The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is 100% correct — I have heard the Silicon Valley money guys admit as much out loud, about all of these fools.

“I just wanna say trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I’m never gonna stop being trans, a letter on a passport can’t change that, and fuck this administration.”

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

Following these characters is gonna be so much fun in Season 3. I have a feeling we'll get fuller pictures of their personalities than was discernible on a casual read of the books. I'll be honest, the Black sisters kinda blurred together for me in the books. Easier to show in the, er, show.

"trump take egg!" I shout as I crest the hill. a bullet strikes me and I fall. my brother in arms behind me takes my rifle from my weakening grasp. "trump take egg" ,I mumble as the color leaves my vision. "trump take egg", he reassures me as he gently closes my eyes, before rejoining the advance.

I do not, although it seems like the kind of thing that has been covered by pop feminism outlets. I think these kinds of jokes arise from background whorephobia, a bunch of assumptions that come with our culture. They are easy to make because many people think they don't know any sex workers.

Latest in Liberal Currents may be of interest to the progressive atheist set. @polphilpod.bsky.social argues that MAGA is a thoroughly Christian phenomenon, but resists concluding religion itself is harmful. @www.bugbeardispatch.com @friendlyatheist.com @etvpod.bsky.social @nicemangos.bsky.social

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

It is also just laughable to think of Jamelle Bouie as some kind of incurious dogmatist. There is no way to maintain that impression upon reading like, any three things he's written.

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

I've just started Sophie Lewis's "Enemy Feminisms" and I really like the title and the idea. Namely that bad feminisms don't stop being kinds of feminism merely because they're harmful. I really ought to write something up about Enemy Liberalisms, because we have that in spades. Recent example:

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

No anti-Nazi movie will reach the heights of The Great Dictator, which depicts Nazi hate as mere angry gibberish (since they reject the grounds of discourse) and which climaxes in a declaration of freedom eloquently delivered by Chaplin's long-silent Tramp character. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY...

Project for the weekend: what are y'all's favorite classic films where the bad guys are Nazis, where there is Nazi punching, etc. Obvious ones: Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade) and Captain America: the First Avenger.

I think this is the best answer. Protests should call for the removal of Trump from office on the basis of his prior ineligibility to hold office on the basis of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. There should also be calls for a constitutional convention in light of the constitutional crisis.

Oooh, I loved the "She Is Risen" JC Superstar concept album, especially the Morgan James performances. I hope there will be a recording of this event!
