The thing the right-wing took away from non-prosecution of W-era torture wasn't that they were fortunate that Obama was willing to look forward, it was that installing John Yoo's to write memos saying "[illegal thing] is actually legal" is a cheat code to rewrite the laws however you want

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Embarrassing how 3 out of 4 of these asshats were heavily involved in or influenced by gaming at some point in their political careers.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

I remember someone told me, during Dubya's first term, that all Dems had to do was to keep their heads down and let the GOP keep getting crazier, and eventually all of the soccer moms will vote for Democrats because the the GOP went "too far." Things do not appear to have worked out that way.

Swear to god we need a program that talks to classrooms about alt-right rabbit holes and isolating communities. Inoculate their minds by giving them a heads up on some common yet obscure supremacist language/symbols. Tell them about neo-Nazis early and paint them as dumb and pathetic.

In 2013, Rochester police arrested Anthony Miller after receiving a report of a Black man in a hooded sweatshirt committing robbery. Court records suggest officers detained him simply for being the first Black man wearing a hoodie they found.

The wild part of corporate entities ending DEI efforts is that they were literally bare minimum efforts for the most part. Inequities didn’t disappear. It wasn’t ground breaking and transforming society. But we can’t even have bare minimum.

It's going to be a long four years, especially if we make ourselves insane misreading budget documents. This is a story where multiple things are true at the same time and it's a warning about how we consume information going forward gizmodo.com/the-400-mill...
