patriciadeanna: “Misinformation? Media literacy. Culture wars? Anthropology. Dog Whistles? Communications. Historical amnesia? Humanities and art history. Mass behavior? Psychology. Tell me again which degrees are ‘worthless.’ If the social sciences were really ‘worthless,’ your timeline wouldn’t collapse every time context walks into the room. And don’t get me started on Cultural studies (African, Women’s, Latin American, Native American, Asian American, African-American, etc.)”

Have you noticed that there’s no female loneliness epidemic? Maybe think on that for a couple of weeks.

Person A: “Single women that live alone with no boyfriend and husband, how do you survive?” Person B: “It’s not easy living alone. No man to open jars, plug in my charger, or explain how the TV remote works. I mostly wander the house in confusion, waiting for divine masculine intervention. Sometimes I drive myself places, but only when the moon is right, and I feel brave.”

quasi-normalcy (Seguir): “The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place. I’d just like to point out that every single thing that has happened in the 6 years since I created this post has only reinscribed its absolute moral correctness in my mind.”

“The sad fact is, if Tyler Robinson had used his gun to massacre students at Utah Valley University instead of just fatally shooting Charlie Kirk, Republicans wouldn’t care this much.” – Covie (@covie_93)

The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter. The man who targeted the home of Dem. Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter. The men who wanted to hang Vice Pres. Mike Pence on Jan. 5th were Trump supporters. The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter. The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter. The men who were convicted of trying to kidnap Dem. Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters. The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter. There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.

Carl Bernstein on CNN: “Trump presidency is worse than Watergate because the system worked in Watergate, the heroes of Watergate were republicans who demanded that the president be held accountable and conducted a bipartisan investigation whereas the republicans in Capitol Hill have done everything to undermine legitimate investigation.”

Benn Eifert (@bennpeifert): “If you’re worried about birth rates, try asking young couples how they feel about the amount of maternity and paternity leave they get, how affordable they find child care and housing and family health care.”

Eman Basher (@SometimesPooh): “Three things I learned during the Gaza genocide: silence is a choice, empathy has borders, and the world will watch you die if your death doesn’t fit their narrative. I learne that aid is negotiable, but bombs are punctual. That hashtags trend faster than ambulances, and children can vanish without shaking the global conscience. I learned that surviving becomes suspicious, and mourning must be filtered for public approval. But most of all, I learned that no matter how loud we scream, the world only hears what it wants to believe.”
