Progressive men: y'all need to let go of this idea of a healthy version of men-only spaces and groups like men's/boy's clubs or retreats or workshops or whatever. I hear a lot about these as ways for men to form healthy intimate relationships with other men, but I think it's been definitively...

WaPo either knows this is false and published it anyway, OR they've become so captured by right wing politics that they're publishing right wing lies fully uncritically. Neither is better than the other and WaPo has confirmed their worthlessness. news.meaww.com/fact-check-d...

Actually, no child should ever be sentenced to prison, let alone DECADES there. You won't let kids transition because you're so afraid of life altering consequences, but you're fine with locking them in cages for years on end?

Expelled, arrested, fired, one was famously almost deported and missed the birth of his child when he was in immigration custody. But there's still actions for Palestinian lives. You just didn't care to find them. Just like you didn't care about Palestinian lives in 2024. uscpr.org/pro-palestin...

Before anyone chimes in with "wHaT aBoUt MaTriArChiEs", societies that we've categorized as matriarchies weren't oppressive to men, but were egalitarian, just with women holding certain positions of respect. They're not just patriarchy but reverso.

Men like this need to be infested with screwworms

NEW: Days after WIRED revealed that Meta had embedded an unreleased facial-recognition system in software distributed to more than 50 million users, the company appears to have removed it. www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

Talarico gave an absolutely bullshit, unacceptable, transphobic response to that trans rights question. Being opposed to gender affirming surgeries *that minors aren't getting* is nothing but playing into the bigoted fears of cis right wingers and feeding the "they're transing our kids" frenzy.

We have. Science explains it all. And it's explained by the earth being full of molten rock and metal. Explains the magnetic field too. Explains a lot of things and is very consistent

The type of HR lady I am

This is obscene. Mamdani literally ran on opposing this kind of capitulation. He went to the protest at NYU, who made the EXACT same decision for the EXACT same reason. It's notable there is NO federal law that pulls funding right now. The Kennedy Declaration is blocked in ocurt.

New piece inspired by the calandiva plant.

a glaring omission from much of the convo about the Delaney Hall labor and hunger strike imo is the fact that *these people shouldn't be laboring in the first place* this is slavery, & even the 13th Amendment's 'punishment for a crime' exception doesn't apply! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Jesse Brown of course left out the name when he was complaining about people protesting it.

This sort of verbal ass kicking is exactly why Sam Harris would never debate someone like Peter Beinart youtu.be/fzWTsGkdJpY?...

"On Thursday, June 4, several thousand people marched for the fifth night in a row through the streets of Tirana...protesting against luxury real estate ventures by Ivanka Trump, daughter of the US president, and her husband Jared Kushner..." www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Portland folks: there's an all ages micro-music festival tomorrow with a book fair! 12 noon to 10 PM tomorrow, proceeds will go to good causes including Portland's bail fund! Deets in link

This is one of the most horrific things they could possibly do. There's no doubting that the state of Israel is just evil at this point.

Bombing again in gaza

OPINION: "The path forward will require sustained, coordinated action and a sharper understanding of power beyond elections. It might also be time to redefine what Black power is and where it resides," Lakeisha Hood Moïse and Kamilah A. Pickett write.

I absolutely believe Platner's ex girlfriend.

A robust, labor-focused left in 2026 wouldn't be a bulked up white man with a hammer and sickle, it would be a pharmacy technician in Kansas, or a nurse in New York City. Both of whom have been at the center of nasty union fights in recent times.

Look at the first sponsored result when you search famine in Gaza…. It’s a propaganda ad by the govt of Israel, demonizing the victims of their genocide. It’s despicable that search engines are being weaponized like this to assist in genocide.

They never want us talking about the low rates or how difficult shoots are. You raise your voice and you risk not being invited back to set. Very happy to see the crew of Obsession slowly talking about their experience

All this is doing is causing people to hate Israel even more. The punishing and silencing are not stopping people from recognizing what Israel is doing. It's not stopping people from speaking out.

I wish this article existed before we recorded this episode.... And where even is the triangle? 🫠

Here’s a little complimentary Bonus ep for Premium Patrons about the most recent bad faith campaign whipped up by supporters of Israel www.patreon.com/posts/premiu...

Persepolis is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen and it's so much more than the sum of its parts. Also I always sing "Eye of the Tiger in a French accent now". This is a terrible loss.

It's an awesome sign that the capitalists are losing right off the bat with calling socialism "me-first". That's like made in a lab to not convince anyone even just socialism curious.

And it's worth pointing out that Germany never de-nazified, and Nazi ideology was never truly rooted out from the German state. Kinda makes their unwaivering support for Israel make a lot of sense.

The weaponized claims of antisemitism to defend Israel are failing so hard now that they're panicking and calling everything antisemitic?

many of the faculty that have been fired were critics of the administration - a chilling and shameful episode we should be following, especially those of us in higher ed

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Racism isn't separate from all the ways the GOP is "shitting the bed" and their racism is not a distraction. It's a core failing. Racism and the rest of their bad policies are causally linked, bud. The ideology is coming from inside the house, bud.

Israel supporters having a normal one 👍🏽

Chow chased the boy for 130 ft away from his store before shooting him, a child, in the back. And somehow this jury ruled this was self defense.

Hi there, this is Evan of Assigned Media. I'm hard at work finalizing our efforts to leave Squarespace behind forever, and if you haven't heard we're going to have to (ugh) cancel all our member subscriptions and ask people to re-subscribe in our new system. That's capitalism, baby!

Happy Pride Month. If you know a young person (age 13-26) in the US who is getting their access to queer library books restricted because of local small-minded folks, please refer them to the Books Unbanned program. More people should know about it. #pride booksunbanned.com/card

So are you proposing that we ignore racism? That we coddle the feelings of racists? What exactly is your "radical realist" strategy, here?

Happy Pride Month! I love being the bisexual stereotype. It's as fun as you think it is.

Hey folks, are helmets "arms"? What about gas masks? What is the purpose of a shield?

Free speech has hours of operation. That's how you know it's free. It's only allowed during certain times of day.
