every time you see this shit ask yourself: what have you done - this week - to make stronger ties in your community? we're all going to need those ties

i should mention, for the Cold War aviation perverts, that there's a beautiful, full colour, high res copy of "Strategic Air Command" available on the Internet Archive, in case u want to see Jimmy Stewart pull himself upside down on a little wheeled cart thru the 85' pressurized tunnel inside a B-36

'luigi mangione being celebrated as a hero will lead to a valorization of vigilante violence' is one of those things that only sounds reasonable if you start paying attention to American vigilantism at the exact moment it targets someone with wealth and influence

The DOGE gang that can't shoot straight: If this is true, it means that not only have the DOGEbros sent an email with a demand of questionable legality to all executive branch workers, but they have sent it to judicial branch employees who are constitutionally beyond their reach.

Yes, exactly. This is one of the lessons of post-9/11 human rights litigation, too. www.lawdork.com/p/the-import...

I think my goal for today is to read some Terry Pratchett and maybe get a Patreon post up and otherwise rest and self-care.

The circulation through repeated performance of (unplausibly denied) fascist/Nazi salutes is going to become more prevalent absent major backlash & social consequences. That there hasn’t been is fucked and terrifying and these people are telling us through iconic performance that they are Nazis.

I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Indeed, for a long time now there have been outstanding critiques of “colorblindness” that show how it can lead to exactly this moment.

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth. she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com

Reminder! Trump has distressingly expansive nuclear use authority & USA has (depending on assumptions) 680ish to 800ish missiles w/nuclear warheads that can be launched in… …less time than it takes to eat a (quick) meal as Anthony Yu’s translation of Journey to the West might put it.
