I love it when I can immediately identify the writer from the quotes and this from @adamserwer.bsky.social is 🔥 and parses out doublespeak language and policy so cleanly that you should use it as an exhibit in any discussion or debate with the ignorant or oblivious.

What I mean is that this is an escalation to dampen our resolve. But a lot of us who aren't new to this realization aren't the target for this. The discontent coming from the base bc some of them have dropped the scales from their eyes to see a regime that relishes in sadistic expressions of power.

I don't know what the polls say but clearly the regime is willing to threaten cities with nuclear attacks and deploy armed goons in our neighborhoods to terrorize children and our neighbors.

People have never wanted to engage with the level of political and state- sanctioned violence it took to create and maintain segregation, and for that matter, enslavement.

I love coincidences. Well, what I mean is I love that yesterday I was looping on a line from Ann Carson’s Red, and for the past week I’ve been teaching Antigone, and then see the last 2 posts I just reposted that echo discussions from those classes. So it’s in the air or liminal spaces of our being.

You guys fantasize, a lot, about not having to pay for labor or be responsible for treating the labor source with dignity. So much of GenAI discourse is about a desire for ethical enslavement. And that does not exist.

whenever there's a big protest overseas you see a contingent of americans going 'see that's what *we* need' and then when that energy does show it's tut tutted online, demonized on tv, and sprayed with chemical agents on the street. it's language policed and/or police policed down.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

Scott Walker radicalized me with his attack on teachers in 2011. In MI, our one trifecta did what we could to fix much of Snyder's damage. But there's still so much more to do. It's wild that WI, which used to be gerrymandered to hell, is winnable. BUT IT'S A REACH AND THIS IS WHERE YOUR $$ COUNTS

The image reveals my medieval creature which for me is ironic because it's a version of a mascot from my graduate school. The image is a beige background with black and blue lettering. the figure in the center is a winged beast with a blue body and glod wingns withe sharp talons. It is a Griffin. Below in black letters it reads: "You're fearsome and powerful".
