Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

one thing i think the media’s surprisingly aggressive response to these tariffs shows is that in american society outrage over economic policy is seen as non-partisan (or safe, from the pov of a headline editor) in a way that outrage over equally egregious attacks on the democratic system are not.

Saw a post on TikTok about Columbia taking away degrees backfiring, and it made me realize - taking Degrees is way as punishment demonstrates how these institutions believe that their mission is conferring privilege and not providing education.

We don’t give ground on who is protected because they might come for us next, we don’t cede ground because we all deserve to be here. There’s no prerequisite of value to being human. Why are you here if you’re not going to protect your vast and vivid human family? What is this for?

deepfaking stuff that didn't happen has long been the concern but the bigger issue has always been fakery that's on the margins — not creating stuff out of thin air, but generating fakery around stuff that really happened in a way where it's not clear which thing is real and which thing is fake

Outfits like this: ☑️ Conceal your identity. ☑️ Raise the moral of fellow protesters. ☑️ Get shared widely on social media, amplifying your struggle. Pikachu is praxis.

Billionaires lately are like “won’t it be great when it’s just us and our money and you’re all dead?” And then they’re like “why don’t people like me?”

Imagine what the news coverage would be like if Hamas had just killed 700+ Israelis. But it’s Palestinians being murdered, so it’s a foot note. Hundreds of children brutally killed with US-supplied weapons, but life goes on like nothing is happening.

“AI” really is the end result of american consumer culture. it’s the baby pacifier of a vocal subset of people who were raised to have zero interest in learning or discovery or creativity; they just want instant gratification via a computer that spits their preferred art/music/politics back at them.

been wondering when we would see a case like this. I saw many reactions to Mahmoud Khalil like 'if this can happen to a permanent resident, it can happen to a citizen too.' which is true! and also, in my head I was like...this is def already happening to citizens and just hasn't blown up yet 😬

Walz unbound truly is something to behold. His talents were wasted by an over-cautious campaign.

I say this a lot, but I followed Walz as a MN reporter periodically asked to write/comment by national news during the campaign. From his speech at the convention to the VP debate he /vanished/. Meanwhile, Vance was on every TV. I'll always wonder what might be different had Walz been out there.

i was asked why the democrats are so set on losing strategies, & sadly they are not, they are winning. they are one of two parties of capital, funded by the same rich donor class. as long as their class interests aren't threatened they only care about elections in terms of personal career ambitions

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Never give any Republicans or any other hate group any benefit of the doubt about anything ever. If they made a valid point about something no they didn’t, even if it was valid it was in pursuit of their genocidal hatred. Fuck them and fuck every point they make and everything they say and do.

History shows that repression thrives when fear dictates action, and resistance is silenced by self-censorship. It’s on all of us to remain clear-eyed and stay strong to counter the repression tactics of the far-Right.

One of the things that really opened my eyes to the ways of the world was reading an article on what CEOs do every day. Every waking hour was work! And then my dad told me to read it closer, and think "what are they actually doing that they call work?" Lunch. Drinks. Golf. Napping on private jets.

You see the same misunderstanding around the phrase “banality of evil” when they assume it means Nazis were boring when it actually means everyone was a Nazi. No one wanted to be anything else. To not be a Nazi was deviant behaviour
