Do you like comic books and want to think more seriously about the linguistics of them?

Are you a social scientist or a linguist who wants to know more about nation-building or language planning in fiction?

For every photo and video you see of the Minneapolis general strike, there are organizers behind it. Some from labor, some from the faith community, some from their street who just wanted to help.

The working class has power.

I didn't even know who she was at all. Looked up her wiki and read the politics sections and was like yikes. Most people didn't know either.

Doesn’t surprise me none given enough time and lack of discourse around it people tend to forget kinda like how Coco Chanel the founder of the fashion empire Chanel was a Nazi Spy who tried to get Churchill to sign a peace deal with Hitler

The thing about censorship — I say this as someone with experience living under authoritarianism — is that it’s rarely overt. The state cracks down when people flirt with the line & then folks maintain it. This 60 minutes cancellation of the episode on CECOT sent chills down my spine.

Bari Weiss doing what she was put there to do, ensure that CBS News is a friendly outlet to the regime and the oligarchs.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.

It's resegregation in real time.
today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Reading this news while en route to the PornHub awards tonight in LA. Will be interesting to chat with people there about this development
By the way, this is *not* just about porn. While they certainly want to get rid of all porn, this is also a loaded gun aimed at the expression of the LGBT and other marginalized communities.
So, uh. first of all...Mike Lee can't just wave a magic wand and change the definition of obscenity. That's not how the First Amendment works.

Second, this is a naked attempt to subject the Internet to the censorious whims of the most puritanical community.

kinda funny that while everyone seems to be mashing up "woke marxist pope" with "pink pony club", I'm here all by my lonesome inexplicably singing: "His name is Leo and he dances on the sand..." 🎶
Okay, so I'm definitely not alone in how I read Loomer's tweet in my head

So basically there's a cabal of billionaire broligarchs, far right propagandists, and reactionary centrist journalists all on group chats radicalizing together and exerting coordinated narratives and influence on media and politics

"No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." 5th amendment to the constitution.
Indiana congresswoman says, “You violated the law, you don’t get due process.” These are the same lawmakers who oppose Red Flag Laws because they don’t provide armed domestic abusers with … due process.
