As Imani Barberin said on another site: “Your broken bodies are profit centers.”
“The disabled people you let die to ‘return to normal’—it was for nothing. Because at the end of the day, [Democrats] are prepared to treat you the fucking same way.”
Why have the internet if it can't tell me exactly the thing I need from a random academic text that I can't locate in my own mess?
Black and red book cover. In white letters: The Origins of Critical Race Theory: The People and Ideas that Created a Movement. By Aja Y. Martinez and Robert O. Smith.
the latest from @asia-not-aha.bsky.social and @rosmith.bsky.social is here! it's so rigorously researched, beautifully written, and, obviously, necessary in this (but truly every) moment in history! go get your copy now from @nyupress.bsky.social [and maybe avoid Amazon 😉]
What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.

Homan went on CNN to complain that ICE’s attempts to arrest Chicagoans has been hampered by the people’s knowledge of policy—largely because of the city’s “Know Your Rights” campaign. Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear.
Disappoint them.
Not getting into it today, but the deepseek thing is primarily amazing for how deftly & completely it proves the entire Western LLM-based "AI" market is overvalued & over-hyped; like, it's already bodyrocking the ppl who truly thought this shit was somehow worth *$200 A Month*.
Which? We told you 🤷🏾♂️
currently trying to track down the origin of the "250 word discussion post and two responses" paradigm. where tf did this ever-lasting assignment come from?
Of course, Hegseth is unqualified. But describing this as “affirmative action” or “diversity” gets it precisely backwards. White supremacy has *always* promoted unqualified white men over everyone else. This is the *exact opposite* of affirmative action policies designed to end discrimination.
I wish people on the left would stop using “diversity hire” or “affirmative action” to describe folks like Hegseth. This reinforces the racist, sexist notion that diversity and affirmative action are promoting unqualified people, doing the right’s work for the.
VICTORY! After over a decade, a federal court has declared that warrantless backdoor searches of US person’s communications collected under Section 702 of FISA is unconstitutional.

Been thinking about this book a lot lately and seeing the pics of the CEOs lined up today, yeah, thinking about it again
Never believe that anti- Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will
When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

“Difficult questions” is an odd euphemism for overt corruption.
Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

The image shows a TikTok office building with the TikTok logo prominently displayed in the foreground. Above the building, there is a "Spirit Halloween" banner featuring a cartoon grim reaper. The juxtaposition humorously suggests that the TikTok office has been taken over or replaced by a Spirit Halloween store.
That was fast.
The ceasefire deal can be celebrated while also not being nearly enough to ensure long term Palestinian sovereignty and peace in the region
If he's "privately" pro-queer and publicly, materially anti-queer, then he's actually anti-queer no matter what he says or thinks.
i don’t think it’s queer peoples fault for not supporting corporations and capitalism enough that’s leading to this shift. i think it has more to do with the continued decades long project from the right to demonize queer people from public life
