Pure civic arson. Nothing but sectarianism. They see the Lebanese Civil War and the Troubles as models to be emulated. We're so lucky to live in a functional multiracial democracy, and these fuckers want to burn it down so they can squat over the ashes and piss on our corpses.

My only comment on the Jacobin essay is that I think it's interesting that Larry McMurtry is the example of man-literature par excellence; his son James McMutry is one of the greatest living lyricists, and despite a very hard-edged cowboy affect he often centers his songs in female perspectives.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

There's this thing people do, and once you see it you'll never once unsee it, where if you say something like "anxious about mailing your ballot, you can drop it off at your board of elections" and people will just tear into you for not understanding why they, and therefore no one, can do that.

Thought @djinnandtonic.bsky.social might be interested in this artifact I saw today at the Old State Capitol in Springfield.

A Wide Awakes banner. Surmounted by the word "LINCOLN", a coat of arms (can't tincture it, the color has faded, but something like "argent, a chevron azure, on which is the words 54th Ward, 3 eyes of the second") with the motto "mind your eye" and the name WIDE AWAKES at the bottom. Not sure what the supporters are, maybe weasels or otters?

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing.
They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants." This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

This sort of stuff makes me want to scream. The cost bloat is in *capital projects* not in operations! Capital projects are bloated because of a complex web of balkanized permitting processes, the byzantine and inconsistent nature of federal grant funding, and outsourcing talent to consultants.

View looking northwest from the fishhook pier at Montrose Beach. In the foreground is shallow clear water over yellow rippled sand that gradually darkens to blue in the distance. At the horizon is a line of midrise buildings along the lakefront in Uptown and Edgewater. Above is a pale blue sky with some wispy clouds.
