I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

I can’t help feeling everything we’ve seen in the last month has only been a prelude to what’s coming: an attempt to establish a permanent right wing authoritarian government in the US. This is why all the safeguards are being torn down. We’re headed toward a historic moment (not in a good way).

What is most disturbing about the recent normalization of the far right is that it happens after radicalization, rather than moderation, of the far right. Many far-right parties and politicians are more openly anti-democratic and racist than they ever were.

Thousands of federal workers performing essential functions—from food safety to forestry and fire management to nuclear safeguards—have been illegally fired. The Department of Justice has abandoned more than 150 years of independence. The president has claimed that he is a king. It is day 31.

If only every post could encapsulate all of the necessary context, aim to the exact level of understanding and experience of everyone, and correctly designate where its subject should rank in what everyone needs to be thinking or doing right now, within the character limit. That'd be awesome.

And politics. Because nothing is hurting 'working class unity' like white working class insistence that they can keep their little racisms and still show 'solidarity'. The two are mutually exclusive.

Our system was not designed for a party system in which one party can gain control of all three branches after having radicalized against democracy, having lost all sense of shame about telling easily disprovable lies, and having built a hermetically-sealed media environment for their supporters.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
