anyway, looking forward to bari weiss restoring “trust in news” where “trust in news” means pumping out propaganda for your oligarch boss

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Convinced one theme for 2025 is careful people moving w/an ethics of congruence & care for people and things other than self having to stare at the success of terrible people doing terrible things terribly & being wildly successful. Awful. But. Staying true to well being of the whole matters.

Part of the habits of white supremacy includes treating statements of people of color groups as less neutral, more emotional, and more violent than statements of white folks. This refusal to grant neutrality, or the benefit of the doubt, extends to other marginalized groups depending on proximity.

It’s funny I was talking to a guy about recruiting and I ended up explaining how a power analysis is central to how I work as is centering the needs of those w/power deficit in order to navigate to a mutual win. —- The guy looked at me and said no one has ever told me that’s how they work.

Without a power analysis providing a foundation to an ethics of care and skillful action you get a bunch of self-centered wellness junkies.

Jesus punched up.

The question of legality is actually arbitrary under a fascist state, as I wrote in the early days of DOGE. As we just saw with the attacks on Venezuelan fishing boats, which are plainly war crimes, the regime simply continues its crimes & claims legal justification retroactively.

We have successfully trapped the kittens who chose my car as shelter. It was a long hard project but now they are safe and I can drive again!

I love him more and more.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

scientists and environmentalists simply didn't use the exact right combination of magic words to take down a ruthless multitrillion-dollar global industry that's been buying governments and lying for half a century

The main reason climate policy has failed is that it's opposed by an international coalition of fossil fuel incumbents, authoritarian governments, & oligarch-owned media. That's it. It's the people who killed it who are responsible for killing it! Not the people who supported it! FFS.

Update on "Who Goes Nazi" "MAGA appeals to people who need to feel special, who need enemies to blame, who need simple answers to complex problems. It attracts those who mistake confidence for competence, who confuse being loud with being right, who think that admitting uncertainty is weakness."

Now I got all weird obsessive and started looking at all the .gov sites and it's fascinating to see which ones specifically call this a "Democrat" shutdown Dept of State White House OPA HHS CDC HUD (WOW that's a lot there) not saying party Interior Medicaid Medicare Transportation Defense IRS

Carondelet you are hard to love (but I still do). Please stop kicking in our doors, okay?

Hey yo. If you can find it in your budget to give a little to this org it will make you happy I promise. Reading writing building making for girls and gender expansive kids. Shop class with a book club! Power tools and zines. A bright light.

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

EA is an ill omen for the American game industry and AAA in general for a number of reasons but #3 is one I've been thinking about a lot when commentators talk about indies picking up the pieces. Indies fundamentally can't provide enough jobs to sustain a professional game industry of scale.

Maybe today was not the day to post my anti-fascist discount post on the Linked of In. Things might be to crazy for people to read it.

I still do not know how to help you understand we should care about each other. I know the fact I want to *beat it into you* is not a useful approach but you know, whew. No one got beat today, yet. Good thing I have some space between stimulus and response at this moment.

I don't want 100 troops sent to Chicago. It's a major escalation that must be opposed. I also want folks to understand that the agents that have been attacking us at Broadview are more heavily armed and elaborately, tactically outfitted than National Guard troops would be. We're already in some shit

A white man's military sounds great.

This is the administration that just fired a bunch of FBI agents for kneeling at a BLM protest five years ago.

Hey everyone in the perimenopause/menopause empowerment movements? HRT is on the line for you too. Don't think they'll stop at lifesaving, life-bettering care for trans people. We've watched it over and over again. What awful policies they test on trans people, they will use against all women

I'm feeling overwhelmed by the landscape of disinfo and cruel fuckery and I've developed real callouses since oh say 2014. How do people keep up?

Muslims are also 1% of the population. So are Hindus and Buddhists. Jews are 2%. Shall we also compromise about equal rights for each of them? How big must a minority be to deserve truly equal rights, versus a "nuanced" form of second-class citizenship?

People wanting to "compromise" on rights because a population is small really piss me off. It is not a compromise to tell someone they do not matter. It is an attack. If this is your position you are not being civil, and I am not uncivil to oppose you. You are a dangerous bigot.

It's so remarkable that they found behavior so ghoulish it crossed a line for what John Yoo could justify

This is why I watch an episode of Banshee after every Hallmark movie.

Its Monday morning and the President of the United States has committed another impeachable offense by threating to withhold funds from a major city in order to persuade voters not to vote for a certain candidate.

"Does our president understand what is real?" and other fun questions we are asking ourselves in 2025

The iconic case here is media: for decades, reactionaries complained about unfairness and bias, but now that they have largely taken over the media, it is all ludicrous, theatrical right-wing propaganda with nary a liberal voice to be heard. They didn't give a shit about "bias."

I guess in 2025 we need to remember all black men are not street thugs and even if someone is they still deserve due process. But all black men are not criminals with glocks and fixed blade knives and WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Do we know why Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts was arrested by ICE?

Creating a slogan as part of my Anti-Fascist Discount Humanity Dividend or Values-Aligned Discount for new business. “We’ll secure the right hire and a future where you and your employees thrive.” Give it a minute.

Describing violent acts as violent should not upset you more than the violent acts

this really does succinctly explain every single pathetic, boot-suckling behavior we’ve been seeing from the pampered pundit class

The best job is the one you accept. The best candidate is the one who accepts your offer.

One more day of me slapping at men pontificating at me about how much better “the hidden job market” is on LinkedIn. Little lady I’ve been doing this for 30 years. Hey jackwagon. Look at this grey and add up my years before you come at me. I will eat you.

This is absolutely true. If the NYT covered this the way they covered trans care, you all would finally understand what dangerous shit their trans care coverage has been.

It’s got to be so wild trying to teach law school classes now: “Um, yea, so there’s no such thing as ‘precedent’ or ‘law’ anymore — the law is just whatever John Roberts thinks helps Donald Trump the most right now.”

I see Mr don’t do that remains exactly who he is.

Getting closer and closer

All the baby kittens have been trapped.

I am please to announce the new roof is leak free!

Imagine a news organization: we only publish approved news. The mark of approval or it didn’t happen!
