So Mirriam Webster has announced that 'FRIDGE' is an official word in their dictionary now, and sited me as the concept's creator in the definition. Very cool, and weird at the same time. I got death threats over this, cool for it it to be recognized. www.merriam-webster.com/slang/fridge

It’s really amazing how the modern right has two goals: 1. Minimal obligations to society but that society must defend them from blacks, immigrant, and trans people (and also free highways) 2. Legally fucking a teenager. Like, that’s it. That is literally all they want out of politics.

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

This is clearly supposed to be an attack on Los Angeles County, but I think this is just beautiful and makes LA great. To the extent I feel any sense of patriotism at all, it is precisely because of things like this.

🧵 Several people have raised questions about what I meant by "deservedly so" when referring to the decline of institutional trust. It's a fair question, so I want to explain that, because it sits at the heart of my work on how democracies collapse when their epistemic foundations rot.

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

Sharing this not because I need support (I’m fine), but because we all need to be aware of how bad things are getting, especially for people who are foreign, “look foreign,” and/or have an accent, even in very progressive, very blue places. 🧵

The Swedish MFA seems to be glossing over the fact that this happened in international waters, which undermines their spineless excuse about their Gaza travel advisory

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

My mom is an immigrant from Barbados. We are descendants of enslaved people. My grandma left everything behind on her birthday, not because she wanted to leave Barbados but because her children did not have enough to eat and didn't always have shoes. My grandpa had to beg for money at the big house.

It's time for elected Democrats and Independents to call their Republican colleagues by their true names: cowards and traitors. Get it on the official record.
