Triumph of the Shill

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

Still pondering the fact that today's New York Times "Spelling Bee" puzzle allows the word "antifa."

This is one of those situations where regardless of if China was or was not using TikTok for espionage purposes, people in the US Govt are realizing that they absolutely can do that, so that want it and then will do that.

The reason Charlie Kirk is being lionized by so many journalists is simple: he was very good at cultivating journalists and it seems a lot of journalists don't seem to understand the concept of being cultivated as a pet reporter in exchange for scoops or leads. They think he was their friend.

Also, shame on any democrat politician who thought for one moment this was a radicalized progressive. We don’t radicalize toward weaponry and murder. We generally radicalize toward justice, protest, mutual aid, and community action.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

Don’t mention RFK Junior‘s “good ideas,” without making sure you reference Frances Moore, Lappé and Michelle Obama from whom he stole them. And remember, iRepublicans who systematically cut school budgets to the bone so that kids don’t have recess or any kind of exercise.

The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”

I'm just gonna remind y'all that Abbott refused to schedule elections to replace a Dem who died, so I do not GAFF what people do to oppose this fascist.

The racism requires objectifying & killing animals all day (i.e., "processing" them; please stop with the euphemisms!). No one wants these jobs; that's why farmers hire the undocumented. Those who eat dead chicken & turkey body parts support this system. #vegan #intersectionality #violence #racism

oh lord, they just can't stop themselves can they? #sexualpoliticsofmeat

Once again, the sexual politics of meat. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm deeply honored that on May 16, the North American Association for Critical Animal Studies will include a session at its Feminist Animal Studies: Foundations & Frontiers Conference on "The Sexual Politics of Meat: Celebrating 35 Years". More info here www.criticalanimalstudies.com/feminist-cas

laws regarding fetal "personhood" make those who are pregnant absent referents.

Breaking, per NBC News @garygrumbach.bsky.social -- Judge Paula Xinis in the District of Maryland has ruled that the United States Government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7 at 11:59p

Katie is working on a thesis on the absent referent and... well, a current politician who is golfing today rather than honoring military dead. We had fun at the Cambridge Union, eating great vegan food and meeting other vegans and feminists didn't we, Katie?

Back in 1906 Irving Fisher did endurance tests at Yale; he found vegetarian non athletes had longer endurance than meat eating athletes. Too bad the Times didn't consider Booker's #veganism. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/w...

Between watching @booker.senate.gov and learning the results of the Wisconsin election, I feel hope for the resistance.

So moving to listen to @booker.senate.gov talk about the harmful policies of this administration, & describes John Lewis's impact on his life, & then, to watch as he broke the seaking record, a record previously held by a racist, segregationist. He's still speaking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut...

Oh, Trump's administration is illegally removing immigrants, extorting universities, eliminating basic social welfare protections, devastating women's health care, but at least Yasmin Tayag can enjoy the free pass of eating steak tartare again. #sexualpoliticsofmeat Do better @theatlantic.com

How does it feel to know you can be comfortable eating steak tartare because Trump & the right wing manosphere has made it ok to eat meat? This is the cultural dissonance you should address. Your editor failed you by not challenging you to reflect on how you are benefiting from Trump's election.

Sounds like a reading of "The Sexual Politics of Meat" is in order, "boys!!"

Is it so hard to say "the sexual politics of meat"? Meat eating and drinking mammalian milk have been part of the right wing mythology for more than a decade. Of course it is back now. Masculinity renews itself through meat eating. Why not dig a little deeper and come up with a better headline too?

"Teslatakedown, Plano Texas, more signs!

#Teslatakedown in Plano, Texas. Lots of horn honking as people drove by! A few Trumpists gave us the finger, but what creative signs! Clearly, I need to up my sign making and start more than 10 minutes before leaving for the event! "St

What a great discussion we had!

On March 6, The Cambridge Union hosted a debate on "This House Holds that Meat is Murder." I was one of the defenders of the motion, along with Jeff McMahon from Oxford University, and Lucy Williams, a Cambridge student. The motion prevailed. Here is what I said: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuBN...

(1/7) Une joie et un honneur de rencontrer @caroljadams.bsky.social lors de sa venue en France pour la réédition de son livre culte "La politique sexuelle de la viande".

Discussing "The Sexual Politics of Meat" with Quentin Lafay. what a lot of information we covered in 25 minutes! Thank you!

Lots of amazing things happening at the Centre ( @animalrightslaw.bksy.social ) I had a wonderful time talking with the Visiting Researchers', and learning of their topics, and meeting you and Sean! Thanks for the wonderful afternoon, Raffael!

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.
