It's been weird since I first moved here but it has definitely gotten increasingly weirder

Weird times to be living in Ontario, Canada

That “working class” is a transparently race and gender coded term tells you who pundits view as low and middle income workers and what type of work they believe “counts” among this group.

Reality: the working class is predominantly White women and racial minorities in the low wage service sector.

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

I'm generalizing, but why do conservatives remember political irritations for so much longer than liberals?

It's been 17 years since Obama said some voters "cling to their guns, to their religion" and I heard a senator denounce that last month.

Obvious theory: Media ecosystem puts it on repeat

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

If I was told I couldn’t do a job Meghan McCain did I think I’d become a monk

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

More than anything, they want to be patted on the head and told they're a good boy by the liberal elites

Brendan Carr is limiting free speech the right way.

I used to work for the Siren and the thought that this would ever be adopted…ain’t this the woke blue hair and pronouns barista coffee chain they all hate??

His “iconic” order is an abbreviated sick tea which was on the secret menu for years before Starbucks adopted (and renamed it) onto the official menu. Dude couldn’t even get the order right

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Like you’d think at the very least it’d be someone who folks who aren’t Very Online would know about

They are literally canceling culture

You know things are rough when the AAUP's advice on how to use social media is just "set all your accounts to private."

Don’t sign up for a PROTEST is separate from fundraising and organizing

Elizabeth Holmes and I Talk Business Ethics

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

I know firing people for quoting Kirk maybe isn’t intentionally a dry run for the rewriting of history to come, but it sure feels like it is a dry run for the rewritten history coming at us.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Now why are the Yankees getting involved

Had to make sure to get my tenses right there

“continue his work”? He wanted me and those like me and the ones I love to join him wherever the hell he is now

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

Move accordingly I guess

A lot of people posting like they’re sitting up waiting for the knock
