It's because the phrase is used to identify those loyal to the in-group, and identify those members of the out-group who need to be targeted and attacked.

Just like Uber and Lyft head out to destroy mass transit and ended up reinventing buses. The objective is to deprive you of every public space and every public utility, then give you shittier, more expensive versions you have to pay someone for.

Again, there is clear evidence a data center moratorium would peel far more votes away from the GOP than the 10-15 (not thousand, literally 10-15 total) who might switch over this same crowd’s demand to betray queer people. It’s malpractice that the party won’t ditch these professional losers.

SNAP kids are just as deserving of a birthday cake, a soda, & a little childhood joy as any other kid. Kids shouldn’t have to understand their family’s financial situation before being allowed to be excited about cake. Somehow we’ve reached where that apparently requires a congressional hearing.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop.

Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community.

Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered.

Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

Good thread. This same thing goes for bigots, incidentally - they can be reached but only in the context of a genuine friendship built on trust and caring. Which is why you need to still go to Thanksgiving dinner with your racist uncle. Family is likely the only people who can reach him.

In NYC, Mayor Mamdani has launched the Office of Worker Power, designed to connect workers who want to unionize with education and resources. Former US Labor Sec Julie Su is overseeing the effort & the executive director comes from the UAW. "When workers can organize, everything changes," said Su.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

When the Singing Stone was first displayed at the Museum, the massive block of vibrant blue azurite and green malachite made high-pitched sounds when the humidity changed with the weather and seasons. These noises were produced as the porous stone absorbed and released moisture from the air.
