I guess for all the new followers I’ve been getting (especially from the Black Furries starter line), I should say hello and welcome!! I’m a professor of sociology who studies racial criminalization, Black racialized identity development, and I’m also a rabbit who arts!

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

Every sign in DC marks the loss of someone’s neighbor, someone’s loved one, someone’s friend.

Every sign marks yet another step in the march toward authoritarianism.

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’

The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.

Also important to consider the Elaine massacre specifically and how it was a backlash to Black labor rights.

What an unfortunate coincidence that I’m talking about this and the Wilmington Coup of 1898 on Monday in my Violent Crime class…

I’m teaching abt Red Summer today, when white vigilantes & National Guardsmen across the country harassed, detained, assaulted, & murdered Black Americans as part of a backlash against Black military service in WWI.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Counterpoint: Everyone in this treasonous illegitimate administration should be hauled before Nuremberg 2.0 and pay with their lives for the fucked up shit they've done.

“What we don’t want to become the norm is where people think, ‘OK, there’s a new administration, now everyone in the old administration gets prosecuted. That’s an incredibly dangerous cycle where nobody wins.”

Experts fear impact of deepening polarization and perceived political prosecutions

Reforms enacted after Watergate to bolster public confidence in the impartiality of prosecutions are proving dated and ineffective, legal experts warn.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 4d

I keep waiting for the powers that be in media to grasp the concept of bad faith, realize how often "restore trust in news" and similar statements mean "stop doing journalism, lie more in ways I like," come from people ideologically committed to destroying trust in news, and can never be satisfied.

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 4d

I too am keen to "restore trust in news" by turning a major broadcast network into a 24/7 slurry of right wing culture war propaganda and engagement trolling

The 90s had a lot of missteps but the then-earnest belief in diversity and multiculturalism brought on by post-Cold War optimism was one of it better fruits

Republican policy is increasingly framed around the idea that accurately describing what they are doing is worse than doing it.

They just got a Supreme Court ruling co-signing racial profiling as "common sense." So I guess the court smeared them.
