Being black and aware in America is existing in a constant fugue state of being both unsurprised and endlessly tired.

Say what you will about kings but they used to die in hilariously gory ways. We haven't seen a proper traditional slapstick death in a long time, it's mostly boring old age instead of getting stabbed by an assassin hiding in the toilet while taking a shit and not being noticed til they began to rot

Fearless and independent investigative journalism is needed more than ever in these times. Attempts to suppress this story on Trump and the KGB demonstrate this ⬇️ To help fund the stories you won't read in the established press, and to keep honesty alive, subscribe: subscribe.bylinetimes.com

There’s all this handwringing about what he does and does not have the power to do, and it keeps ignoring the fact that the lengths of executive powers are endless if nobody is willing to enforce their limits. Smfh. www.brookings.edu/articles/doe...

Reminder that getting rid of the social contract is also getting rid of the "we promise not to slay the rich by the thousands for their stuff" bits, so they really may wanna think this push for feudalism.

Imagine a bog- standard sword-and-sorcery story in a world where men were responsible for original sin and so women are in charge of most things, and write in excruciating detail about what every single person in like 20 different countries with unique cultures is doing there over a 3 year period.

Google has been fucking YouTube on Firefox hard, malicious de-optimization. On chromium, they are warning that ublock origin will be deprecated, and directing people toward ublock lite, which has carveouts to prevent blocking google's stuff.

Weird its almost like some of us on the academic and research side were right the entire time. Really bums me out how people just couldn't and wouldn't see what has always been right in front of them.

Transphobia requires a constant flow of hate, billions of dollars, and countless laws in order to sustain itself. All trans people have to do is keep living. This is why transphobia will never win.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

This is so many words to say Trump fired the chairman of the joint chiefs because he’s black www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

so like the "rural trump voters still deserve mail service" thing goes hand in hand with "don't misgender people even if they're assholes" and "the unhoused guy who street harassed you still deserves housing" and "your cousin who stole 5k from his parents still deserves affordable psych meds" etc
