Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants.

Appeasers.

@sorenbowie.bsky.social Thanks for guest presenting at our employee training today.

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich.

It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of the country controls $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Nate Brought | Maryland I am the Director of the Executive Secretariat at the National Institutes of Health until COB Friday, February 28.

alright, we're gonna kick this series off with a fucking bang. my first story in the DOGE IS FOUR LETTERS series comes from nate brought, director of the executive secretariat at the national institutes of health, and you're going to want to hear what he has to say.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world.

And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

I (Justin) am now officially unemployed. So if you would like a guest on your podcast to talk about libraries, intellectual property, publishing, or anything related to that, feel free to DM or email librarypunkpod at gmail dot com

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

google calendar time block says be stressed about stuff nothing more can be done about 3-4:45pm.

sorry but I am unable to take your call rn I have another appointment

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

I hid smoking weed for decades because it was illegal and socially ostracized compared to alcohol.

If you think I won’t hide the Dora the explorer version of Anne Frank, then you’re a fucking idiot.

Out of the mouth of babes!

Crazy how mad these Christians get when told to act like Christ.

If you are not already, pay attention to increasing attacks on porn even if porn is something you do not care for. The attacks, architected and carried out by zealots, are intended to broaden the classification of "porn" to include all sorts of speech determined "subversive" by zealots. This is what has drawn me to this community and fight. I'm not a porn super fan. "Obscenity" is long where this battle has been fought and sex workers are on the front lines of that fight. *Their* free speech battle is one you benefit from, fellow artists.

Don't get me wrong! I don't mean to distance myself from love and appreciation for smut, subversive art, literature, trash and more. I am a true fan of all of the above (in no small part because I also know and appreciate its role in the history of this struggle). But one should not feel they have to be a fan to appreciate what this fight means for the freedom of speech (especially speech including queer and feminist perspectives, which have often been grouped together as "subversive" and "dangerous" texts in the name of state censorship).

Pay attention to the newly accelerated war on porn.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

This is too good

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

I love the Cornetto trilogy!
