White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

I can’t wait to never give $ to centrist Dems again. This strategy has failed for years. Wake up.

This is how the right wing owns the narrative—facts are buried or inaccessible due to flooding us with constant shit. And the billionaire owned national media capitulates.

So why did the Vichy Democrats vote for the resolution to honor Kirk’s “life, leadership, and legacy”?

It’s like honoring a member of the KKK. He said the exact same things.

Like the Trump regime, maybe news outlets want to hire morally bankrupt people for a reason?

This is absolute madness when ABC News airs Republican lies time after time without correction.

I’m concerned that it’s all a big con. Because the details get missed. They are lionizing him for their own purposes — and most people just listening to a few minutes of TV sound bites don’t get the full story.

Um.

From 2016 via Boston.com: The Environmental League of Massachusetts is re-releasing a bumper sticker used 44 years ago when Richard Nixon won the presidential election and Massachusetts was the only state whose electoral votes backed Democratic opponent George McGovern, reports State House News Service. The bumper sticker says, “Don’t blame me, I’m from Massachusetts.”

Red Massachusetts has never been, and will never be, a thing. 😆

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

He had me at habibi.

I like Powecom and EvolveTogether KN95 masks.

Also, I just got Covid for the first time, from my parents getting it while in rehab centers. Be careful.

Eight Northeast States Eye End Run Around CDC Vaccine Recommendations - Science, Public Health Policy and the Law By Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

My understanding is that it’s temporary because some states are tied (right now) to CDC guidelines. RFK Jr canceled the June meeting by firing everyone, and states are waiting for Sept 13 meeting.

Northeast states are actively trying to work around it.

Gov. Healey is from Massachusetts. NH has gone rogue *against* vaccines unlike the rest of the northeast.

It is a smoke screen. Harris (and Walz especially) did not use this language. They were plain spoken and look at the result.

The true problems we have are racial, gender, and other exclusionary concepts driving GOP hatred, and success in capturing a majority of white voters.

Oh that looks like a good rec, I’ll try that. Journee, Taren, and Rafe is a great cast.

Yes I got covid recently, and abandoned many shows in the beginning. 😅

Yeah, sometimes you have to be in the mood for a certain genre or main character. I also liked Dark Matter and The Last Thing He Told Me.

22??!!!!!!!! What hardy stock you are from!

I don’t! I really loved Lessons in Chemistry. For All Mankind is also one of my fave shows ever. Surface S1 was great, need to watch S2.

Severance, Bad Sisters, Slow Horses, Drops of God, Ted Lasso.

The 1619 Project beautifully expressed how the ideals of America are still worth fighting for despite us never having achieved it.

Indeed it has always been the USA for the interred Japanese, slaves, native people etc…

Newsom and Buttigieg cancelled themselves by throwing trans people under the bus.

We need full throated opposition of fascism to heal our nation from the current crisis and create a truly equal and just society.

Zohran is providing a model for the generation of leaders we need now.

And Hillary helped his PR immensely with the absurd post about nominating him for a Nobel peace prize. With friends like that….. 🙄

@arrianna-planey.bsky.social As a long time book reader, I was lucky to have a little corner of the fandom to talk rationally and intelligently about the problematic elements of that show (and the books). It was quite painful in public for sure.
