it's cool how every media company's response to workers unionizing their highly successful publication now seems to be folding said publication and laying everyone off. it's giving real Cashing Out at the Casino vibes

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

Time to bust out my Pestering Everyone About How Useful Masks Are era again? The Trump admin hates those for reasons of surveillance and wanting the masses to die.

It's inherent in their ideology, & it is no coincidence that internationally incidences of mortal violence caused by militant antifas over the decades are negligible, while the far right has tallied 100s of deaths. You need to treat your safety in that encounter in accordance w/ that understanding.

to minimize the role of luck and create the best possible odds for ourselves and those around us.
The principle consideration here, the one to always keep in mind and from which all else flows: Every fascist and Nazi you encounter is a potential murderer.

Itโ€™s not just that people are getting overly attached to them, they're aiming at those customers. They want power users who become so lazy they canโ€™t perform basic functions without asking AI.

What would consolidating power look like, compared to what theyโ€™ve already done? Folks already get dragged from their homes on a political whim and never return, we already have the worldโ€™s craziest surveillance state, and they can absolutely fuck with the next election.

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. Theyโ€™re not seeking facts, theyโ€™re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry.

Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadershipโ€™s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

A NYT video asking "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?"

And can conservative feminism fix it?

A NYT video asking "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?" And can conservative feminism fix it?

Y'all are really pushing all of the Black journalists out of the industry, so that you can ask trash questions like this?

Embarrassing.

Some questions are harmful in and of themselves. It doesn't matter what's said in the debate, or who "wins."

Pretending that this is not trash, is weakness.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Thereโ€™s a near-zero chance that elections alone will ever topple capitalism but this specific win directly benefits revolutionary organizing. People are less afraid to call themselves socialists, theyโ€™ll read and think more, and communist organizing may lose its overwhelming stigma in our lifetimes.

One massive, long-term cultural victory of tonight is that โ€œ*socialist* wins NYC mayorshipโ€ was just blasted to Americansโ€™ phones en masse by (at least) WaPo and USA Today.

โ€œSocialistโ€ and โ€œcommunistโ€ have been unsalvageably dirty words in American politics for a hundred years!

Safeguard your schools. Train your own security teams. Organize your own grassroots campaigns. This is serious and it's time you learn from your scrappier cousins.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

they're treating a Nazi takeover of the federal government as no big deal and the possible election of Zohran Mamdani as the end times. it's a remarkable job of failing to meet the moment, and the most revealing sign yet they don't want to do anything at all except cling to party power.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesnโ€™t mean we wonโ€™t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that heโ€™d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
