It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Trumpism and Muskism are similar in that both rely on a shitposting ethos: just spout stuff and keep spouting stuff, don’t think about whether it’s true, the point is to keep spouting stuff. It’s a nihilistic worldview that treats truth with contempt.

Texas officials and RFK Jr have portrayed the outbreak in Texas as isolated to a religious community. This is a way to both evade blame and claim it’s a problem of “others”. This is a lie. The antivax sentiment driving this is not a feature of Mennonite beliefs.

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

It’s remarkable how much weakness this conveys on the part of Vance and Trump. It’s classic bully weakness: Vance: [Dumps on Ukraine] Zelenskyy: [pushes back] Vance: [pikachu face] HOW DISRESPECTFUL Pathetically weak.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.
