Huckster conman game recognizes game.

#OTD in 1921, Sophie Scholl was born “She was a central member of the anti-Nazi White Rose group in wartime Germany. She was captured, charged with high treason for distributing anti-war literature, & beheaded along with her brother, Hans.”

What is more, you m’fer’s are using MY STOLEN WORDS. Those sociopaths @anthropic.com stole my book. 15 yrs of fieldwork, blood, sweat ‘n tears. If you use an LLM, you are simply a common thief, not a writer.

PSA: if you use an LLM to do your writing, no you didn’t BECAUSE IT IS NOT YOUR WRITING!! YOU ARE NOT A WRITER. You extruded some text from the plagiarism machine. YOU ARE A PLAGIARIST. YOU WILL NEVER BE A WRITER BY STEALING OTHERS’ WORDS.

Journalism that alligns with brands is exactly what everyone has been clamoring for! Finally!

I love "brand partnership vehicles"

#OtD 9 May 1921 Sophie Scholl was born in Germany. Scholl became an anti-fascist activist, helping form the peaceful White Rose resistance group and was executed by the Nazis in 1943. Learn more about German youth resistance to Nazism in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/72-e...

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

Agreed. It's not possible to reconcile "rule of law" with "one week the GOP SCOTUS will nullify a 43-year-old statute so they can allow racial gerrymandering, then the next week the GOP VA SC will block voter-approved redistricting and have themselves a laugh by citing the SCOTUS liberals' dissent."

Rest in Power, Laura and Mike... you helped make me a real human.

The world has lost a truly great and beautiful soul. Never forget the comrades we’ve lost, and fight like hell for those still with us. Rest in power Laura🖤

Huge loss of our dear friends Mourn the dead & fight like hell for the living

Very sorry to hear this! one of the greats!

This week, we lost Laura Sullivan of @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social, an incredible pillar of antifascism. Laura was one of the first people to reach out & believed in me. LCRW is still here because of her. Featuring comment by @dlj.bsky.social, @jaredlholt.bsky.social, & @mxscottkernest.bsky.social

"Fascists tell us that we have no bonds with each other save state and race and other such trivial connections. They do this to tear us apart from our shared humanity—to make us vulnerable to their whims, their bullshit, their violence. Our connections with each other are the best antidote to this."

The foundation of this country is rich white men who don't want to pay taxes and have abundant cheap labor without women, Black people, or the poor having any say. Everything you build ontop of that is constrained by that foundation. Anything built over the edges is easily demolished.

This.

@abigailspanberger.com now faces a career-defining moment. Is she a fighter or is she a folder? Does she have what it takes to do the right thing or is she going to retreat behind process and conservative legalism and give up?

This administration ended work from home policies that caused many federal employees who can't afford DC price to leave government. In the meantime, Cabinet Secretaries treat their jobs like a side hustle to their brand building.

"Highly unusual" not it's batshit crazy tinpot dictator shit. He was found guilty in an American court. There's nothing to intervene on. This is dictator shit and you have to, YOU HAVE TO start calling it what it is.

in which social science uses a whole lot of words to avoid saying what a humanist would tell you in a second: "the court made a racist ruling to uphold white supremacy"

The logic is that a rising tide lifts all ships. And regardless of all social advances, once again, won through Black liberation movements, we have remained in at the bottom rung of the social ladder. Black women, the backbone of our movements, the most educated demo in USA, remain in a double bind.

I do think that every non-Black who questioned Black folks’ job qualifications. Claimed racism was no longer a problem. Was skeptical of AA. Said All Lives Matter. Victim blamed us. Believed they lost a job to DEI. You paved the way for generationally weakening your most reliable voting block.

It's not often you can feel love and heartbreak in an article, but this is definitely one of those. RIP Laura, our Aunt Tifa. All my love to those who knew her.

Is it political violence when the country’s health secretary suggests sick people deserve to die

Pining for the f̶j̶o̶r̶d̶s̶ butterfly graves.

Seems like a great way to build loyalty. Carry on, sir.

Tell me again how its teachers indoctrinating students. Say it again, motherfucker, please, say it with a straight fucking face.

Guardrails are woke.

New from me: Trump said Unite the Right was a "total fake." We all know better. Me especially. I was at UTR, and heard the screams when James Fields killed Heather Heyer. I sat through the four-week trial of the organizers. Here with receipts. (gift link) www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Students have also deeply internalized this point of view. When we discuss W. E. B. Du Bois’s critique of Booker T. Washington in my Intro to Political Theory class - broadly, education as emancipation versus education as job training - their instinct is to side with Washington as “more realistic.”

I'll stop here for now, but both of those stories demonstrate the value in paying attention to everything. Laura didn't just watch the racist right to gawk at it. She paid attention to it, playing the long game: understanding relationships, spotting up-and-coming stars, etc.

Second: In his early career, James O'Keefe was working a table at an event that featured white nationalist movement figures idavox.com/index.php/20...

There are many things we wouldn't know without the tireless work that Laura put in. I'll share just a couple stories that were only possible because she watched the racist right like a hawk. First: Jack Posobiec collaborated with neo-Nazis who later plotted violence www.huffpost.com/entry/jeffre...

Rest in Power to Laura Sennett, a longtime photojournalist and antiracist activist with @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social who spend decades documenting, tracking, and countering the racist far-right. Knowing her was a blessing, and her memory will carry on with all of those she spent her life helping.

The Supreme Court after taking away your rights

He was creepmaxxing and got indictmentmogged.

so stoked to be talking about my book with the great @kimkelly.bsky.social at the Pen & Pencil Club in Philly on Tuesday! Come through! www.penandpencil.org/content.aspx...

Big shout out to all the Yale grads that lead the way to this outcome.

America doing to kids what would be a war crime to do to professional enemy soldiers.

More than one judge belongs in prison. End Impunity Abolish qualified immunity.

He got creepmogged?

This is a travesty. If a Jewish person feels bad about speech, it’s antisemitic?? I will call out the terrorist states’s apartheid and genocide and I do not gaf who objects or whose feelings are hurt. IT IS NOT ANTISEMITIC to decry genocide!! NO AMOUNT OF HASBARA WILL CHANGE THE FACTS.

Rest in power Laura. Thank you for being so kind and encouraging to me. You were a real one.

The first rule of Rape Club is you don't have a Rape Club.

“ZOG” but leftishly

As America regresses culturally and politically, so too will journalism. For much of America’s journalism history since coming out under British rule, newspapers were full of gossip, propaganda, and outright lies to fit the owners agenda. “Objective”, professional journalism is somewhat new.

It is very much a Streisand Effect situation. I'd have no idea that had happened were it not for the bans.
