The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Why does this matter. One, because I hope it actually helps more of us find solidarity with other workers. I'm still really pissed that the movement to unionize tech workers was mostly ineffectual. Because we didn't actually feel enough pain at that time. It didn't feel necessary. But here we are.

All I'm saying here is that there's a strong air from white collar people like we're not supposed to be disrupted. That's for blue collar folks. But we're not special. We never have been. Just lucky. And eventually your luck runs out. Capitalism comes for everybody eventually.

Philosophers theorize the personhood of Othered people before that of sycophant slop machines challenge- a daily failure.

Which is perfect for my morning latte.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

I'm about to arrive at the Dilley detention center in Texas. Diana Crespo is a second grader. She should be in school right now, not a prison in Texas. I will let you know what I see.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

"My daughter is only 6 years old. She should not know chains or handcuffs or the terror of her family being torn apart. She should never have been...locked in a detention facility for 2 months. She should be in school in the US, playing with her friends and receiving the medical care she needs."

Bless you!

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

I don’t understand why academics are not all in zero-tolerance mode against the men (all men) among us who so willingly indulged or even participated in Epstein’s crimes and abuses.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

No media outside of Kansas has picked up on the fact that the state just enacted a de facto public ban and papers-please act against trans people, and they won't, because trans people are only newsworthy if it furthers our dehumanization.

I love this unimpressed queen.

Hitler, Jews, and the Holocaust Hitler blamed Jews for Germany’s problems. Over the years, the Nazis targeted Jews with increasingly evil treatment, leading to the "Final Solution" — mass extermination. We visit the Auschwitz-Birken...

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.

People need to learn how to take a win and then go look for another win! The difference between having zero leverage and having some leverage is big.

Or for young white men who commit rape. Endless empathy for the accused.

Empathy robs you of that problem.

Oh, I love a likert scale for subjective experience.

Does he need a bff? My dog loves to bark from the window at other dogs when my toddler is napping.

A thing that I find continually irksome in my industry are the mysterious trend of 'journalist who lacks any curiosity'. Honestly *what* are they in the trade for, the job insecurity and looming obsolescence?

My standard response is "tell me, in specific detail, how exactly I'll be 'left behind,'" and to date not a single techbro has ever answered the question. "You'll be left behind" is a statement of religious faith, not business fact, and should be treated as such.
