It's amazing how much of the support for Donald Trump and grievance politics comes down to "if I have to interact with people different than me in public life without using slurs I'd rather burn the whole country down."

Far-right politics is about indulging people who are too lazy, selfish, or stupid to tolerate discomfort - the discomfort of learning, thinking, and thinking critically about how you interact with a complicated and uncertain world.

Elon's laughing at Black and Brown immigrants being completely chained up for a flight while the White House calls it ASMR. Hell is too good for this bastard.

All this administration does is put every single nonprofit and institution into a trolley problem of either sacrificing trans people or hurting everyone else by eliminating federal funding. It won't end with us. They'll do this with every minority until it's only white men who are left.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.

there is such an insane amount of money and clout to be made by any Democratic elected leader willing to get arrested and given a show sentence by Trump right now. if someone like Pritzker spent a couple months in jail they'd raise enough to run for president in t-shirt sales alone

To everyone at The Atlantic, at the New York Times, at the BBC, I hope you're happy. I hope you love the world you've made. I will hate you until my last breath. You are beyond forgiveness. Scum of the earth.

the order said “all.” not “limited.” they’re backpedaling now because people are furious. if they walk this whole thing back because the reporting caused a shitstorm they weren’t prepared for, you can thank marisakabas.bsky.social - who broke the story first - by subscribing here. I just did.

Remember: A huge driver of the moment we currently find ourselves in is the desperation to protect white mediocrity.

Having ordinary civil servants turn against one another is a critical aspect of the authoritarian project. Again, the gateway is racism.

Without Mel Brooks hiring Lynch to make THE ELEPHANT MAN — on the strength of ERASERHEAD alone — he is very likely just a guy who made a weird film at AFI. That whole filmography you love doesn’t happen. We all need sponsors and mentors and patrons. We need people who believe in us.

Lynch was a saint cloaked as a transgressor in a world full of transgressors cloaked as saints.

Of course the same COVID denialists who walk around unmasked infecting vulnerable people & killing them are mourning David Lynch who was unable to leave home in his final years because of them. Wonder if introspection is on their calendar, & maybe killing less.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

people will go on the internet and say anything “you should be respectful when people die no matter how horrible they are” no you shouldn’t. that isn’t true.
