It’s pub day! Thank you @princetonupress.bsky.social for this amazing animated announcement 🔥

This immediately sprang to mind when I heard the news (for obvious reasons given my recent book). I think Gamergate will be studied by historians (assuming we have any of those left in the future) as not just an inflection point, but a flashing red warning sign that people didn't want to see.

Per tradition, our Blog’s on hols for August, so we’re counting down the most read posts of 2024-25. At No.4, @joshuabowes.bsky.social & @jjwest.bsky.social’s ‘The Trump Manosphere’ on reactionary male supremacy, misogyny, & accelerationist violence. ➡️ Read it at: voxpol.eu/the-trump-ma...

Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.

Whew, what a read

Trump Gloats Over Passage of Bill That Will Kick Millions Off Medicaid, Food Aid www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Laura Loomer is the weirdest person in politics right now. She isn't even a stopped clock anymore, she's a clock that's flashing random numbers and about half of them are right and the other half are unbelievably racist and all of them are insane

if i understand my LGBTQ history, i believe queer people love having their bars raided on flimsy pretexts

If only there was a book about this 🤔

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

An innocent man who committed no crime but is the same race as the person who murdered your daughter should have to spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp is the argument?

Put up or shut up time for the Supreme Court

We don’t need a left-wing Joe Rogan, but we do need a Jimmy Buffett of the winter time

yeah there's a direct through line between this ruling and anyone who bought that hogwart's game that trans people got screamed at for suggesting we boycott

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

“Our client, who was in the middle of seeking asylum, just disappeared.” Lindsay Toczylowski represents 31-year-old Andry, a gay makeup artist from Venezuela who was flown to a notorious prison by the Trump administration after seeking asylum in the U.S. MORE: www.cbsnews.com/news/venezue...

My Dutch-American family and their greenhouses:

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

The massacre of 15 emergency and paramedics in Rafah is one of the worst incidents I can remember and I have yet to see any serious response. "Those responsible must be held accountable" said Foreign Secretary David Lammy. What are you doing for this to happen? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

I think Tofu shrunk

This is a fantastic piece of rigorous, in-depth reporting. It will make you want to pass out with rage. But definitely read it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is pretty good. Give it a watch if you need a little morale boost.

Seems like plainclothed agents who obscure their faces, roaming the streets, and kidnapping a student who is there on a valid visa without a warrant, in broad daylight, is a sign of how things are escalating in the US.

wouldn’t an ever expanding interior of a house be a net gain? i don’t get what the navidsons are losing their minds about

now it is free on my floor gee makin me real distressed tho tryin to clean but i'm like woah spilled that old espresso

Teen Vogue rocks, has rocked, and will continue to rock

I agree. Also referring to Trump as a felon is bad messaging because people convicted of felonies deserve rights and our respect.

Sharing information is more critical than ever and helping to defend our immigrant communities and neighbors is one clear action that we can all take right now.

Folks are gonna dunk on the Trump voter and I get that but don’t sleep on the more disturbing part of the story:

Printable 2x4 labels (& more) in this thread. Full sheets at bit.ly/4kOXREP: load your labels, print, stick 'em up wherever. (Don't be a jerk.) Will this magically solve things? No. But it helps like-minded people to take their own actions, by letting them know they're not alone. ❤️👊

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

“The United States was added Sunday to the CIVICUS Monitor Watchlist, a research tool that publicizes the status of freedoms and threats to civil liberties worldwide.” time.com/7266334/us-h...

And so it’s starting…

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

if you are a democrat who is retreating on and abandoning trans people, you are evil and throwing all trans people under the bus won’t stop them for coming after you next

If what you’re saying can’t be said without using misogynistic/transphobic language maybe it has absolutely no value at all

Going to bed hours later than planned because I found a dog on petfinder and the dog in the background of the photo looks exactly like my dog, Tofu. I would do anything to find this dog

Higher Ed needs to stand together against this and all federal overreach (cuts to research funding, etc) targeting our industry. Institutions with large endowments should lead the way.
