What’s happening now is part of a plan to end democracy: “It is clear that Thiel sees corporations as the governments of the future and capitalists such as himself as the kings, and it is also clear that this is a shockingly common view in Thiel’s cohort.” thebaffler.com/latest/mouth...

The thing about federal bureaucracy is that all the institutional knowledge that makes them work invisibly in such as making sure your milk doesn't contain formaldehyde, is stored inside people who would make twice as much money in another job.

Here’s the thing about this. Evangelicals are the largest percentage of homeschoolers in this country BY FAR. And Evangelicals also DEEPLY believe in spanking and hitting their children as a disciplinary measure. So following those threads you can see wanting to repeal this makes complete sense

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

good: unlike Trump & Putin his cause is his country not his personal power. He’s rejecting their ploy to cut a “peace” deal without Ukraine & saying: when there’s an actual peace that insures our security from Russian invasion & terror my work is done — & meanwhile we fight against annihilation.

Ghandi & Mother Theresa are the most understood "moral heroes" in history Both were unable to ever own up to the world they inflicted on others when made to suffer it themselves Ghandi condemned his wife to death but took medical help himself. Theresa was a cult of personality built on suffering.

I love everything about this photo of Joey Ramone c. 1985, from the correctly punctuated hand-lettered sign with equalized pricing for the three genders, to the photo of Aretha Franklin on the cover of Long Island Pulse Magazine and Grace Jones in the ad on the back.

They're deleting all the old movies because they don't want you to know that it was once possible to be conventionally attractive with a regular amount of working out.

The human brain is pretty bad with big numbers. Let's posit they actually have saved $7.3bn. The government spent $6.752tn last fiscal year. A trillion is a million million. We spend $18.5bn every day. We spend $12.8m every minute. Their savings so far cover 9 hours and 28 minutes of spending.

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just totally miss that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

Listen. If you are a federal employee who got that email from Musk to tell them what you have done, I am available to write essays saying what you did. I will add in profane sexual confessions, gossip about people no one knows, and a recipe.

If some asshole emailed me demanding that I explain what I do lest I lose my job, I would be mentally drafting my reply as I destroyed every detailed record of how to do my job so whoever tried to do it without me was doomed.

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...

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.
