I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

It’s “racial discrimination” only when minorities benefit; otherwise it is “sparkling gerrymandering.”

If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...

Don’t worry, once we’ve helped them come for immigrants and trans people, they’re sure to be appeased and dedicated to solidarity in our great big tent and not come after anyone else, as history teaches

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

the reason bosses oppose work from home so strenuously is not because they think it doesn't work but because they think it's an awesome privilege that should be reserved for awesome people (like bosses), not given away to their ingrate employees

It's not really inconsistent if the goal of the Constitution is seen as the violent maintenance of white supremacy. which is clearly the view of the conservative majority on scotus.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration: The guy suing Harvard for alleged antisemitism is a straight-up Hitler-admiring Nazi. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...

A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. - The Boston Globe

Weakly argued piece, blandly written. Mostly hand-waving: Maybe a president demanding more seats from his party will be good for "democracy" bc voters will say "I don't like this." How can they register their disapproval? That's the point of a gerrymander, they can't!

Armed military in an American city — not to protect Americans, but to terrorize and suppress protest. Trump and Stephen Miller know their destructive economic policies are about to cause massive civil unrest, and they’re preparing the military to use deadly violence when it happens.

Trump always announces the horrible shit he’s planning to do, and this nightmare in DC is just the start. Very soon we’ll be seeing armed military in other cities too. He’s planning nothing less than a military takeover. He has declared war on the US. We’re already in a second Civil War.

I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

In the immigration system, the Real Americans are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the secret police, who arrest brown people, and the secret attorneys, who send them to concentration camps. These are their stories. *DUN DUN*
