The US has long been a study of toxic patriarchy. But of late it has devolved into an abusive tweaker who constantly bitches about not being treated like the man of the house while he gets fired from his job, gets the cops called for screaming all the time, and fights the cops when they get there.
This is very serious and I hope all the 1A orgs will meet the moment here.
Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work
Hot take: most of the students who you laughed at for majoring in critical theory or comparative lit dense in French theory are more prepared for the 21st Century than computer scientists and engineers.
When I was 17 I pulled into a gas station blasting Haile Selassie Up Your Ass and some basic chick in the car next me was like 'Thats a stupid song' and In my head was like 'Girl, you will need three years of college to understand half the lyrics to this song'. This quoted post has similar energy.

One thing you might try to tell yourself to recenter your feelings each day is, "How can I be a good ancestor?"
You may not live to see it, but there will be future generations, and they will have given anything to fight these bastards here and now like you have the opportunity to.
Flavor Flav going hard to support the US Women's Olympic Teams after the rapist in chief publicly dissing them is a glimpse of what is still alive and pure.
Executive orders do not "allow" Trump to do anything outside of the executive branch; sycophants, quislings, cowards, and toadies in other branches do that.
Iran was more or less a liberal democracy before a US backed coup allowed them to overnight just decide women can't drive anymore.

If we're gonna be literal and pick an image if a living celebrity... god help me
No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist...
Yeah, that tracks.
I think anyone talking about Jewish political identity as if it's not a fraught and precarious subject matter is sus.
[Disclaimer: I am not in any position to speak authoritatively about Jewish politically identity aside from pointing out that it is historically fraught as fuck]
I feel like 'Lefty Media Crit Nerds who are into They Might be Giants, Wu Tang, Indie Hip Hop, and Punk Rock' is a subculture of its own that deserves more recognition as a self standing entity.
So... Today is a good day for a particular kind of person.
The new They Might Be Giants single is a love letter to the Wu Tang clan.
Rejoice my people! You know who you are.
@ me if you're feeling it.

Behold, the former PBS documentarian who uncovered the conspiracy by the communist super predators who run Sesame Street to trans kids into furries with D&D and feed them to Haitian dog thieves thinks that there is an artificial moral panic to malign 'whiteness'

Maybe they'll pivot strategy, but they're at least pre-framing moves to neutralize the blowback from the nazi shitshow they created by distancing themselves from the reactionary movement they created and focusing on more 'respectable' narratives of white victimhood.

I don't have any strong attachment to being right here, but I'm convinced that we can clock the next moves the right will make in their positioning and framing by watching Chris Rufo.

Undefeated!
Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.
Where everyone is a muppet except Hank Azaria.
IDK, whether its union organizing or community action, being real about risk of retaliation and taking discretion seriously is also important.
Knitting is honestly not a bad way to work through the fears surrounding all of that so as to not be paralytically paranoid about opsec IMO.
Thanks for the screenshot in the knitting video. One of my IRL besties, a knotting fanatic who is not even kinda on bluesky, spotted it and we were tickled by that.
Even with access to care, the public health systems are insanely overloaded and there are serious limits on what conventional treatments can do for someone with no control over their environment.
I say this as someone who has been in homeless social work for 12 years. 6 in a shelter and 6 in street outreach.
Newsome's positions on homelessness are right wing positions wrapped in liberal speak.
