Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

Leftists need to learn the difference between “stop infighting” and marginalized people telling them “this behavior I experience from your camp is harmful and I need it to stop to work with you effectively.” If it’s more offensive to you to be called out as a movement than that the harm exists-

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

I said it early because I recognized the potential, #TeslaTakeDown pickets are what started to give regular people a way to take direct action after the inauguration. And those pickets have made a difference. If you can join the pickets in your area, you should.

More people should pause before lashing out at folks who share their hatred of this administration and ask themselves, "Am I using this person as a punching bag because I don't know how to strike back at the people responsible for all of the kidnappings, killings, deportations, and destruction?"

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

Civil-rights lawyer here. In my business, this is called prima facie evidence of invidious race & gender discrimination. And the other chiefs—all white men—are comparators. The evidence in support of the discrimination claim includes Trump‘s own “DEI” statements admitting to discriminatory motive.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame. But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South. We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people. Where do yall think Germany learned from?

Ida explained to you all that lynching was in fact about class. White people [poor AND wealthy] disproportionately went after Black people who they perceived to be 'upwardly mobile' to make an example of them. To specifically show that no Black person would be safe. Some people need to read books.
