Abolitionist in theory, incrementalist in practice. Here because I needed a place to keep track of the social unraveling and for silly nonsense (which I need because I paid attention to social unraveling). He/him

Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

I was unaware liberals could play actual games 
I don't know congressional politics 
I only looked at your public statements 
I was jealous of how well you pass 
I was late to me E shot 

I will hereby respect Sarah Mcbride and I will NOT talk down on the future first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Among the other wild things about this boring perpetual take is that it’s ostensible socialists all treating billionaires as having infinitely more resources and power than government. Mike Bloomberg, Billionaire Mayor, had a bigger municipal budget than his net worth every year.

One week out, and this is where “I’ll do it later” starts costing people. If somebody in your family keeps saying they’ll get around to it, call them. If your coworker just moved and has been meaning to update everything, remind them.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I'm so torn when I see posts like this, because OF COURSE I want this too. But I think it's important, even in our age of scrolling and 30 second reels, that we're accurate about what can and will happen when (not if!) the House and Senate Dems win, so it doesn't set up false expectations.

Talking about why Rahm Emanuel is a bad candidate on the merits and actually going into his record is giving way too much credit to Rahm Emanuel. When your 5 year old says he's going to drive a car to Saturn you don't explain why cars can't achieve space travel. You say "cool, sounds fun!"

I have a lot to say about the Cornell case, but I'm largely keeping it on the inside, since I'll be honest: I find it triggering. But I have one specific ask: parents, talk to your sons. Talk to them and make sure they understand accountability. Talk to them about consent. Do it now.

Alt National Park Service: In a court filing late last night, the Justice Department argued that Trump has the legal authority to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, calling access a “privilege, not a right” and citing national security concerns among its reasons.

Love that this post is still up even after she was informed there's no vaccine for dengue that's approved for places without endemic dengue, because what even are WHO vaccine recommendations when you can spread medical misinformation to score political points? Politicizing viruses is bad. Period.

So much going on in Canadian politics, including 2 pathways to split the country up: both fueled by US President. A citizen's referendum in Alberta asks whether to hold a separation referendum. #Quebec Oct 5 provincial elxn result could also lead to a referendum. A deep dive on that: #cdnpoli 🧵

I don't disagree with the thread below but frame it somewhat differently as an academic who regularly sees people who read for a living fail in the way described here. From that perspective it seems more a cultural crisis than an educational one

David Quammen's essay in The New York Times today closes with this paragraph. It's both a scientific falsehood, and an incredibly dangerous narrative. If you're willing to give me five minutes of your time, I'd like to explain why.
The Ebola virus doesn’t need to spill back. It abides in its reservoir host, and awaits its next opportunity. A virus can’t climb out of a bat or a monkey and fly off in search of human prey. It can only spill over. If humans left the reservoir host alone — not hunting it, not capturing it, not eating it, not exporting it live, not disturbing its forest habitat — the virus wouldn’t re-emerge in humans. It would remain where it is, harming no one. But of course that’s not what happens. And when viruses spill, they often spill into us, because the human population is such a big, busy target.

If trans women/girls in sports were actually an issue, they’d have some examples. They wouldn’t just keep saying “MAN STRONG.” They’d point to places trans women have unfairly dominated. There are literally no examples of that, because it doesn’t happen.
