pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

If Miller is forced out of the Administration because of his defamation of Pretti he can always return to his former job, eating small rodents live.

Doctors without Borders is very likely going to give up the names of Palestinians working with them in order to stay in Isreal. That decision is rooted in the difference between solidarity and charity.
Doctors Without Borders have effectively signed death warrants.

Begging you not to let Wael’s Tarabishi’s story get lost amidst all the horrors.
He was a 30 year old disabled man. His dad was his full time caregiver.
ICE took his dad away.
Wael said it would kill him. He said the fear was “real & immediate”.

one of the most significant indicators of maturity and personal power to me is the two-sided clarity of BOTH 1) being graciously able admit when you were wrong, and own it, and 2) also having the capacity to refuse to abandon your own side when you are falsely maligned
my fav @prisonculture.bsky.social cut is not “let this radicalize you,” nor “hope is a discipline,” but her observation that most people, regardless of their values, will do anything to avoid losing face. being willing to risk that is a quality i will spend the rest of my life cultivating.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

We are dealing with Trump 2 because of this. Dems are always all "awww we know you made a mistake it's OK we forgive you just don't do it again" to white supremacists and every one of you looks like a goddamn idiot. They're done. No hope. Fuck em
I will never understand the rush to forgive white supremacist fanboys for the harm they enabled as soon as they decide it isn't fun to be hateful anymore. Sure there are some who have actively worked to make amends, but tons more will pay lip service and then start the cycle all over again
