thanks to high speed internet and the near universal acceptance of the Second Screen Experience, your parents can now watch at least 48 hours of cable news every day, enabling them to become less informed about current events than some of the more perceptive dogs

I'm thankful that the people trying to ruin civilization are, as a silver lining, at least completely incompetent, so repeatedly and loudly directly announce what they're trying to do, because while it's all very frustrating, they'd win a lot easier if their strategy was better than a child would do

Everyone who says that advocating for rights creates opposition to those rights is revealing themselves as a reactionary and we should loudly point out their hypocrisy and then ignore everything they say on the issue

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”

There are many Holy Shit moments in this piece, but I keep getting stuck on the juxtaposition of the white supremacist law student who won an award for a paper about why non-white people should be stripped of their rights, and the student who was stripped of a job for criticizing that student.

Microsoft released a new terminal text editor! It's called Microsoft Edit, it's open source, it's tiny (about 250KB Rust binary) and it works cross-platform. They built it for Windows 11 - I've been trying it out on my Mac and it's a nice alternative […] [Original post on fedi.simonwillison.net]

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

It's an easy cop-out to think trans people are responsible for our own oppression, because if that was the case, it's something we could have control over and remedy. It's a lot harder to reckon with the reality that a coalition of right wing groups are spending extraordinary money opposing us.

A different but somewhat parallel example: in Albuquerque, there was a statue of the conquistafor Don Oñate in Old Town until 2020. Oñate's subjugation of the Acoma pueblo was so violent that the Crown banned him from returning to New Mexico. Or, as Sister Catherine puts it,

It strikes me that if we had swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming Wall Street chasing down tax cheats and white collar criminals, many Americans would respond differently than they are to swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming the streets of LA chasing down brown people.

probably going to regret asking, but is there even a plausible theory* under which the US could militarily engage Iran absent congressional consent, either domestically or internationally, or are we really now fully in the vacuum of the absence of law

A hallmark of conspiracy theories is obsession with cover-ups and "censorship" over actual evidence of their core claims. If kids were being rushed into surgeries, these articles would show it! Instead they are relitigating arcane academic drama about a review not getting published.

the shift came in large part because the centrists and especially the centrist media establishment became enamored with transphobia and waged a long and successful “just asking questions” campaign to erode decades of progress on trans rights

it’s not surprising but still pretty telling and a bummer that AOC is the only member of the NY delegation to great Khalil upon his return. Both Pressley and Markey greeted Öztürk (and she is a constituent of both). Columbia is not even in AOC’s district!

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
