hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as legislators and more what they will do as politicians. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

This is why I insist on spelling out as "diversity, equity and inclusion"—instead of DEI being used as some scary, ambiguous acronym the way "CRT" was used. People aren't as easily scared when they hear the actual words it stands for.

Trump's approval ratings suck. If you are a citizen, don't be scared - resist relentlessly. We're the majority. If you are in Congress, this should embolden you to oppose him. If you are a journalist, find your balls with your ethics & start treating him like the deeply unpopular leader that he is.

If Hades is a game that made you feel seen and represented, it's because of the hard work of the people who contributed their talents. Now we have an opportunity to repay that. Please tell Supergiant that you support striking workers.

For those unaware, SAG-AFTRA is entering it's 7th straight month of striking interactive projects for enforceable AI rights. SAG-AFTRA contracts are protected by their legal staff--I can't afford a lawyer without the union. I am only working on projects signed to a SAG-AFTRA INTERIM AGREEMENT.

The first thing a President should do in a disaster is address the loss of lives. Not go on social media and start spouting conspiracy theories.

Lots of reporting suggested that, this time around, Trump and his lawyers would avoid the sloppy legal work that plagued his first administration so they’d fare better in the courts. I see no evidence of that in this round of executive orders. This is poor, slipshod work obviously assisted by AI.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

A crucial read from @truthout.org: "With these choices, corporate media outlets make a rightward societal shift appear inevitable. Movement media’s role is to resist that tendency, and offer an alternative. We have a responsibility to remind people of what we have lost, and what we could still win."

From what I’m seeing among the online types in this category, they feel emboldened now to start throwing up Nazi salutes publicly, so we’ll likely see a lot more of this kind of signaling.

Neighbors are launching fireworks again. Their joy comes at the expense of so many people, I can't help but feel fury welling up about their hate and ignorance about how this impacts others. My queer/trans/LGBTQ+ friends face increased violence and a weaponized system. Meanwhile, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

When the New York Times reports on Rep. Ralph Norman's backroom deal to give Mike Johnson the speakership, will it mention that Norman urged the Trump White House to declare martial law in January 2021 to keep Biden from taking office? Or will it continue its coup amnesia and normalize Norman? 1/2🧵

Felon, sexual abuser, conman, traitor Trump should be in prison for what he did, not being inaugurated. So, the fact that the slippery, tomato-sauce-stained son-of-bitch is whining about flags being flown in memorial of a true public servant like Jimmy Carter is making my blood boil.

As a result of one the slimmest electoral margins in our history, the madman who incited an attack on our Capitol after the last election gets to be sworn in after this one on the steps of the very building he wanted attacked, and he has the f’ng NERVE to cry about half-staff flags for Jimmy Carter?

I've been in a lot of organizer meetings since the election and there's deep exhaustion on every level [physical, emotional, spiritual and importantly intellectual]. The past 10 years have been brutal. This must be factored into every potential response to this upcoming era.
