Just when I think I am aware of how much people hate women, I am forced to realize I still underestimate the depth and breadth of misogyny. It took my breath away just to read this post.

“In my opinion, every company that has caved to their demands has contributed to the harassment and climate of fear the rest of us are enduring, and game companies that have done so, in particular, have painted a target on the back of every single person in this industry” 👏

New: We have just sued ICE to demand it turns over a secretive spyware contract that it refuses to release: www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

A progressive, perhaps from NYC or Los Angeles, touring conservative communities in a suit and tie to tell people their views on abortion, or trans rights, or racial justice were immoral.

Wow the need for a movement-spanning refresher on protest/civil disobedience feels rather critical right now. Like at least in the "protest and civil disobedience involves risk of harassment by authorities, arrest, imprisonment or violence and you need to decide how to manage your risk" 101 level?
