Neither one of the media billionaire newspaper owners gave a fuck about ‘fairness’ or ‘Harris didn’t impress us’— that’s the narrative they gave us all to fight with instead of them.

Yes they are advertised to falsely, told they must in their jobs , and watch stories of multiple layoffs around AI

This administration says whatever they think would justify their actions in their bases’s mind
That’s it
It’s not “True” or “real”
It’s “what can I say to placate you”

JD Vance knows that undocumented people aren't buying up all the housing inventory, just like he knows that Haitians aren't eating dogs. He doesn't say these things because he believes them. He says these things to speak to his base.
Some of y'all are trying to engage with his point earnestly.

A lot of Native folks are critical of land acknowledgements, myself included, and in some spaces, that criticism has led folks to incorporate actual calls for material solidarity with Native folks, or to meaningfully draw connections between types of actions people can take against colonial violence

On the Topic of “is the Pope a Trans Ally”
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

This is devastating. Alice was such a brilliant, creative, and thoughtful writer, journalist, and advocate. I last saw her in 2020 at a small conference at Smith College; a light has gone out, but I know she took pleasure in getting us all to shine ours with pride.
I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

Alice was a friend, a mentor, and a guide to so many in the disability community, and especially in the realms of disability and technology and disabled-led design.
This one hurts bad, but some of her last words were "Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."
Gonna try to hold that.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"
Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.
When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

All I have to say about the Nuzzi profile is that at the end of it she jokes about how she destroyed her life. In fact she did not do that. She has a book, a magazine job, this lovely profile. People’s lives are being destroyed by this administration, however, including by -well, you know.

Socialism isn't going to work if y'all stay racist. It's not gonna work if y'all stay sexist. It's not gonna work if y'all stay transphobic. It's not gonna work if y'all stay ableist. Everyone needs to constantly work on that for these systems to work.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

You're going to hand funding to Nazis and be shocked when they do awful things. Because your desire for a redemption narrative is trumping basic common sense.
In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.

Trump first brought this approach to college campuses where rapists are now entitled to benefits if they’re accused of sexual assault.
Things like a higher GPA and preferential treatment by professors. In my research, I heard stories of financial compensation too.

I feel like Trump has pioneered a new form of spoils, where criminal allies of the President can expect to be compensated for their crimes.
The settlement talks between the Trump administration and Michael Flynn and Stefan Passantino marked a change in position by DOJ, which previously had successfully argued in court to have both of their lawsuits tossed out
