Oh, ok then. Bye everyone, fuck this place.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.

Screenshot of text on butter-colored Semafor background: This predates the social media wars of the late 2010s: One Trump appointee told me that a radicalizing experience was being booted out of the [italics] Gawker comments section [roman], way back in the day. But as progressive

One takeaway for Canadians watching what’s happening in the United States right now is that we need to put more pressure on governments / parties to strengthen democratic institutions and the fourth estate

You can also defend democracy by supporting the work of journalists and civil society groups

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of staying the District Court’s order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.

Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

Surround yourself with the kind of people who are proud to have a library card.

Practice session using a crappy external speaker and some internal feedback. Very cool and unexpected sounds, sometimes you just need to step out of your comfort zone 🙂

Great week for people who are like once I saw a black person, therefore it’s time for martial law
