I am announcing a national moratorium on journalists using the word “clash.” They can no longer be trusted with the word. Please let them know. www.opb.org/article/2025...

how this point interacts with the norms of commentary on protests: if it's true that *any* destruction and disruption will attract a disproportionate amount of attention, then fingerwaggers labeling protests and protestors basedon these scenes are in effect demanding blanket, total discipline

"The Feminist Peace Initiative—co-founded by MADRE, Women Cross DMZ, and the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance—came together in 2020 to grapple with the decades-long harms of militarized U.S. policy, and to think strategically together about what transforming that policy would require."

since i'm apparently already feeling angry and vindictive today it feels like a good time to ask where the "don't call Trump fascist" debate has landed, you know, post-secret police

Atrocious. These ghouls need to be kept far from the levers of power & the Liberals & media will have to be pushed like hell because they are also trending in the same direction. With just slightly less conspicuously evil language

Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

I talked to @haaretzcom.bsky.social about Palestine and Israel, generational trauma, and how the far-right is trying weaponize Palestinian, Israeli, and Jewish pain for its authoritarian own agenda: www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

One thing social media has taught me (though I have definitely experienced it in other media too): a lot of people, even quite smart people, are worryingly bad at reading comprehension. For instance: many have trouble distinguishing between someone *describing* a thing and *advocating* that thing.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

On the part of many Western countries, there is a manifest will to lie, to falsify narratives, to be complicit in the commission of indescribable crimes. No word will ever be able to describe this genocide, which carries with it all the inhumanity of the white world open.substack.com/pub/jairofun...

The national media has chased everyone out who has a single nut in the face of power. Carney's team must be adoring it.

I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate

“Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?” that would be why.

Riots in Northern Ireland, mass murder is Austria, troops on the street in America; it's a dark time. Now more than ever we need celebrities to sing Imagine.

I cannot tell you how bad this is. We've handed over the health of all Americans to this deranged zealot and his flunkies and mini-Mes. This is going to get people sick, some will die. Nothing good will come of this.
