finally. elizabeth shaffer will bring respect to the c suite
Dems concede based on norms and (naively!) trying to avoid future conflict *way too much* as we all know. In the context of an unrestrained executive, and an OMB director clearly willing to obey his instructions... why give the Republicans *anything* during negotiations without addressing *that*?
This is an incredibly important point imo.

As I sold out of my original Nospurratu vampire kitty this year I decided to create another one, because no matter how hard you try, you can't keep Dracula down for long!

State violence is still violence. It is, arguably, one of the most dangerous kinds.

We cannot have a free society if the government can detain, demean, and deport people at its whim. Full stop.
The Charlie Kirk Resolution currently debated in the #wiass is Senate Bill 88.

88 is a very famous code for “Heil Hitler” among Wisconsin Nazis.

Make of that what you will!

"cancel culture" was an overblown thing where some people got fired for sexually harassing their employees and others got yelled at on Twitter. The conservative version, which some claim as an inevitable counterbalance, is doxxing & death threats for making fun of self-proclaimed white supremacists.

Tilt is great, not sure who this "David Bowie" guy is tho bsky.app/profile/theq...
Looking back at Bowie's Outside and Walker's Tilt, both released 30 years ago, Ned Raggett says the pair might not have met but the energy of respect and influence travelled between them in strange ways

Many Happy Returns to #DavidBowie's Outside, which turns 30 today!

Yesterday, @omarfatehmn.com campaign office was vandalized in an Islamophobic attack.

We condemn this threat in the strongest possible terms.

In this moment, it is crucial that we stand with everyone who makes Minneapolis home and build a city where we lift up everyone.

Women’s March is proud to back @sbworkersunited.org baristas’ demands for a fair union contract. And if they’re forced to go on strike, we won’t cross the picket line and we’ll get our coffee elsewhere!
This was always, inevitably going to happen once masked, armed, unidentified agents started nabbing people off the street under the broad direction of the federal government. There is no just or safe way to do *that*, and it always makes space for other horrors. bsky.app/profile/lexi...
new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

Who among us wouldn’t love to be continued to be talked to by Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer!!
Chuck Schumer declines to say whether he'll endorse Zohran Mamdani, giving the same reply three times: "I'm going to continue talking to him."
