perfect synopsis of modern Republicanism
Darline Graham: I tripped up on one question last night, regarding Taiwan. I don't speak politician. I was just honest. Of course, Taiwan is our friend. But I think people in South Carolina are more worried about boys in girls sports.

if you are bigoted against trans folks you will not stop there and I know it you are either already racist, sexist, or homophobic or you are on your way there and I will not join you for your journey

The thing is, they moved past products some time ago and have entered “move the stock price up” as their only corporate goal. Everything else—even the crap they end up selling in the end, has little or no importance to them.

“But I want to tell you what he was like to hang out with in private when there were no stakes” is a very common response to the death of a person who had immense power in situations with high stakes.

The beauty of sports is you can just decide at any point “I give a shit about this now. Against all reason.” Ten minutes later you hate one of the teams more than life and it’s all downhill from there.

If for whatever reason you used to be a real piece of shit, and now you look back on that period of your life with regrets, that is good and laudable, and also, there might be some jobs that you shouldn't have. I do not find this to be especially complicated.

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

“Quieter methods of removal will look more like ordinary criminalization, which many people in the U.S. are conditioned to ignore. This moment is a test for our movements. Can we recognize criminalization as the primary means of human disposal under fascism and organize accordingly?”

E.M. Hudson @EMHudsonlives: 21h

Dudes can literally just sit around and name old sports players and just have the best time.

Kyle Boggs @kgboggs : 4h

Decades of gender/sexuality research tell us this is a “dude” thing because some men still don’t have social permission to create direct bonds with other men; those bonds have to be indirect through sports talk, women, etc, which is one of many ways heteropatriarchy hurts men too

@crashx55
Replying to @kgboggs and @EMHudsonlives

Any relation to Wade Boggs?

I don't know that I've ever seen a pope so radically reverse Catholic history, accepted theology for literally centuries, and call his predecessors corrupt and without divine mandate before. "God does not bless any conflict" is an UNBELIEVABLE rupture of theological continuity. Good for him.

it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
