Not to get too into the discourse today but I think it’s a big mistake to assume that the thing you happen to see a person or a group of people doing to protest fascism is the *only* thing they’re doing in the fight against fascism.

The residents of Kipnuk are under a mandatory evac order but can not bring their pets with them. Supporting this group will help with charter aircraft, etc.

Wouldn’t be much of a popular front with only people you think are cool and edgy in it

Dangit @dangbeetle.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah, totally, the protests the admin is freaking out about and whose organizers they’re investigating and targeting for harassment and threats are lame and useless and shouldn’t be happening, but your cooler other protest is way better and should be the only thing happening? Ok

Curtis Sliwa calling Andrew Cuomo "Zohran lite" is factually incorrect but also pretty hilarious if the goal is to make Cuomo mad

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

The city failed this family, just as it's failing to hold bad landlords accountable.

Those days will end.

We will rebuild the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants—a longstanding tool of City Hall that has been defunded and deprioritized.

And it will finally have real teeth.

This finding is structurally very similar to the Gallup data on "crime in your area" vs nationally, re: media hysteria. (But different in that there's also a generational gap driving different perceptions of what constitutes antisemitism.)

Americans' Assessments of the Crime Situation in the U.S. and Their Local Area
Overall, how would you describe the problem of crime [in the United States/in the area where you live] -- is it extremely serious, very serious, moderately serious, not too serious or not serious at all?

Another win for comic books and horror movies that always depicted Nazis as perverted occult BDSM freaks trying to find where the Jews hid the immortal werewolf amulet.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.
