In The Subjection of Women, he kind of did?

FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF WITH THIS

Hospitals are sacred places and ICE has should not be allowed in them

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

This. The tolerance of lying in public needs to be zero. Beginning with assholes in the media and their mealy-mouthed both-sidesism.

哲学的公共性（宁波讲座文字整理·上） 2025年7月19日，我在宁波图书馆进行了一场题为“哲学的公共性”的讲座。文字稿计划分为上中下三篇陆续发出，这里是上篇。

I'm old enough to remember when the prevailing argument against affirmative action was that it failed to consider the "real" form of unfairness, which was income disparity

Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants themselves. One by one, American leaders supposedly committed to principles of free speech, due process, democracy, and equality have abandoned those ideals when menaced by the Trump administration. These cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made Trump seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up. Defending democracy requires a collective refusal to acquiesce to lawless behavior from many different sectors of society. All of these powerful people trying to save their own skin have effectively multiplied Trump’s attacks on constitutional government, by enhancing a false sense of inevitability and invincibility.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Democratic special election win makes life even harder for Republicans on Capitol Hill Adelita Grijalva’s victory in Arizona doesn’t just narrow the GOP’s majority in the House, it also makes disclosure of the Epstein files more likely.

Democrats win ANOTHER special election, this time in Arizona. Congratulations to Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva on your win. Lets keep narrowing that majority that keeps johnson speaker.

浙江绍兴，地铁在营运时间结束后一个小时还在开，导致在通道里打扫的清洁员3死1伤。

在不小的城市里，这么大的新闻捂了11天。一点消息都没漏出来。现在中国的调查新闻已经完蛋了。

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Jerome A. Cohen, the eminent scholar of Chinese law. Our condolences to his family and all those who loved him.

He authored many books, most recently the memoir, "Eastward, Westward: A Life in Law."

Monstrous

山东临沂，农妇老公被人打成轻伤二级，法院仅判赔2.5万。农妇骂法官“没良心”，被超顶格罚10万拘留15天（法律上限罚1000）。

农妇家属交了罚款。

引发舆情后，这个超越法律上限100倍的处罚被撤销。这个罚款额估计是法官百度后得到的数据。

该法官此前被评为“沂蒙十佳法官”，“齐鲁最美法官”等。

A first-semester freshman at Auburn -- who has not even experienced one month as a student -- is demanding universities purge faculty members who dared to be critical of the man who created the Professor Watchlist.

Calling college presidents & donors ... as one does their first month in college.

So basically Kimmel made Trump look bad by showing that he was more interested in showing off his ballroom than in Kirk's death and now he's banned

This is going to be a really fun country

"Emma Goldberg By Emma Goldberg Sept. 16, 2025 Daniel Cortes De La Valle had been in immigration detention for more than seven months — sleeping in dirty cells, being mocked by guards for his weight and being denied his epilepsy medication — when, in July 2023, he tried to hang himself. “‘I can’t anymore,’” Mr. Cortes De La Valle, 35, recalls thinking. “‘I don’t want to do this anymore. It’s like a horror movie.’” Officers at the facility, the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Jena, La., soon placed Mr. Cortes De La Valle on suicide watch. This meant solitary confinement, where he fought off biting ants and endured black mold on the wall and feces in his cell, according to a complaint he later filed against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the staff at the detention center. The lights, kept on 24 hours a day, aggravated his seizure condition. In November 2023 he voluntarily accepted deportation to Colombia. In his complaint against ICE officials, he said that he"

the article spells out in grueling detail the whole game:

make ICE detention hell on earth so that people give up and "voluntarily" go back to a country that they may actively fear returning to or even if people have a valid path to staying in this county to remain with their family

Fucking Slave Power government up in here

杭州，2025年9月9日上午九点左右，某拆迁区域，一女子在后山散步。该区域是附近居民种菜、休闲、散步的区域。

这名女子不小心一脚踩到一个扔在地上的塑料壶，踩破陷了进去，塑料壶已经老化，里面的化学液体喷溅出来，又喷到另外一只脚上。女子当场就无法行走，确诊为“氢氟酸中毒”，连送三家医院医治无效身亡。

杭州警方接到报警以后，连夜排查现场，又挖出来两个盛放氢氟酸的塑料壶，正在追查来源中。

ABSTRACT This article redresses the neglect of interregimatic solidarity – solidarity between collective anti-oppression struggles in purportedly antithetical regimes – in transnational feminist scholarship. I argue that authoritarian and demostatist regimatic contexts of oppression give rise to regimatically distinct oppressive kinds, which track their regimatic subjects of oppression respectively, and that this fact significantly increases the risk of interregimatic missolidarization in lieu of interregimatic solidarity. In response, we need to cultivate antiauthoritarian resilience, which is both an epistemic and a moral virtue. Epistemically, it helps us to navigate a world characterized by the dynamics of authoritarian spillover, demostatist sellout, imperial standoff, and capitalist scaleup, to comprehend how regimatic oppressions are interconnected, and to appreciate the practical import of interregimatic solidarity. Morally, antiauthoritarian resilience helps us to discern and discard moral parochialism and cynical moralism, both of which impede the exercise of interregimatic solidarity. I conclude with tentative thoughts on when, for whom, and to what extent interregimatic solidarity is morally obligatory, if its realization depends on cultivating the virtue of antiauthoritarian resilience.

My article, "Interregimatic Solidarity and Antiauthoritarian Resilience", is finally online (and open access) at the International Feminist Journal of Politics! The abstract might read a bit... abstract, but I assure you it's more intuitive than it looks. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

True, and it gets worse. That propaganda has all but buried his actual legacy in the annals of searchable media. It takes serious effort and know-how to use Google, YouTube, TikTok, etc. to find meaningful content about him that’s older than 5 days or so and many unsavory sources have been deleted.

I won't quote-tweet our main character of the day, but if your complaint is that Charlie Kirk's words are being taken out of context, I'd encourage you to skim through the Media Matters tag for his name. They have hundreds of posts about Kirk and most have longer clips that give the full context.

every time I see a notable media person say something odd about the notable person who was killed this week, I remember how working at CJR taught me many white journalists find it easier to sympathize and empathize with right wing individuals than non-white journalists they actually work with

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

anyways, great news! (1/X)

A Twitter post by Conor Friedersdorf, "for those old enough to remember it: how did America get from the assassinations of the late 1960s and the political violence of the early 1970s to the relative calm of the 1980s and 1990s"

one of my earliest memories was hearing the Oklahoma city bombing from miles away

I would not say that Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way when he called last month for the "full military occupation" of American cities with high crime rates until the problem is solved. I wouldn't say he was doing things exactly the right way when he urged Mike Pence to ignore the electoral votes cast for Joe Biden by swing states in January 2021. Nor would I say he was a model practitioner of politics when he applauded Trump's pardon of the January 6 thugs earlier this year, describing them as "hostages" and celebrating their release as "bold action to save people from lawfare tyranny." And I guess I wouldn't say that he was setting a fine political example when he called for a "patriot" to bail out the man who broke into Nancy Pelosi's home and beat her elderly husband with a hammer.
