as weird as it was watching #blacklivesmatter snowball into brands claiming radical anti-racism and white members of congress solemnly donning kente cloths, watching the backlash snowball the other way into “we specifically do not recognize juneteenth and also fuck inclusion” is, uh,,

Any action that dehumanizes entire categories of people isn’t a distraction from the fascism. It’s the fascism.

There’s a thing going around about how the animation industry is in bad shape and it’s BEEN there. Lot of us that weren’t getting work way back were telling you to look out and it got brushed off as whining becuase you HAD work. Things needed to change then, things need to change now.

It's wild the number of people willing to embrace the world's worst people when it's convenient for their particular narrative. Tucker Carlson is a far-right propagandist and conspiracy theorist. If he says anything sensible, it's almost certainly for the wrong reasons. Don't loan him credibility.

TIRED: Hoping he'll die in a jail cell after watching his allies abandon him and his business empire crumble. WIRED: Settling for an accidental death as long as it is public and incredibly humiliating, because there is no other justice possible for the wealthy and powerful.

With every headline it becomes more clear: Dark times are getting darker. Wherever you can, lean into the good things. Focus on the helpers and helping. Do what you can. Do away with what you can't. Take breaks. Hydrate. Sleep. Revel in joy. Seek out light and torchbearers. Fight. Repeat.

The toddler’s birthday was a flop. He made a fool of himself at the G7. Millions of people showed how much they despise him. Now he will take us to war to appease his malignant narcissism. I am tired of being subjected to his narcissistic whims.

It's hard not to think that any org that is distancing themselves from racial justice language right now, is merely doing what they really wanted to do all along. Claiming to be "data driven" is an accepted way of saying you're not moved by any sort of moral compass or hardwired ethical vision.

Los Angeles has ~3,400 unhoused veterans- the most in the country. The number of active troops deployed to LA now exceeds that. Those troops are all being housed and sheltered in the city with your tax dollars, while the veterans' very existence on the street has been criminalized by city ordinance

ICE doesn't have the legal authority to arrest U.S. citizens. No warrant. No identification. But the law isn't worth the paper its printed on if nobody enforces it. We are no longer living in a democracy when a Gestapo-like secret police can operate without impunity.

The TL;DR on Whiskey Pete's testimony before SASC: He admitted he was switching the names of bases back to honor traitors. Markwayne Mullin basically said the invasion of CA is revenge for integration. Whiskey Pete defended promoting an antisemite to be DOD spox.

Call me a cynic but I bet I’m not the only one thinking that any attack right now on US assets will come from themselves just so they can use it as a pretext to go to war. Foxtrot Delta Tango.
