the tech right suddenly discovers due process

once again I must tap my own sign

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Too many Christians are transforming Christianity into a vertical faith, one that focuses on your personal relationship with God at the expense of the horizontal relationship you have with your neighbors,” writes our columnist David French.

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Yeah really feelin like the spat between the narcissists is a contrived distraction & it's creepin me tf out.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Just gonna leave this here...

As with the Patriot Act in the US, Carney is justifying the erosion of rights and the creation of a surveillance state by insisting on a need for greater safety. But this is even more preposterous than the Patriot Act because there is literally no crisis of safety to speak of.

This is one of the most ghoulish things I’ve ever fucking read. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This order doesn't just ban trans people from the military. It states that this administration believes trans people lack "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" and that being trans "is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member."

For those of you looking to support, care for, heal and bolster your communities, US Military Field Guides are an invaluable, free resource for all sorts of community needs. Don't re-invent the wheel. You'll be amazed how much practical info exists here. archive.org/details/mili...

Breaking news: The Supreme Court sided with a straight woman who claimed she faced bias in the workplace after she was passed over for positions that went to gay colleagues. The decision will make it easier for members of majority groups to prove job discrimination claims.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Tesla is a huge stock scam with a tiny electric car company attached.

When I read people say PDF versions of TTRPGs should be free or only $5 because "you don't have to pay for paper or ink, so there's no cost," what they are saying is, they don't think they should have to compensate writers, artists, layout people, graphic designers, etc for their work.

This article states 500 children have been “taken into custody” since January. Where are they? Why are people silent? No one should be dealing with this, but CHILDREN. Come the fuck on.

"They're breaking the law." "What law?" "You know, vibes and shit."

Great thread. TLDR or for English-lang folks: stonemasons in 15th c Rouen worked on average 44hrs a week; 75% of weeks were not comprised of the assumed norm of 5.5 days work per work (Sat was 1/2 day on full pay), bc of religious holidays and feasts. Loads more here, but these jumped out to me!🪨

The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin’s call for a monarch to rule America once seemed like a joke. Not anymore.

Propublica deserves everything good for this one

Babe wake up we're going to be late to our doomed repetitive tasks

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

How the tech capitalists treat us like saloon sex robots. I’ve made the connection, now I can’t unsee it. joelmorris.substack.com/p/are-we-the...

Great post for thinking about a lot of the cultural chaos we're living through

"We can do less" the centrists bravely chanted

Yikes

So fun reading people arguing about school reopenings when those exact arguments were what forced my library open and got me stuck with long COVID. Probably forever. The harm is not hypothetical! My life was seriously derailed, definitely permanently changed. Multiply me by 400 million.

Yes. A major tic of reactionary centrists is refusing to own up for their own beliefs and *make their case with evidence.* Instead they hide behind public polling and messaging arguments about how Americans agree with them.

Xavier Beccera, HHS secretary in the pre-madness era before RFKJ, has broken his silence. 👇

Btw, Kat was warning everybody about rightwing Dem donors calling LGBTQ and non-white Americans "The Groups" — and using that term to start throwing marginalized people under the bus — THREE (3!) months ago! This was before she was running. It is crazy how prescient this is.

Hey NYC Mayoral candidates: COVID is still around causing chronic illness and death. It’s ridiculous to brag about how you handled COVID (especially since NY handled COVID poorly at the start of the pandemic), if you have no plans to address the ongoing harm that COVID continues to cause.

I am getting tired of saying this but I keep sporadically hearing from people things like your life has no substantively changed since trump retook power, bitch yes it has I have a conscience and I wake up mad every day fuck You lol.
