At the "suffering unique to the privileged" store Ask if it's really unique to the privileged, or a society-wide problem you only care about when it hurts a privileged person "It's legitimate suffering sir" Check the suffering It's society-wide

I did not ask for compassion for Talia because she has a special exception, e.g. her trauma. She needs no special exception to merit compassion. That's my point. An environment that values compassion is strongly protective of marginalized people and that is what I aim to foster.

George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

a silly crime drama about the yakuza published by SEGA had this + the main character fully understanding and basically saying "you do you girl, love is love" AND WAS MADE IN 2009 Transphobia in 2025 is very much a modern invention of bigots and billionaires. It isn't normal & it will get better.

informative

"I hate you" is basic. "I hope your favourite game gets praised by Grummz on Twitter" is horrifying, it's possible

please call this what it is, which is government-sanctioned abuse, rape and murder

This is a direct reference to the Proud Boys who use the gold wreath FAFO logo. I fully believe Elon is going to utilize vigilante violence to enforce things. You should take this seriously.

He is so stunningly, uniquely terrible at posting that it immediately stands out even in an offline context like this. The absolute worst to ever do it. In a category by himself. Singularly anti-talented in a way we will talk about for decades if not centuries. The Wayne Gretzky of bad posting.

It was kind of hard for this to break through the unified media chorus heralding Musk as the savior of mankind (this is not a joke)

I'm no scholar of history, but I paid attention in college and can tell you this man will be fortunate to die in a prison cell

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

Democrats should never have stopped calling these guys weird couchfuckers

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

coming this holiday season

A king sending his troops to quell unruly Bostonians is a decision that always works out great for the king, historically speaking.

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

Apparently, entire agencies are having their emails go to spam because the opm email list is using private servers.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

elon musk might be one of the most paranoid weirdos out there

If you’re not trans and you believe believe yourself to be a progressive ally type of person I highly recommend you read up on a prison practice called “v-coding” because with any luck it will make you physically ill and shock you to the point of action

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

"Is Pepsi okay?" No, actually

Opinion | Je Suis Big Balls by Ross Douthat

This is just pure unadulterated insanity. None should respond to this nonsense.

forcing public sector service staff to file work logs like a remote programmer should get you the guillotine

Don't be gaslit: They are Nazis. This is a Nazi salute. They are not hiding it, or dog whistling, they are announcing it. They have come out as Nazis. Show the people in your life these images all together. Make them understand this is not an accident, or a fluke. It is happening here.

Don't be modest, @nytimes.com, @theatlantic.com, @theguardian.com. Take a bow. What a beautiful atrocity you've built.

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

ahahaha fucking hell

Doing this while your child's mother is frantically trying to get in touch with you

What major national newspaper has the stones to commission an oped piece by a trans people asking if any of our passports are safe? Those get lost or damaged all the time. Who is to say you have to wait 10 years between renewals? I certainly have never in my life.

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Reminder

we need a new slur to describe the bizarre combination of traits exhibited by elon musk. traditional insults are simply not enough

Got my coffee this morning from a rural nb with a set of amazing pins and a rad Melanie Martinez shirt. We out here. Don't ever let anyone tell you the rural South is all white and conservative

I literally reported this Wednesday.
