The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Elon Musk just moved ANOTHER $1 MILLION into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. That brings Musk’s spending on behalf of a right-wing takeover of the court to 2.5 MILLION over one week. This is a major intervention in state politics—and the fight for control of the judiciary—by the world’s richest man.

If you are one of the people tasked with firing folks, you need to step up and say "no." Make them fire you. Make them fire the person who replaces you. Make them individually fire each person down the line. Slow it all down. Take a stand and make the bastards work for it.

Reproductive freedom is at risk in Wisconsin. MAGA extremist Brad Schimel wants to enforce a 175-year-old abortion ban. We can protect abortion rights (and the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court) by electing Susan Crawford. Take action: indivisible.org/scow...

If you leverage AI in literature review, CHECK THOSE REFERENCES. I just finished reading through a proposal on a topic that I knew well, and thus was surprised to see several papers referenced that I hadn't known of. Then when I looked them up online, I found they didn't exist. 7 fake references.

Cap America BNW would be a better movie if it was either ENTIRELY just a Cap movie, or was retitled "The Red Hulk" and made into an Incredible Hulk movie and maybe had a cameo from Cap. As is, it's FINE. Not great, not bad; it's fine. Most reviews seem to simply feed existing ongoing "news" views.

Make no mistake, we will win this fight. While there are lots of folks who don't know trans people well, they are repelled by the immense power of the federal government being brought to bear with such dishonesty and cruelty. Article by Riki Wilchins @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

They have the fucking AUDACITY to complain in this time of Constitutional Crisis, when the president is intent on making himself a dictator, to complain about being pressured to act? Below is every single member. Call them 10x more often with your concerns.

When the Nazis were 1st establishing the deportation/extermination camps, they didn’t use the gas chambers just b/c of the efficiency of mass killing but b/c they had noticed the mental toll face-to-face cruelty & killing was having on Nazi soldiers by shooting captives Anonymity enables inhumanity

Just a reminder: Seattle has until this Tuesday (Feb 11th) to turn in ballots that can both hit the wealthy where it hurts while also building the long term public-housing-for-all we've been waiting for. Please vote Yes on 1A, please tell your Seattle friends- turnout is only 15% right now.

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost. They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong. Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Keep calling your representatives in Congress EVEY DAY until we are through this crisis. It is not hyperbole that we are in the middle of an existential constitutional crisis, the biggest since the Civil War. Every day that passes without resistance from elected folks brings us closer to conflict.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Chicago's "know your rights" campaign is working and keeping more people out of detention than otherwise. These people can be opposed, can be fought, and can be stopped. So we have to oppose, fight, and stop them. newrepublic.com/post/190813/...

Dear the Media, When something bad happens in an area under the executive branch's purview, and the White House goes "uh... a Black or gay person must've done it," you do not need to accept that. You're allowed to follow up in pursuit of the factual reason, not the bigoted excuse. Love, The public
