.
"She admitted she lost, she didn't insist otherwise!" OK. Image

Odd to juxtapose these two poll findings against one another. I think the difference in wording -- "legitimately" -- accounts for the difference, and suggests that it's more of a "not my President" phenomenon at work. ImageImage
The contrast suggests that the typical Trump voter sees the expansion of mail-in voting as inherently illegitimate at the macro-level, without necessarily glomming on to "stolen election" conspiracy theories
It's self-evident that universal mail-in voting diminishes election security relative to in person voting by some significant margin

Hmm, just noticed I am blocked by Kara Swisher, probably because I asked when the point by point rebuttal to Balaji’s thread criticizing the Recode piece mocking SV VC’s bizarre obsession with Covid that she promised would be published...
Anyway, say what you want about Facebook, none of the specific stories cited here are false
These are just aggregations by right wing sites of process stories published by mainstream outlets

Tucker basically says: so there's a few cases of fraud, but probably not on a scale to change the outcome
He of course surrounds this with a lot of grievance about those trying to silence those who doubt the election, but basically calls for litigating and recounting with little doubt it will ultimately affirm the result
I believe the technique is called “pacing and leading”

A key question whose answer will be revelatory of the nature of the new regime is: "Will they deplatform Joe Rogan"?
"Regime" does not refer to the Biden Administration. It means the larger apparatus "fighting disinformation" to assert monopoly control over the flow of information.
The Spotify decision will tell us whether the removal of Trump will cause this apparatus to moderate, or whether it will see it as warrant to consolidate its control

It's good that cities can serve as laboratories of democracy. A few places will try defunding police and it's possible that we'll gain valuable and replicable insights from the experiment. (Subsidiary to the main one, which will be "don't defund the police.")
In practical terms "defund police" means "take away union-protected jobs from a racially diverse, working class constituency and give them to middle class white women with advanced degrees in the helping professions."
I'm of course all for exploring less punitive approaches to solving social problems! But public safety is a primary social good and absolute precondition for progress in all other dimensions
