In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com are you going to write about the president of the United States posting a clip of himself literally dumping shit on Americans, or is it nbd?

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

i have said this before but i think that ones view of the current political situation is fundamentally shaped by how you view the outcome of the 2024 election. was it a definitive affirmation of the MAGA worldview or a narrow, extremely contingent result?

Goebbles or Miller?

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

This is not a coding error.

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales.

This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide.

We are doing this and history will never forgive us.

"Reich citizenship will not be laid in the cradle of every one born in Germany, but will be ceremoniously conferred on him after he has shown himself worthy of it through special accomplishments, through loyal services to the State." NY Times, July 6, 1933.

This is cruelty to kids.

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

The Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Ruling Is a Five-Alarm Catastrophe In Trump v. CASA, the court hands the president yet more unaccountable authority—and yanks us into a neo-Confederate legal nightmare.

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

This. Is. Insane.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.

What the hell are we doing?

The Roberts Court exists to give legal cover to bigots The majority decision in US v. Skrmetti is the latest example.

"Roberts wrote the majority opinion in Skrmetti, a low quality mix of medical misinformation and legal conclusions that are equal parts tortured and dishonest. This isn't new, however. These are the usual rhetorical tricks of the Roberts Court."

Supreme Court allows Trump to remove migrants to South Sudan and other turmoil-filled countries | CNN Politics The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Donald Trump’s emergency request to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their homeland, including places like South Sudan, with minimal noti...

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants to countries they have never lived in, including places where they will likely be tortured.

“I cannot join so gross an abuse of this Court’s equitable discretion,” writes Justice Sotomayor in a blistering dissent.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.
