I’m sorry but this still pisses me off . It’s the whole de facto/ de jure distinction that I HATE

these people want credit for opposing something de jure while doing it de facto

It’s the inverse of the DEI pledges with the same commitment level

I can not be that good at curation , because it feels like the people I talk to even when dead ass wrong are so much more concerned or on edge than what’s being shown

I want these stories.

I want to know how Chicago got up in message boards

I want to know all about the folks I see on MY socials who not only are NOT organizing on social but also aren’t abandoning it

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

This story about Gen Z being way into Evangelical Christianity does not even tell us that Gen Z is actually more into Evangelical Christianity.

“I dislike her… but THOSE people need to know their place”

And suddenly no one has any idea why we are this close to fascism but what’s to continue the extractive models that render some people sub human

But have no plan for the complete removal of “those peoples” rights

Rest in power, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. ✊🏾🏳️‍⚧️

I feel fortunate to have been in the same room with her, hearing her speak to a standing-room-only crowd, last fall in New York City.

At 84, Miss Major was still full of spice, full of spark, and brimming with hard-won wisdom that she eagerly shared. 💐💜

“Book girls” are some of the best people or the worst with very little in between

Pollyanna is the model of traumatized optimists with disassociating issues

The next Little Women adaptation needs a non white director cast can stay white but we can’t have another ode to white womanhood

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

This sentiment, the "we do not demobilize" is what this campaign needs to preach from here on out. Getting the work done is going to require EFFORT. Taking the campaign's infrastructure and applying it to advocacy and political pressure will be crucial - mobilization is the right word.
