No lies. This and the other civilian surveillance sites treat anything unknown as a Purge like threat. “Person walking strangely on 4th St, anyone else got eyes? 😫😫”

Every time I read about "ideological diversity", it never applies to encouraging the participation of women, BIPOC, poor people, disabled people, members of the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, people with Long COVID, farmers, non-English speakers, or the working homeless.

Producing articles like this is at the heart of the conservative project. They've had most of the political and economic power in this country for some time. But not being validated by liberal institutions has been intolerable. They want to be seen as interesting and desirable more than anything.

+1. It had been clear to me for a while that the NYT, conservative op-ed writers, Leonhart, and even Ezra have used their fascination with understanding the right as a Trojan horse to let them in the door.

I can't believe that "oppose Trump, unreservedly, his criminality is bad, his policies are bad, they're hurting people in various ways, they're not even popular, don't praise them or him at all, just oppose" is such a controversial position among prominent national Democrats, but it apparently is.

But it isn’t actual fear. It’s hatred and contempt wearing the mask of fear. It reminds me of the Simpson’s - imagine the scolding of Rev Lovejoy’s wife mixed with Cartman from South Park - performative evangelical fear, and a dose of well hidden bigotry

I’m watching wrestling, or wrasslin’ (RIP Grandma), on Netflix for the first time in 10 plus years. 12 minutes in, there’s been no wrestling. John Cena and Cody Roades? When I was watching this as a kid his dad was wrestling. Crazy. You can understand 60% of America by watching wrestling

At a previous job, HR handed out a book, “Take Care of Yourself,” full of home remedies. The point was not “care” but “yourself,” as in “don’t go to the doctor, it costs us money” Companies will be offering incentives for employees to install this app in 3 2 1…

That this is the conservative agenda and has been for years…there needs to be a collective reckoning on which party does identity politics

Establishment Democrats have become so acculturated to accommodating right-wing shifts that they literally can't imagine what political leadership looks like. I wish this was hyperbole. The generation which came of age in bondage of Reaganite hegemony can't lead us to freedom.
