I just want to add my own experience to Sohla’s excellent piece. I started working for media sites online in 2008, writing short factual articles for a kind of wiki-like site. I got paid between $10-14 per article, not terrible at the time. And then, a pattern started that happened over and over.
“My hopes for a natural delivery were shattered all for six YouTube videos at $800 each. None of those shots aired. I was never informed [by the New York Times] why, but can only assume that it would have been a bad look to open the episodes with a sweaty, heavily pregnant woman about to pass out.”

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

It’s pretty weird for me being a Jew in America when the president is a Nazi.
I do not love it.
Any jew that supports this president is actively choosing to support Hitler 2.0 and should reflect on that when Trump does start thinking about rounding up Jews.

To every Democrat who thinks that calling Trump a Nazi is too much…
Maybe you should be more concerned with the fact that Trump is doing everything a nazi would do and less with whether or not you’re being polite to a Nazi.

I think one of the reasons the Nazi takeover of Germany is a helpful parallel for what’s happening in academia specifically is that unlike the Jim Crow US where integration hadn’t happened (not even during reconstruction), Jews were integrated into the German academy and had to be forced out

I can count on one hand, maybe two, the number of Democrats in Congress who understand the fight and don't deserve to be primaried
Mark Kelly is being directly targeted by Trump and he’s responding to those threats - good! - but then Kelly goes and votes to confirm one of Trump’s judicial nominees.
Why would you actively help your abuser? Come on, Dems. Show some damn courage and insight.

Exactly. It's disingenuous to call it a purity test to say "You shouldn't be beholden to right-wing billionaires pushing right-wing policies and right-wing candidates."

No, Progressives Don’t Want “Purity.” They Just Want Some Courage.
When left-leaning Democrats complain about corporate influence, it’s not a “purity test.” It’s a demand for a better politics.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”
