This is what Democrats should be doing right now. One part of it is making the case in public. The other part of it is doing the work NOW to gather evidence for a legal case against these assholes later, so that can move quickly (unlike the Trump cases 2021-2024)

Today I saw the executive director of the American Enterprise Institute attempt to address a conference room full of leaders of state human services agencies and I have never seen a speaker more reviled. Big swaths of the audience (myself included) simply walked out because he was such an asshole.

Shoutout to @colapsito.bsky.social for this commission for a tabletop game project. Amazing communication and check-ins throughout, great attention to the references and the brief. Especially impressive considering the subject is outside their usual fair. Would recommend this freelancer to anybody.

Marco Rubio literally had a student kidnapped off the street for co-authoring an oped criticizing her university. And now he's complaining about censorship?

This classic shallow argument runs cover for real ways that the response to the Covid pandemic has been all out class warfare, and is the perfect example of lazy, superficial “class analysis” that ignores the basic material conditions which actually define class under capitalism.

When I say we need to not be engaging in behavior that shuts out new talent and endangers the future of our craft, this is what I'm talking about. Finding success and then pulling up the ladder behind you is not leader-in-your-field behavior.

I don’t think it’s a particularly hot take to say the person who posted a timelapse of themself playing GTA V on the interstate in their Cybertruck should be in prison
