Very worthwhile discussion, mostly about journalism. Prof. Kumanyika is amazing and someone I'd never heard of www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqek...

Hey @jamestalarico.bsky.social ... I've received 3 identical appeals for cash in the last hour. I want you to win your race but I am not sending you money. Please chill the F out. And stop throwing trans people under the bus. You're acting against the values you claim.

The Callais decision is as nefarious as the Dred Scott decision. It is "revolutionary in its tendency, and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country." And the response from freedom-loving people should be similar. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/re... #USpol #racism #fascism #SCOTUS

From Wikipedia:

"In 1860, the Republican Party explicitly rejected the Dred Scott decision in their official platform, stating, "the new dogma that the Constitution, of its own force, carries slavery into any or all of the territories of the United States, is a dangerous political heresy, at variance with the explicit provisions of that instrument itself, with contemporaneous exposition, and with legislative and judicial precedent; is revolutionary in its tendency, and subversive of the peace and harmony of the country.""

In #Alabama , the fascists are wasting no time. They want black voices silenced ASAP. www.al.com/politics/202... #USpol #Fascism #Racism

Quote from an AL.com story by John Sharp, Ruth Serven Smith, and Mike Cason:

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshal said the state “will act as quickly as possible to apply this ruling to Alabama’s redistricting efforts and ensure that our congressional maps reflect the will of the people, not a racial quota system the Constitution forbids.”

Marshall has handled challenges to the state’s 2023 maps, which went before the Supreme Court in Allen v. Milligan.

The state currently has two districts that favor Democrats. Republicans are interested in redrawing them and sending more party members to Congress.

“If the districts are wrong, and were drawn for the wrong reasons, we should have new districts as quickly as possible,” said Jerry Lathan, a member of the state GOP.

This is me showing my own poverty of spirit and defensiveness. I'm fully on Team Primary Them All Out. I've benefited enormously from just being cis, male, white. Now I'm also old and unemployed. I'm still figuring out what to do next. I need to Shut Up Even More. @socdemlioness.bsky.social

I buried my mother's ashes today, at the feet of her parents' graves. We played her favorite music (Maria Callas, Cecilia Bartolì, and Kinky Friedman) and told our best memories of her.

A bouquet of red roses lays atop a grave. I love you, Mom

Neas did an excellent job writing this. KXAN is owned by Nexstar so I'm surprised this little truth bomb made it past their editorial review!! #Austin #Texas #ATX #TransRights

"Women's restrooms have existed in the U.S. since the late-1800s. There's been one in the Texas Capitol since 1888. According to multiple archeological and historical sources, transgender and gender diverse people have existed longer than indoor restrooms, Texas or representative democracy."

what perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Album cover: "Purple Rain" by Prince and the Revolution.

Prince sits astride his big purple motorcycle in the foreground on wet concrete. Behind and above his right shoulder, Appollonia stands in an open doorway, observing.

Sending military units to attack US citizens is a violation of the US Constitution. The president intends to give unlawful orders which put every officer in the position to decide HOW they will violate the Constitution -- either carrying out unlawful orders, or refusing to obey orders. #USpol

"I'm still processing what happened this morning.

"Is it now the administration's position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?"

A Facebook post by Oliver Kornetzke, from Aug 18 #fascism #maga #PunchANazi #USpol

"Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul - it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader."

From @andrewstroehlein@mastodon.social ... Actual NYT headline from 1939 If you don't wanna be called a fascist, don't do fascist shit #MAGA #FuckDJT #PunchANazi #USpol

NYT article from 1939: "Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime"

@evilotto@sfba.social commented: some choice quotes from the article:

"The five include perhaps the best known German stage comedians who survived previous Chamber of Culture purges and still dared to indulge in political witticisms"

Note "previous" -- this wasn't even the first purge.

"What amused the public most [...] is that they deftly, but unmistakably, caricatured some gestures, poses and physical characteristics of National Socialist leaders"

So basically they were late-night comics.

This old Nazi poster is on the grounds of what was once the headquarters of the Gestapo in Berlin, now an open-air museum. #GOP , #MomsForLiberty, #MAGA, #TPUSA are following a well worn path of rapidly increasing #fascist horror. US Christian fundamentalists have chosen blindness. #USPol

German propaganda from the 1930's. A shiny happy white family ensconced in the wings of an eagle.

"The National Socialist German Workers Party secures the PEOPLE'S COMMUNITY"

"NATIONAL COMRADES need their advice and help -- so contact the local Party Organization"

If you are white and have kids, the State welcomes you and protects you.

If you're gay, single, no kids, trans, communist, or from a shithole nation -- you're not just outside the 'community'. Your existence hurts the 'Volksgenossen,' and so the state actively opposes you.
