a lot of very annoying men have been going on about “restoring trust” in universities, by which they mean increasing “viewpoint diversity,” by which they mean privileging evidence-free conservative beliefs. but it seems like a bigger deal that students and faculty can’t trust their school this way:

The torture and trafficking of immigrant kids continues apace, with plans to remove the 2,500 unaccompanied kids presently held captive. We need a relentless drumbeat: What are they doing to the children? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

It's been a rough couple weeks so I decided I got ten minutes to play with ✨aesthetics✨ for FiascoWIP, full of wedding chaos, accidental sainthood, and pasta disasters❤️‍🔥🍝💍🪴
Character art of Leo and Vita from FiascoWIP, holding hands and looking at each other. Before a quote “he is the fire in which I’ll gladly burn” where burn changes from the fancy old fashioned font to giant marker scrawl. All before a background of a Risorgimento era Italian art print giving storybook vibes.

there should be a name for that consultant stink that dems get about them, the miasma of bad of advice, ill-considered knee-jerk centrism in the face of actual fascism, the reek of cowardice that only comes from abysmal advice

Just like an abusive husband smashing up his wife's possessions, the tech industry likes to act as if it's breaking things at random, as a chaotic byproduct of raw innovation, when it fact it's very clearly and systematically targeting human rights, worker protections and social safety networks.

Lundy Bancroft once noted that when abusive men break things in anger, it's never their own possessions, but always their victim's. That tech and AI's policy of "move fast and break things" has never yet included white supremacy, patriarchy, misogyny or other toxic systems therefore feels telling.

But sure, if your real goal is to get rid of a bunch of marginalized people who aren't a violence risk, then putting easily-bored, impatient police officers in libraries is a good way to do that.

Police ARE violent. So, sure, use them in situations where violence is the concern but they can't seem to help expanding it to "illegal activity" when their presence is more dangerous to patrons than someone taking drugs. And naming this "Operation Overdue?" Wtf www.10news.com/news/local-n...

When reactionaries advance some bullshit, the FIRST thing to do is identify the framing and reject it They're selling this as "trans rights vs. women's sports" when they hate both those things and want to ruin them both Accept the frame and you've lost Reject the frame and call bullshit

it is unforgivable how Democrats are granting the right's premise about trans kids in sports even as they attempt to navigate a "moderate" position so they don't look so bad (hint: not possible) they have literally regressed! the first bathroom bans did not have this kind of bipartisan support!!!
