STOP TOUCHING SHIT!!! FUCK!

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

Holy crap chart from Gallup

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

He never disclosed that he’d visited Epstein in that column and did a lot of hand waving to insist that he and his fellow elites had nothing, nothing at all to do with him.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

I made a video last year about the double edged sword of meeting standards... those who do not venture beyond just become ... standard and how they take that as a personal attack. Diversity increases access for folks on roads less traveled, thus automatically stand out www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8y66Ua7/

Thank you Democrats! Your initiative here will never be forgotten

This is incredible, esp from a population who will do everything to avoid acknowledging discrimination via "i'm sure they were just having a bad day" minimization

The warning lights from the cryosphere have been flashing red for several years and governments and policymakers ignore this at their peril.

Moratorium on the words "billions" and "trillions" Scale is lost in translation These families are collectively $358,000 million richer and collectively have $2.9 million millions

CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other. It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

Americans are tired of what coastal elites have been shoving down their throats, so I think elevating fresh voices like the vice president, the head of one of the most valuable companies on the planet, a Times columnist, and a Jeffrey Epstein associate who teaches at Harvard is a risk worth taking.

🚨BREAKING: We just learned that the court in my lawsuit — Neguse et al. v. ICE — has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to immigration detention facilities. The rule of law will prevail.

we're in this mess because many ignored what was apparent. Now they're making it so that we are waiting for those insulated from harm structurally to see... meaning we're waiting not ONLY for extremes, but to impact the unaffected... what was once ignored wont even be detected

A former immigration judge alleged to DOJ that Trump fired her bc of her sex & national origin DOJ said equal employment opportunity laws don't supersede Trump's removal powers under Article II this is literally a claim to constitutional power to discriminate ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

The fact that it at least anecdotally seems to be a semi-regular practice to tell white people a minority got the job in order to soften the blow of rejection really should put the elite woke panic into perspective.

Loving the yearly reminder of how many entities are keeping record of every interaction with these year-end usage metrics

WhatsApp in my car offers up suggested responses for messages received. From a security perspective that is absurdly dumb: they now need to convince me they generate those messages locally, rather than by sending my "-to-end encrypted" messages to their AI machine on the internet.

At some point we'll have to call flooding by its real name... sea level rise. Eventually the waters will stop receding.

This article is 21 years old! "'I Did Not Get that Job Because of a Black Man...': The Story Lines and Testimonies of Color-Blind Racism" A lot of guys think this because they were let down easy by the recruiter. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

let me suggest that the impulse that leads someone to run to compact magazine to complain about DEI — "they took my job!" — probably does more to explain professional failure than DEI

Want to circle back to this because they have gotten what they want and a big part of what they’re doing is justifying why we should continue pushing Black people out of public life regardless of who’s in office.

On this day in 1945, the home of the Shorts, the first Black family to live in Fontana, California, erupted in flames, killing Mrs. Short and her two children. Mr. Short later died from his injuries.

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

Dropping this the same day as the sad white guy essay is diabolical work from Reuters and I salute it.

I know that everyone is like “oh the whole point of this is to destroy CBS, they actually want to run it into the ground” and I’m sure plenty of folks will be happy if they do but David Ellison and Bari Weiss don’t want that! they really think they’ve got something! they are just very bad at this

When ICE agents raid homes, when Medicaid is stripped from millions, and when unhoused populations are criminalized by Trump or Gavin Newsom, both politicians and media speak of “policy,” not “violence.” In this scheme, “political violence” can’t be what the system itself does. @eric-reinhart.com

As a person who has been studying extreme far right ideologies for the last decade (and did a PhD on immigration) I find the entrance of “remigration” into the mainstream American political lexicon so profoundly disturbing

get off the platform and go read the links you just opened

I'm sorry, but "I'm a Democrat who supports the Trump agenda but only because I represent a rural district & if I get elected U.S. Senator I'll be a good Democrat I promise" does not cut it anymore

It's easy enough to call for the abolition of a system. But knowing what a system does and knowing how and why it does those things are two very, very different things. Here's a great example. 99% of abolitionists I've spoken to do not know they could vote for judges in their jurisdictions.

One of the main themes of my account is that people in the United States, by and large, do not know how laws or the legal system work in practice. One question I get a lot is why this matters. Many leftists or progressives ask me every day why it's so important to know this stuff anyway. (cont)

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

We just murdered eight more people in boats.

Everyone in this admin, from the president on down, rushes to social media to put things out rather than act responsibly and prudently. Always looking to declare victory while seeking praise.

RFK Jr. is making sure that recent outbreaks of measles and whooping cough get worse—and might even add some more contagious diseases to the mix. This is what happens when, as Trump promised, RFK Jr. goes “wild on health.” From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/Bswg4TH
