You don't win a conflict for the heart of civilization with war, you win by making the other guys want to be you. We didn't win the Cold War with fighter jets and missiles, we won it with rock and roll and blue jeans.

Genuinely depressing to me that your partner has to Doordash to raise money for your cancer treatment when you get old. What happens if you don't have a partner? Are we just working to pay a landlord and save up for a medical emergency when we're elderly?

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Remember the Reason for the Season
Picture from someecards.  There is a black and white line drawing of a shirtless man wearing a wrap from his abs to his knees, holding a large knife.  The text reads:

People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

A small organized group effectively stopped Patriot Front from being able to produce propaganda and recruit at an anti-choice rally last weekend. Instead of the usual barge of videos following rallies, PF has been sharing videos of past rallies alongside photos of last weekend.
Graham Whitson, a leader within Patriot Front and longtime loyalist of the group's leader Thomas Rousseau, shares some thoughts about his white nationalist movement and the importance of activism to a few days after the anti-choice rallies but he shares a photo and video of a previous rally.A far-right X channel that supports Patriot Front shared a PF video from a march held years ago. I redacted their white nationalist talking points and added my own caption that states, "Hi, I'm Thomas. I became a nazi in high school. I have never held a job. Give me $50 for a sticker."

In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.
