Am I reading this wrong or does the lede to this article state the opposite of what his paper argued: "he won an award for a paper arguing the Constitution only protects non-whites."

Didn't his paper say the constitution only protects white Americans?

Opinion | We Study Fascism, and We’re Leaving the U.S.

Wow what a courageous decision to leave Yale for professorships in Toronto what exactly are the rest of us supposed to do

American Pope sounds like a Troma film

If you're going to Coachella this weekend remember it's not too late for you to become a person of substance

There are also chats and discords with tons of people all using aliases which means you often don’t really know who you’re talking to and people feel they can say whatever they want and it’s secure. Is this security or we just larping?

The whole point of a march or a protest is taking some level of risk (very little in the case of most marches, which are police-sanctioned and escorted) to make a public-facing political statement.

We should be smart about how we communicate and conduct certain actions, but feels like "security culture" among activists is making us worse at it. Particularly insistence on anonymity when people who are relatively safe are doing public-facing, legal demonstrations.

Annual reminder that sharing false information on the internet is sociopathic behavior

Letterboxd interviews would have me believe that everyone is sitting around watching Goodfellas all the time and I simply do not believe it

A ★★★★★ review of Flow (2024) I haven’t cried this hard since past lives come on with the capybara

This is about mutual aid

If you want this Boston apartment, you’ll have to get past this 22-year-old — and pay him thousands - The Boston Globe Massachusetts lawmakers may put an end to the tenant-paid broker fees — typically equal to one month's rent — often required to sign a lease. We followed one broker as he spent a day earning his keep.

Rental brokers are the dumbest thing ever

It is like Trump help up a piece of paper on day one that said “racism and transphobia are good actually” and every hospital, university, corporation, government agency, and the entire Democratic Party were like welp it says it right there what can we do

NYT write normal challenge

World has serious early March 2020 vibes right now

The EIC ran a letter in response defending the need for "fact-based information" and noting that this data is in the public record, which does not suggest they are going to do any better.

When Journalism Becomes a Weapon: A Call for Ethical Reporting - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly A call from NPQ's editor in chief for ethical reporting and journalism to defend democracy, civil society institutions, and civil rights.

NPQ nails it here. The problem with "the list" at the Chronicle is it gave no context or analysis, and no thought to consequences. Gotta do better than this.

Two poisonous men who both have absolute shit for brains talking about how social security is a scam and they want to fuck robots and what will the robots genitals be like and NYT is like, in a freewheeling and unconventional conversation...

The Times is really going to keep writing like these are serious human beings calling Elon "world-famous and often undisciplined billionaire" it is so embarrassing

They all think that if they confess that they believe in anything they’re violating their little fraternity's oath of objectivity. That entire standard is just made up! It's not real.

Go ahead and do that one-day boycott if you are so moved but please do not give that guy your money. Donate to literally anything else.

"I'm just going to leave this here, do what you want with it" isolates this list of targets from any sense of values, right and wrong, or potential consequences.

This could have been a call on foundations to defend their values, for example, but instead reads like a how-to guide for the trump administration complete with a searchable list (!).

I've always found the Chronicle's ever-neutral, bridging divides stance to be problematic. This strikes me as what happens when a news outlet won't take a stand.

What's worse than complying with fascists? Overcomplying!

There are evidence-based policies that actually work, but Dems and Reps keep doubling down on punishment and incarceration. newrepublic.com/article/1911...

Many of the cruelest policies criminalizing poverty and mutual aid are coming from deep blue cities and states. Must read by @rickpaulas.bsky.social for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/hurt-the-hel...
