Iโ€™m going to wait 3 days to see how this whole Pope situation turns out.

Itโ€™s hilarious to me when people call Elon Musk an inventor when he even stole his fascism from his grandfather. Dude is worth over 300 billion and he canโ€™t even dream up how to be a loser on his own.

I swear people love trying to rebrand WL to pretend it wasnt WL but then do everything that is associated with conforming to thinness. Iโ€™m not smaller. Iโ€™ve learned how to take up less space.

WL talk. Snark.

Apparently Lizzo is trying to rebrand WL as weight release. I wonder if itโ€™s like emotional release. Did her body fat scream into the void?

I wonder many people offered to give Trump a golden shower during this tariff shenanigans.

If you believe due process actually exists within our justice system. The current administration wants the court to believe it doesnโ€™t exist once they remove people from the country.

The Trump administration is just continuing what slave owners, prisons, and the state have been doing for centuries. They are just moving people outside of the country to limit what our justice system can do to protect people who are being kidnapped without due process.

People keep talking about how people being kidnapped and disappeared is what happened during the holocaust. This is what happened during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Donโ€™t forget that kidnapping people into slavery has been happening since the 15th Century.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The weight loss ads are killing me too. They keep talking about being scientific and then promote non-regulated supplements.

Itโ€™s nice that @meidastouch.com is surpassing Joe Rogan but the only people Iโ€™ve see on their network are white guys. Whatโ€™s the point if youโ€™re just a leftest white supremest misogynist? Do they not know anyone other than white men?

It occurred to me recently that what lockdown we did have was the first time most Americans had seen the state say no to businesses, and it made them lose their minds

Whatโ€™s the Matter with Abundance? | Malcolm Harris โ€œAbundanceโ€ by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson is new packaging for a tried-and-failed attempt to escape from history on a rocket ship.

"The only way to guarantee real housing abundance is deep public support, adding state capacity to build+maintain a home for everyone. Something analogous goes for health care+food clean air+water parks schools transit news universities science museums+worthwhile art"

A page of text describing fascism, highlighting sentences about fascism organizing proletarian masses, denying them rights, and providing a chance to express themselves, while discussing property rights and aesthetics in political life.

A page of text describing fascism, highlighting sentences about fascism organizing proletarian masses, denying them rights, and providing a chance to express themselves, while discussing property rights and aesthetics in political life.

Walter Benjamin writing about fascism in 1936

"Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves."

Supporting Dr. Steven Thrasher March 20, 2025 We are appalled by Northwestern Universityโ€™s denial of tenure to Dr. Steven Thrasher and call upon Dean Charles F. Whitaker of the Medill School of Journalism to reconsider his decision...

Here's a letter you can sign to oppose the denial of tenure, already signed by some of the writers, thinkers, professors and activists I respect the most in the world forms.gle/Rn9Rmq5fQUhq...

That Dr. Thrasher has operated as a constant and consistent citizen of the functions and curriculum of the
Medill School of Journalism while expanding his research portfolio and publications is evident in the
provided portfolio. Dr. Thrasher has a national profile as a sociologist rooted in innovating research
methods to better apprehend and convey historical and contemporary trends in racial inequity. Simply put,
Dr. Thrasher is an intellectual virtuoso with a voluminous portfolio warranting promotion to tenure
Associate Professor. I would happily answer any questions that may arise as this file moves forward.

One blessing in this process has been consistently being affirmed. One of the external tenure reviewers, Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, shared his evaluation of my case and gave me permission to share it. His assessment was ignored. You can read the letter here drive.google.com/file/d/11fm2...

They removed the portal to recertify income based repayment plans so people wonโ€™t be able to keep low payments. The GOP is helping the working class organize the class war far better than we could have expected.

Trump referring to federal student loans as part of โ€œAmericaโ€™s portfolioโ€ tells you all you need to know about the hell thatโ€™s coming for us. Iโ€™m fully team donโ€™t pay. What loans? I donโ€™t acknowledge loans. Iโ€™m forgiving the loans myself.

Elon Musk, โ€œAmericans are parasites and empathy is the worst thing to have in the world.โ€ Actively works to cut social security benefits to the elderly, disabled people, and children who have lost a parent
