Young men aren't being told they're bad. They're no LONGER being told that Boys Will Be Boys & everyone else (girls & women) just has to deal w/ it. I'd submit that the problem isn't 13 yos learning not to touch ppl w/o consent (eg)—it's dads seeing a lifetime of privilege shrink & having feelings.

This seems to be the correct answer. The dads idolize men like Trump and the sons follow their dads. We are looking for a “crisis” among young men but i think its actually middle aged men who have gone insane because many of us never really grew up bsky.app/profile/maxk...

For the weekend reading crowd: I wrote in @theguardian.com about how I chose to write a love story during the pandemic, the frustration and glory of Black archives,--and the 160+ Y.O letter that inspired it all! You can see for yourself! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

I recognize that it is unsustainable to give daily to the various fundraisers of people in Gaza. If it's possible for you to select one family and to support them weekly or monthly. I know that this would be appreciated.

VP Vance just came to the Senate to cast the tie-breaking vote to keep Trump’s disastrous tariff policies in place. On a day that our economy contracted, you’d think they would wake up to the fact that their national sales tax is hurting our economy. But they don't seem to care.

RFK Jr. says fluoride makes you “stupider.” Interesting take from a man actively proving it’s not the water…it’s the policy. This ain’t health care, it’s headline-chasing with a government badge.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

This is one of the reasons I am adamant that we cannot rely on material conditions to convince people that Trump is a danger. We MUST message, and we must do so repeatedly, personally, and swiftly.

You know, with Amzn and B&N trying to run sales over Independent Bookstore Day, this seems like a pretty good week to crow about the cool stuff we do here. We're proud of this stuff, so we should tell you about it. So here's a thread...

Okay San Diego area—the Grossmont Union High School District board voted to eliminate 61 positions, including all librarians despite having a budget surplus Please take a sec (you don’t have to be a resident of the district) to sign the petition & send a concerned citizen email: gea-action.org

Over on Twitter @joshtpm.bsky.social is saying that Gillibrand is actually leading the rally to vote yes. So let’s be especially determined to let her know we do not support this stance.
