“You know you’re living in a fascist country when you’re constantly going over in your head the reasons that you’re safe,” Jason Stanley says at the end here. All I can think is how true that already was in the US, for so many and for a long time.

I think everyone today crying about how difficult Dickens is and how it’s unreasonable to expect adults studying English to be able to read Dickens should get their Muppet Christmas Carol privileges revoked

This is the ultimate truth of every single one of those LGB WITHOUT THE T bullshit campaigns. They're idiots and fools who think that because they're RESPECTABLE QUEERS who DON'T MESS WITH GENDER they'll be safe and accepted by the people who will never stop finding new necks to step on

"The most cowardly part of the ICE gambit is that many seem to know their history — that immoral regimes don’t last forever, and that some day they could be called to account for their bad actions, once people figure out who they are."

Listen to the folks who focus on transit issues and safe streets. They are the canary in the coal mine of New York City politics.

Very good feature. Note that Cuomo skipped what is arguably the most important question on here: "How should the next mayor deal with President Trump?" That speaks volumes. Don't rank Cuomo.

For NYCers facing a large number of candidates to (please please PLEASE) replace Adams this year, this is a fantastic tool to see where they stand and who lines up best for you. Though I found this outcome dispiriting, if unsurprising.

Immigrants aren’t trying to cut Medicaid. Billionaires are. Trans kids aren’t taking away your food stamps. Billionaires are. Student protesters aren’t closing rural hospitals. Billionaires are.

I am BEGGING people to have higher standards for engaging with art. No monotone bot voice is going to know where to add passion or dramatic pause or any sort of emphasis that might make you FEEL something. Are your hearts and minds completely numb? When you dream, is it just pitch black?

Remember this: when they say "privatize," they mean "profit-ize." Private equity sees liquidation as profit. Don't be fooled.

This has to be the single uncompromising demand from the Democratic base and activist class: prosecutions and consequences. Democrats may talk a big game, but many WILL try to wiggle their way out of it if they are returned to power. But there cannot be any loss of resolve on this.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

💡💡Three things, NYC💡💡 1) Don't rank Cuomo 2) Vote for five good Apples. Always fill in every ballot with five good candidates who are not the Trumpy abuser Cuomo. 3) SPREAD THE WORD SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE WIN. THIS IS YOUR CITY‼️

A lot of people are misconstruing this and to put it bluntly a lot of these people are going to restaurants etc like normal and I'm saying we should refuse service and verbally mock them in public. They should be as afraid of going in public as boy band members at the height of their careers
