Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

A US Senator was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents, and then the DHS Secretary went on to say that they are taking control from the "socialist" local government. That is fascist, there is no other proper word for it than that. No euphemisms are necessary or warranted.

I had a realization last night that when people say “You couldn’t make Blazing Saddles today,” what they actually mean is, “You can’t talk in real life like the white people do in the fictional movie Blazing Saddles…today.”

I DO think that a lot of these preening anti-Bluesky thinkpieces can be boiled down to people who generally AREN’T in a class of people who are targeted w/slurs not understanding that those of us who ARE in such a class were BOMBARDED w/them on twitter & that ALONE makes it the inferior platform.

Wait so okay…OBVIOUSLY Dakota Johnson is an icon for “That’s not true, Ellen,” but I’ve never seen anyone be so dryly, effortlessly funny on a press tour before? Not even HER on previous tours? What is happening? Pop culture girlies please help.

It is truly SO wild to have article after article about how Bluesky “feels” or “seems” as though they are definitive studies based on robust data and sound social theory rather than just, “vibes as perceived by some of the most rancid people on the internet.”

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Oh THIS is what people are Discoursing about? You know she’s like…aware of her performance hyperfemininity & usually being pretty tongue in cheek about it, right? Like if this is unironic fine, but my guess is there’s a satirical aspect to the album themes/lyrics/etc that this is framing itself w/in

100% the plan here is to INCREASE workloads with AI as the excuse. "Surely you can handle twice as many classes with twice as many students in each now that AI saves you time on grading and syllabus planning." www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

More than anything, I think this speaks to the impoverished view of the role of government. The idea of organizing collective support and aid to solve overwhelming problems is reclassified as akin to some sort of dealer-addict relationship.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Miller has been successful at evading Trump’s jealousy and wrath all these years mostly because he doesn’t demand as much personal attention as guys like Bannon or Musk. I wonder if that will remain true as his aims become more & more central to the Trump agenda. Will he crave more public credit?🤞🤞🤞

Seeing all the Smart People rush to scold us and say these massive civil rights protests are a bad idea, because the 2020 protests helped Trump. Anyways I wonder who won the election that year

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.
