It sucks to read people responding to "we'll steal from refugees" with "finally, some common sense" and I don't know what to do about that. I don't know how you fix that.

Because right now it looks like you're telling people who are being massively fucked that their job is to lie there and take it.

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum.
It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...
Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

We all planned never to wear skirts or dresses because we literally had no idea what surface we’d be sitting on.
I always had a chair, but still. Yeah. Hotel rooms.
You’d sit on that small bench by the 8th fl elevator with some other sad sack.
You both look down a dark hall and await the hour.

If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

Rep. Larsen, the ranking Dem member of the House transport committee, said: “Where do these harebrained ideas come from? Millions of people travel everyday using transit… Transit investments create and support jobs. Need I go on? These heavy-handed, top-down, egghead think tank ideas need to die.”
Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit
These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

DOT recently sent two proposals to the White House budget office seeking to pare back transit money.

I just don't think you get to 2025 in the US with people openly and nakedly questioning capitalism with 2/3 of younger Americans supporting socialism without occupy. I'm also aware Occupy didnt come out of a vacuum but it was an inflection point.

I've listened to several podcasts and read several articles on why people are souring on capitalism and they all don't mention Occupy which is weird to me because of nothing else they mainstreamed a lot of the language we use today. And it was a genuinely big deal at the time.

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Duncan also served as a 'jailhouse lawyer' during those 28 years in which he was mistakenly incarcerated, meaning he developed legal skills to help fellow prisoners.

there are REASONS it's not hard to show certain wine moms some radical zines and have us ready to turn into dragons breathing to burn it all down. Like oh, word? We didn't HAVE to be treated as cruelly as the 90s treated us? And our DAUGHTERS don't have to be?? 🐲🔥
The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?
