And if you are thinking to yourself "self, why can't we get Tiffany to run for office again, we'll pay attention this time and elect the boring girl"

Then please go donate to a food bank in Maine, tell them that's where I said resources should go, and tell 5 friends.

We should elect community.

There are Mainers still pressing him for more transparency on this and his Reddit comments.

Unless Sydette meant the coverup tattoo?

Turned out the "1919" was part of an Appalachian Mountain Club tattoo, not a Nazi dogwhistle.

The “left” made sure there’s no way to actually stop them from racism and people thought it was an accident or a rationale

Rather than a core principle of their organizing

I believe in redemption for everyone. I do. It's a part of my abolitionist makeup. I believe anyone who genuinely wants to do the work can be redeemed.

I also believe that redemption is not forgiveness. See, the people I've wronged in my life are under no obligation to forgive me,

For so many white people, especially cis white men, "redemption" means even being a repeated sexual predator for public office *cough Andrew Cuomo cough*. Redemption for cis white men means being placed in positions of power not after reparative work, but after the passage of time.

i am extremely certain there are untold thousands of palestinian victims, of all genders and ages, who have been subjected to systematic mass rape by the occupying forces. untold and untellable numbers because of how many of the victims are now dead. we will never know the true number.

it's the same reason we are seeing epidemic levels of sexual violence in ICE custody. this is how patriarchal regimes work.

publicly openly sexually threatening greta is effectively an admission--a gloat, really--of what they are doing to palestinians.

Over one summer my friend Ben, who was working as a part-time lifeguard, pulled SEVENTEEN people out of the waters off a Cornish beach when they got into difficulties and that was long before ChatGPT was a thing, so I guess people are going to die.

Two people check tide times with ChatGPT, almost die.

And follow my logic here: People are not magically going to decide to spend their spare time on media literacy. But they do hate having their time wasted and AI Slop promises to waste a LOT of our time in the near future. We need to promise the opposite: efficient, easy to use and true.
