Muslims are openly targeted by politicians.
Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI.
Trans & queer people are being outlawed.
We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.
Trump's health is obviously deteriorating and his appearance along with it.
That's a tantalizingly easy visual metaphor to latch on to.
But at time of weaponized eugenics I really wish folks who otherwise claim liberatory values would know not to reinforce the equation of health with character.
“Fund the police” was Biden’s *applause* line in his first joint address to Congress. It was written to echo LBJ saying “we shall overcome” in his joint address as a lifeline to a movement under attack. I really don’t bring it up enough.
Also, the pitch to men here is "your jobs will be more boring and you'll get paid less, but at least the bitches will be put in their place."

Legislators have proposed yet another bill that would undermine the purpose of libraries statewide, and it would not only eschew the Miller Test, it'd create TWO CLASSES of access.
OpenAI helped a teen plan a mass shooting at a Canadian high school.
The conversations were flagged and reviewed by staff, but upper management declined to involve law enforcement.
Multiple children lost their lives because the company chose profit over people.
The protests worked. They won the right to rape.
every jew in the world could be gone and the rich would still exploit the poor and you'd have to invent us as an explanation
I don't find the original Dunning-Kruger paper all that compelling but I think it has legs bc certain thinking skills are so internal that some people end up being really embarrassing by mistaking the outside performance for the actual thinking
I'd forgotten the details on this story:
"Yates eventually admitted he had been bitten while trying to separate Ming from a new housecat named Shadow."
"To everyone’s astonishment, officers also discovered Al, a five-and-a-half-foot alligator, living in another bedroom."
The guy worked for Blackwater after his military career and posted a list of wars he wished he had fought in, all while having a Nazi tattoo on his chest. What are we doing here.

Chotiner: I have read different things.
If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
