Ritchie Torres endorsed an abuser and nothing of value was lost. Tough guys don’t go around harassing women, killing seniors with dangerous policies and silencing the most vulnerable. Ritchie Torres what don’t we know about you that makes you like all this?

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.

If this worked, ever, those outlets would be able to point to one single example where accountability and the public good were served due to their “access” to Trump through the pool, despite his DIRECT CENSORSHIP of the most important media wire service. They can’t. Not even one time. Never once.

Really interesting essay about organizing: How Much Discomfort Is the Whole World Worth? “If we cannot organize beyond the bounds of our comfort zones, we will never build movements large enough to combat the forces that would destroy us.” (via @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social) [bostonreview.net]

The key tactic they're using to symbolically erase trans people is to leave the LGB in place, splitting our communities apart rather than erasing us entirely. I think we need to think more about who's the target of this tactic.

Resistance can be whatever we want it to be. It doesn’t have to be throwing a brick or cooking a meal for someone hungry, it can be simple daily acts of joy like lining Elon Musk’s pockets by being addicted to posting.

You know how Brussels Sprouts taste a lot better than they did in the 80s, and sales more than doubled in the US as a result, putting Vitamins A, B6, C and K in our diets? That was the work of an innovation lab. They were able to reduce the bitterness to make the nutrients easier to consume. Hey ho.

This whole thread is great, but this one most resonates with me. You never know where the next big breakthrough is coming from, and reducing the pool of people who have access is slowing down progress.
