look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

I get the sense a lot of people (even in media) think that the disproportionate volume of Weiss Nuzzi Douthat types is just pure classist nepotism and genuinely don't understand this is an active, intentional, very successful project to undermine informed consensus with pseudo-journalistic cack

America narrowly missed another major news network falling into Trump's personal patronage system. We need to fund independent media. Our funding goal is ambitious for a publication our size, but a rounding error compared corporations and men like Ellison. Help us meet it gofund.me/31dac76b6

It's so jarring to see how truly out of touch executives and upper management are, not just with what the public wants and expects, but with what their organizations actually even do

Still in awe of the people of Chicago. Trump and his party spent so much time trying to get them to give him some sliver of fake reason to do the insurrection act, and there was so much discipline from the Chicago area: sustained resistance, while not giving trump what he wanted

This is what the elites who installed Trump did it for. Not the only reason, but the main one. This is the explicit outcome they were trying to engineer.
The unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 8.3% in November. That's more than double the rate for white workers.

I would say that you have to train yourself to focus on the actual people who care about you & who you care about/respect. Also you have to really live into your values. Both of those things will help you weather the opinions of strangers. I think that's different than not giving a fuck.
It takes training and conditioning to not give a fuck what people think. Contrary to popular belief, even if you’re born with the ability society and peer pressure will slowly make you give a fuck. You have to unlearn, recondition, and focus.
Not giving a fuck takes practice. Go practice.

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
