there has been research documenting that men overestimate how much women are speaking by a large margin, to the point where if a woman is speaking 30% of the time, she is perceived as “dominating” the conversation (a fun fact I got from Deborah Tannen)

Of all the terrible things Roberts has done, this was the most shocking stat: "the right-wing majority has used the shadow docket to uphold Trump’s actions roughly 90 percent of the time, repeatedly bailing him out of any obligation to follow the law"
There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.
Alice Wong
Alice Wong had an outsized impact on Disability justice. As a community organiser, activist, mentor, and co-conspirator, as writer, editor, and friend, she is irreplaceable.

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

as always it's very telling who gets to be a kid just making mistakes (25-35 year old Republican operatives praising Hitler) and who is a full fledged adult who must face the lifelong consequences of their decisions (Black teenagers, college students protesting genocide)

It’s like listen to Black people. Give Black people the mic. Believe Black people. Elevate Black people. What’s so hard?! It vanishes a lot of problems overnight. But it’s the one thing they don’t want to do.
Also a lot of leftists and “activists” amd organizers
Think Black people needing white interpeters and wranglers is
“Anti racism”
Which is why so many NGO’s and media orgs hire white folks for be translators and “create platforms” that buckle under racism from within

You didn’t recognize fascism when Black people faced harassment by law enforcement, were beaten and bitten by dogs while advocating for equal rights. Or when police bombed a Black community in Philadelphia. You failed to recognize fascism when it impacted others. Now we’re here.

I too remember when it was perfectly normal to be hit on by adult men when I was 13 and barely had breasts. Nobody did a thing, not even the police.
