I bet you’ll see a bunch of normal folks with patriotic signs and American flags whose collective protest embodies the foundational truths of this republic.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Yeah, any time someone is accused of thinking it's perfectly acceptable to want to kill people darker than them and their response is it hurts their feelings to hear that.....lmao....you're talking to a proud bigot. 💀💀💀

very annoying that we had to endure about a month of these people going “calling us nazis hurts our feelings” to then immediately be revealed saying nazi shit and going “yup, we want gas chambers. so what libs”

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

From a product management standpoint, seems like makers of most products have lost their way. Upgrades are becoming dreaded in every sphere of life.

Enshitification is too mild a word.

We're now expecting upgrades to make products worse, to add inconvenience, or to diminish privacy and choice.

This is the thing that has been most shocking for long-time advocates. The CEO of my agency has been doing this work for 40+ years and she consistently says how support for policies supporting the disabled has long been bipartisan.

(Caveat in the next post that I can't fit in this post!)

It may be hard to believe, but for the better part of 40 years, Republican presidents frequently signed legislation promoting special education. Nixon signed the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. George H.W. Bush signed the Individuals with Disabilities Educastion Act

The GOP once supported special education programs. Recent dismissals at the Education Department put an end to that support.

“Keisha and Sean became determined to fill this resource gap. They’re among a growing group of Black parents who are building a support network.”

No one was helping Black transgender youth. So these parents stepped in.

A new nonprofit provides resources to Black families of transgender and nonbinary youth at a moment of heightened political hostility.

I'll even go a step farther that this isn't a purely algorithmic issue. The intersection of parenting/motherhood Internet communities, institutional skepticism, and right-wing apologism is real, though I haven't yet done the work to tease it apart. I've seen it and brushed elbows with it.

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 3h

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵
