The fact so many people are convinced that calling out bigotry is electoral poison is a good reason to doubt the idea we don’t live in a bigoted country

NYT doing fascist collaboration through normalization as usual

Anarchism literally on trial today in Fort Worth, lots of back and forth about what a red and black flag means.

Midday update: Lynette continues to be talking, identifying people in black bloc, and describing signal group dynamics

There are a lot of things to be mad at Sen Mullin for, but now is not the time for people who have no special insight to revive their takes on Cherokee identity & police how Indigenous people should appear.

Noem was 100% put in to be swapped out, whether she knew it or not. It's a thing many businesses do, put a woman in charge of something they know is a turd. I have zero sympathy for her, this is something she was probably amusingly too dumb to anticipate, but everyone else should have seen it coming

Just remember that if they could charge you for nothing, or charge you to remove a bad thing they're doing, that's just as good for them as providing a good or service. It's all equal. Capitalism is a game of brinkmanship where capital sees what it can get away with. We are the only check on it.

It seems obvious when people talk about it, but most people don't think about how logistics is a constraint on distribution of goods and how ease of packing affects what gets cultivated and therefore what is marketed. Capitalists flatten as much difference as possible in the search for max profit.

There are so many cultivars we are losing with family farms, as everything is reduced to minmaxing market exchange value.

- "each missile/jet/interceptor costs $~~~~ that could have been used for hospitals"

- "oil prices are going up"

(nice to know non-American lives have a discrete dollar amount and that you only care about money)

I get it, but it sure is something seeing many an American;

- harp on about there being no public support for Trump's war
(which didn't stop him - not one bit)

- "american military will die"
(no mention of the non-Americans who ARE already dead, and will die) (the US military is volunteer only)

1,100 Iranian civilians killed by America, Israel, and Saudi Arabia in the last three days.

That’s a strange way to ‘liberate’ people.

I just wanna grill with the embers of the political establishment, for God's sake!

"blue state" this, "red state" that, howsabout you abolish the state you fuckin' clowns

RFK Jr is so bad he got New England to hate the Kennedys

Emmanuel Damas in a patterned dress shirt and striped tie leaning against a metal railing on a sunny residential street with red brick rowhouses and flowering trees in the background.

Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday.

Damas came to the U.S. from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection.

A tooth infection.

BLUESKY: we coded our entire website in claude so unfortunately we have no idea how to make it so you can't block the guy whose job is to prevent your friends from seeing your posts if you're too rude to a pedophile

this seems like a design flaw

AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect - Nature Despite efforts to remove overt racial prejudice, language models using artificial intelligence still show covert racism against speakers of African American English that is triggered by features...

"...language models are more likely to suggest that speakers of AAE be assigned less-prestigious jobs, be convicted of crimes and be sentenced to death." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm calling it--the use of generative AI is antiblack. Internationally. Multiple countries. Multiple coasts. If you fire it up--I judge you.

just got a job at the new york times as some dumbass

So far, it's just a compliance letter that gives them ten days to respond.

We will see if they choose to comply with NY anti discrimination laws, or Trump's genocidal policies. And if they don't, will the AG follow through and file suit? That never happened in California, despite a similar letter.

N.Y. Attorney General Orders Hospital to Resume Youth Transgender Care NYU Langone Health had stopped providing puberty-blocking medication and hormone treatments after the federal government threatened to pull its funding.

The New York attorney general is finally taking the first steps to hold NYU Langone accountable for their horrific decision to end trans care for minors.

Note that California AG Bonta has not sued any hospitals under discrimination laws this way (only one lawsuit under M&A law).

Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas announced on Monday a new interpretation of state law that would extend the state's ban on gender-affirming sare for minors to mental health providers, declaring that any therapist who affirms a trans youth's gender identity is "facilitating" illegal treatment and committing child abuse. Under his interpretation, therapists,

i think it’s cool the fascist AGs are mandating conversion therapy as the only treatment for trans people on the thinnest of legal pretenses and the Democrat AGs are too pussy to enforce their own non-discrimination laws on healthcare providers forcibly detransitioning their former patients

@mayor.nyc.gov and @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, you must fulfill your promises and immediately penalize NY hospitals that have discontinued care for trans people. You must also immediately devote city and state resources to ensuring people can receive care.

Blocking trans women is a team sport among the bloo mah gahs and Neoliberal cranks on here.
That is why I do not think Bloosky needs to be more lib pilled and friendly to these types. They can also suck my entire dick. From the back, even. I need Bloosky to get worse and less friendly to these types

We for real need to have a conversation sometimes about how blocks are weaponised - let's face it most often - against trans and ND people. A tool which is supposed to be there to set one's personal boundaries is often used to blacklist and exclude. It's very American. MY boundaries, fuck yours.

I got blocked by Michael Hobbes for saying that Bouie is indeed a transphobe and then people came in sealioning and howling that I must be lying. Idk why he's got shooters like this. My theory is that white libs are being protective of a man who they have a weird parasocial relationship with

i make one comment about a cis NYT journalist, not even tagging them or engaging directly. #7 most blocked user in 24 hours.

i get harassment, death threats, and revenge porn. i come forward about it all. every offenders is generally unaffected, not even top 20 most blocked.

yet i'm the aggressor.

It's very difficult
