The threat of having to submit your ID to speak online is chilling, especially as we’re watching ideological capture and capitulation play out across traditional media and institutions. And it’s particularly gutting that sex workers and digital rights activists have been sounding alarms for years

It doesn’t even matter if people on the left are freaking out about one thing or another too much. The right is putting people in concentration camps and withholding HIV medication from children

I love that the news framing of climate change, which is killing people en masse and will decimate all of our lives, is still “some people think we should acknowledge this, while others don’t”

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

one question remains: who kills Carrie in the final episode?

Crying at @kadyruth.bsky.social's reaction to the AJLT news

they finally made a good episode and now the show is canceled. devastating

this episode was actually....good....

Reproductive Coercion Is State Abuse, Argues Kylie Cheung "Pregnancy has increasingly become a weapon to be wielded against domestic violence victims—and those who help them."

fuck it, i'm buying the American Eagle jeans. these better make me look like Sydney Sweeney

It's not radical to state that police and prisons endanger DV victims' lives-- it's just a statement of fact

I thought this was also important to note re: right-wing hysteria about Mamdani's crime positions: Politicians like him are forced onto the defensive, pressured to scale back this or that to seem "reasonable." But in reality, fascists will smear anything even a hair short of fascism as "radical"

Violence deconstructed: Hysteria over Zohran Mamdani’s crime platform rooted in lie that cops make women safer Mamdani’s critics have launched a smear campaign that ignores that police pose an existential threat to victims—and all of us

"The right has long attacked Mamdani's positions on crime, but more recently these attacks have taken on a more desperate dimension, invoking DV victims... In reality it’s hard to identify any group who poses a greater danger to abuse victims than police."

Israel’s new measures do nothing to stop the starvation crisis in Gaza, say aid workers Humanitarian workers say airdrops and corridors to allow trucks into region have done little to stop the rising death toll

Aid groups report that Israel is refusing to allow any olives or other “fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted” into Gaza. They will only allow in pitted olives.

Everything about our society is so maliciously stupid

let gaza live

NYT Condemned for Clarifying Starving Palestinian Child's 'Preexisting Health Condition' | Common Dreams The U.S. media coverage of the impact of Israel's blockade on Gaza has sparked controversy. Israeli officials focused on one child's health condition to downplay reports of starvation.

"If a publication ran an editors' note to 'clarify' that some portion of Nazi death camp victims had preexisting conditions, it would rightfully be accused of Holocaust denialism."

There has been a lot of "discourse" over how to respond when someone "joins your side" on an issue like Gaza.

It's not really about who was right first, it's about demonstrating a long-term commitment. @taylorlorenz.bsky.social and I discuss:

Zohran Mamdani scores 17-point lead with Jewish voters in NYC mayoral race Mamdani's support among Jewish voters comes after accusations from opponents and some community leaders that his criticism of Israel represents antisemitism.

it’s almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the “scary muslim” button
