The only way to get broad adoption is through deception. Same as it ever was.

SB3325 and SB3688 have passed both Houses of the Illinois General Assembly! 🎉 Together, these measures help improve care, access, and understanding for Illinois patients navigating #menopause and #perimenopause.

Imagine shitposting at me and I’m like:

Colombian mercenaries accused of committing war crimes in Sudan were trained in military bases in the United Arab Emirates, according to a new report from Human Rights Watch. We speak with Joey Shea, author of the report.

Very superstitious... writing on the wall... 🤔

I can see Nova Scotia from my house! 😭

Devil May Cry isn't getting enough attention and I say this as someone who didn't love how the soundtrack was used in S1, but who's begun to appreciate Shankar's style. The directing seems much surer as does the writing and editing. The representations are also very keyed into the moment. #DMCS2

Pray with your feet, eh? 😏

Do western countries do anything while conscious?

A question.

Sometimes my love for him is so intense that it hurts… my heart gets overwhelmed.

Reupping this! If you're in a position to donate or support, it's greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

"The city’s own data shows that there is 'zero evidence' that ShotSpotter — or any gunshot detection tool — would have a positive impact on crime and violence." Well this is embarrassing.. news.wttw.com/2026/05/27/c...

You know what day it is

Absurd that it was even taken down. 😤

Black women voted Democratic at over 90% in every presidential since 2008. Down-ballot Democrats outran Harris in states like North Carolina. Base voters did the work the party didn't pay us to do. We weren't the problem. We were the proof.

The actual constituency, at scale, is the 89 Million: — Locked Out: registered, tried to vote, couldn't (Black/Brown precincts deliberately degraded) — Politically Homeless: voted Dem, stopped — Ideologically Out: couldn't, in conscience, vote for a party refusing to condition aid on Gaza

Attention to Black people, women, queer people, immigrants gets called identity politics. Attention to white men gets called strategy. The autopsy's built on a fantasy demographic that votes Republican when Dems run people of color & women. That demographic doesn't exist at scale. It's a ghost.

What IS in it: the diagnosis the party's been writing since Bill Clinton. Too much "identity politics." Not enough "Middle America & the South." Also tells Democrats to "deploy male messengers" and not to "assume identity politics will hold male voters of color."

What's NOT in 192 pages: - Israel & Gaza, despite the author privately telling IMEU in July 2025 the war hurt Democrats - The Uncommitted movement - Louisiana v. Callais & Section 2 - The broligarchy (Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Pool) - The Biden decision to stay on until July - The 107-day Harris campaign

The DNC's 2024 autopsy is 192 pages. The entire executive summary: one sentence — "This section was not provided by author." Not vague. Not hedged. Missing. Authored without interviewing Biden, Harris, or Walz. The chair publicly disowned it. A short thread.

At least 220 people are believed to have died from the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa. The World Health Organization says that it is spreading so quickly that response efforts are struggling to keep pace. https://to.pbs.org/4uuGbTz

This is very me coded. 🤭

Counterterrorism is a grift.

NYT doing its best to engineer complacency and antisocial dispositions. Again.

This is what I wish the TikTok discourse had gotten around to. 👏🏾👏🏾

We can always refuse a particular invitation and hold out for something that aligns exactly with our political demands. That, too, is a strategy. Some invitations are best rejected. Still, an invitation is a material thing.

Yeah I'm not engaging this until I've had food and rest.

This is why I think cotton gin analogies and references are not only appropriate, but necessary.

"Louis [XIV]’s belief that a systematized regime of forced labor could be a conduit for godly benevolence became an essential part of daily life... Repealing this antique document will surely be the simplest part [but] slavery’s legacy lives on in... politics, culture, and communities." #CodeNoir

"Communication 'is not only the transmission of information, but… the creation of a culture.' [What] circulates within digital environments shapes how people perceive the world and introduces into the collective consciousness images and narratives that direct our desires and influence our… choices."

"It is not enough to… celebrate the benefits of innovation, if they are built on a chain of exploitation that remains deliberately hidden. If technology promises emancipation, yet produces new forms of global subordination, it stands in contradiction to the fundamental principle of human dignity."

Will try to look over this and post some quotes/thoughts tomorrow, but I know others have already made inroads.

HB4834 has passed both Houses! 🎉 No one seeking or providing gender-affirming or reproductive healthcare should have their medical records weaponized against them. Illinois is taking an important step to safeguard essential care and personal privacy!
