How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

Growing up poor, I never thought I'd have a set up like this. It may not seem like much to a lot of y'all, but I'm pretty proud of how far I've come in this moment. Just to have the luxury of being able to do something like this.

the idea that these tech guys are opposed to "government waste" is so completely fucking ridiculous. they feast on government waste. DOD budgets are a bloated mess. the pentagon has failed 7 straight audits. the big beneficiaries are tech companies providing defense services.

Gaza cannot survive without UNRWA and the life-saving services it provides. That is why Israel’s attack on the UN agency is an attack on Palestinian existence. https://buff.ly/4gASBkV #Palestine #Israel

I know this is a tired, cliched gripe these days, but if Biden had said something as remotely dumbass there would've been days upon days of stories about how he's too old and feeble to be in office.

an interesting phenomena going on in rightwing spaces is that despite rightwingers controlling the entire government, their base still seems to critique “the government” without including trump or musk or anyone in their orbit, as if they’re completely seperate

it’s insane that rightwingers have created a social and legal ecosystem where if any murder becomes a political issue, the right will ensure they get off free and then immediately pipeline them to the upper echelons of their society, rewarding them as the pawns they are

The first person to put dog crap in a bag and put it on someone's porch and light it in fire to make them step on it was a genius of historical proportions. Their prank idea will live on long after we are all dead and gone. In hundreds, maybe thousands, of years people will still be copying it.

the thing they don't understand about forcibly taking over cultural institutions is that it will not make people love them or their sad excuse for a culture the actual creators will simply take their talents elsewhere and the institutions will crumble behind them

i asked an art elder for reassurance recently, i said “what is the role of the black artist in times of fascism?” he said: “to create a world for us to imagine and calculate through art.” for me, my task remains that simple.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

If you're getting upset over the choice of nonbinary-inclusive language to promote an event run by a trans girl and an obviously trans-supportive organization, you need to take a step back, reevaluate your priorities, and then redirect that energy toward people who actually deserve your ire.
