In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

I’m usually not a fan of lace weight knitting as it takes so freaking long, but I have to admit this is one of my knits I wear the most! It folds up so small that it’s easy to travel with and can be worn in both warm and cold. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitting

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

Check out the difference in the 50-year snowfall trends during the autumn (left) and mid-winter (right) around Alaska. Increasing temps driving changes in both seasons. In autumn, more precip falls as rain. In winter, warmer but still sub-freezing air holds more moisture. #akwx #ClimateChange #Snow
