Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

If only these countries would, I don't know, accept immigrants or something. I'm just thinking out loud.
They're all stewing in a big pot on the stove and largely in delusion and denial about it. Look at Russia, though. It's now or never for the empire-minded.

Things are grim but I believe the assholes have overreached. All they have is violence and intimidation and they're up against righteous anger, mutual aid, popular opinion, and *there are more of us than them.* Violence and intimidation are *not enough.*

Hold fast, stay tight. We can win.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Shoutout to my college freshman son who is taking a class on Monsters and Jewish Modernity and he raised his hand and asked "when do we get to talk about Stephen Miller." I raised the child well.
Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

yup saw that 😂

I just yelled so loud my husband came from the other room to check on me. The problem for these Sam's Club brand Nazis is that they cannot mobilize enough Americans to do the ethnic cleansing for them. And without mass popular support, ethnic cleansing fails. Genocide scholar here. Fuck this.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it
The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

Somebody here called her kirkland grade Eva Braun and I like that
Something just utterly surreal about all of the last week taking place against the backdrop of the Melania theatrical release.

Becoming increasingly convinced that humanities academics need to clean up our own house before admins or students will listen to us about AI in the university.

LLM text in publication = automatic reject.
Using AI to grade or lesson plan = major ethical breach.

People should lose tenure for this.

I have a MAGA infused family member and the fundamental, core difference between us is that she truly believes that all solidarity, empathy, embrace of difference (immigration) is virtue signaling and that “nobody really believes this.” It is my purpose in life to prove this cynical vision wrong.
Ok so Santa Barbara is tiny and it's so Richie Rich white they made a whole soap named for the place everyone that lives there is exactly who you're picturing and they're out in force against ICE. We're gonna win this shit.
