striking the degree to which "reacitonary centrism" is now a q-anon style alternate reality, with its own set of facts and elaborate mythology churned out by social media algorithms.

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

Well, if there's one thing Minnesota is good at, it's being so cold and off-putting to people from other parts of the country who try to move here that they just leave. So I guess that's one unexpected upside in the event of military occupation

Opposing the violent dehumanization of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing genocide is a moral imperative. Opposing the rising antisemitic violence against Jewish Americans is a moral imperative. All human lives have value and should be treated as sacred. Dehumanization harms all of us.

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.

I know some of you might be getting sick of the dark clouds of morally degraded, culturally impoverished authoritarian decay descending on the entire country and its territories but at least everything is more expensive and shittier than it materially was previously

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” — Ta-Nehisi Coates

Someone should make a film about a mad king, say in the late 18th century, whose arbitrary rule and foolish decision-making inspired people in one of his colonies to create a political system in which power would be distributed more widely so as to avoid the harms of such mercurial policy making.

Democratic capitulation to right wing talking points on immigration have skewed public opinion so much that it’s hard to grasp. They must own this failure and accept the fact that their lack of counter messaging and meager support for immigration is responsible for this festering of public hatred.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

That none of the yes votes are running for reelection in 2026 gives away the game. This was a permission slip shell game and they were all in on it.

Every democratic senator who isn't openly calling to remove the caucus leadership should be considered as voting yes on the CR.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE. And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.” @michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

I’m really not into the “FAFO” discourse when it comes to Trump voters. Am I angry and sad that we are where we are? Yes. But unless there is a correction, and fast we are all going down with the ship. Energy should be going to helping people survive what’s coming.

Actually, a measles outbreak IS an unusual occurrence. Especially in a country like the US, which had eliminated the disease thanks to vaccination until recently. It's so unusual that most physicians in the U.S. have NEVER seen a case! www.nbcnews.com/now/video/-i...

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.
