No they’re not nearly as diverse, but there are complicated reasons for that. Just saying they need an enemy and we’re convenient.

They’re trying to turn No Kings into BLM, which isn’t going to work. They need a villain, and Schumer and Jeffries are too soft.

Same thing they're doing at CBS. Turning the most reputable news sources into blogs circa 2004 (not yours, of course) in order to launder fascism.

The "begs the question" thing made me laugh.

Apparently No Kings protesters are now running the Senate? These protests are scaring the crap out of them, which makes it more urgent than ever that you find your way to a local No Kings event and make your voice heard.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

We’re holding a peaceful protest in Quincy, MA, and scheduled ours early so you could walk to the T and attend Boston’s. No matter where you are, find a No Kings event near you.

Wrote my MA thesis on Faulkner. I know he’s horribly problematic in certain ways, but my god, he could write.

It was heavily promoted, but it was also kind of a dud. They tried to ride the comic book coattails of Batman, and it didn’t work.

UNC ought to be very ashamed here, particularly b/c numerous courts have ruled that these federal guidelines are based on the President’s EO, which has been unconstitutionally vague under the First Amendment

The word "better" probably also ought to be in scare quotes, too.

Great thread on how even well-intentioned news articles can amplify propaganda.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 2d

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Oh, it is absolutely gendered. And when I was scaling down my higher ed work, I had like 180 students/semester (which I know could be even higher), and the email was brutal and probably approached 25% of my time. The grading was literally endless.

Chuck Tee @chutry.bsky.social · 2d

I definitely don't miss that aspect of academic life. My percentage was lower--I managed to skirt some service--but it's a huge demand on time.

I remember that. I wasn’t deeply invested but I thought 20-25% wasn’t too far off.
