The first step of "woke" is don't be an asshole. The second step is knowing history and power relations. The third step is treating people you interact with in the world as people with their own consciousness and inner life. That's all too hard for some people.

I was alive when Barack Obama had 45% approval ratings. The MSM treated that as NO MANDATE for anything.

wow love seeing the Teamsters President smirking happily alongside an anti-labor Republican congressman and making lightly homophobic jokes together as workers’ rights are eroded across the country

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

It's good to take a moment to remember that this app would not exist if not for Elon Musk. He will always be our King George, the tyrant whose long train of abuses pushed us to try something better. Simply by flourishing here, we rebuke him. Every good vibe here will always be a stick in his eye.

🔥 WATCH: “Anybody can violate the law. The Pope, The president, Any sonofabitch can violate the law — how bout that? That’s fascist bullshit. We have one law. Or we have chaos.” Rep. Joe Towns (D-MEMPHIS) let loose about Trump implying the law doesn’t apply to him.

When your farewell message to your colleagues is: “I took an oath to the constitution, and don’t forget that you did too” You know she refused to do something blatantly unconstitutional. There is no longer a DOJ, only Trump's authoritarian Department of Revenge and Vexatious Litigation.

So what I’m getting is the Muskateenz are hoovering up data for reasons TBA, while he just points to publicly available information to call out stuff that sounds funny to him. And grinding axes with departments that have gotten in the way of his reckless business practices. Is that about right?

USAID was founded by John F. Kennedy in 1961. The Kremlin has wanted to destroy it ever since then. So if you're seeing or repeating anti-USAID talking points -- remember that you're consuming or spreading propaganda from Moscow.

Some of us olds are getting pre-Iraq war flashbacks. Respectable Beltway types would not listen to or acknowledge the filthy hordes warning them, then afterwards pretended nobody saw it coming. AND that they were still somehow “right” for believing it would go better? Shameless then, shameless now.

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

Trump and his all-white male cabinet believe that women are for breeding and serving their husbands... and people of color are for serving others and doing manual labor. If any of them have a job requiring leadership & responsibility than it must be a DEI hire.
