I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

The Supreme court is really making it clear that those of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism who’ve been saying that rule of law law alone won’t stop fascism we’re always correct and everyone’s screaming at us that we were doomers and conspiracy theorists were just wrong.

During Jim Crow, incarcerated men and children were leased to tar companies in the Everglades as part of convict leasing. They got malaria. It was so bad many tried to escape despite alligators. This is what these people celebrate. Rank Jim Crow shit.

As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

YouTuber Ethan Klein says he is suing a man for copyright infringement because I called him (Ethan Klein) a misogynist—unless I apologize. The only problem is that I did not call him a misogynist. He does not accept. This is one of the most popular podcasters on YouTube!

The fact that this is starting to feel like the ordinary push and pull of politics is the biggest sign that we are much further along in the road towards full fascism than most normies would ever believe.

If people could stop supporting racist/homophobic/transphobic artists and authors, that would be awesome. Like, even if they're not openly those things but donate to organizations that support those things. It's not hard. There's so many artists and authors out there who aren't awful.

Having morals & needing to ask for mutual aid on a social network to keep my network of loved ones, friends, & peers alive is a shitty combination, and it's WEIRD that that's true. Me: "Do good! We can change everything with radical empathy & slight effort!" BSky: "... And I took that personally!"

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

Harvard IS really great at resisting "Cellini & his researchers have identified more than 900 people that had been enslaved by university affiliates...& nearly 500 of their direct living descendants. It wasn’t long after the work began to pick up steam that Cellini started running into trouble."

“Wellness” is eugenics adjacent. It always has been. It’s designed to blame people for being sick, disabled or “different”. To push a narrative that you can “try harder” your way to “normalcy”. It’s a direct pipeline to fascism & white supremacy.
