Warnock is helps folks to understand why elections won't defeat fascism. Only social movements can.
So now Dem senators are just espousing MAGA talking points about ICE?

tip for parent management: my parents were asking me about chatGPT, and have some friends who love it, and none of my attempts to caution them were as successful as just sending them the Wikipedia page for AI hallucinations

Reading a book from the 1840s and it repeatedly censors "damn" as "d---" because that's too profane to publish.

Anyway the book jumpscared me 374 pages in with a casual n word drop.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

As a Minneapolitan, absolutely not. He's great with a soundbyte when national conservatives are his foil. But he's a petty jerk who badly screwed up management of the George Floyd crisis, and has created a toxic culture at City Hall that has stymied anything constructive getting done in the city.

By having Bari Weiss turn the CBS Evening News into a propaganda outlet for Trump and Netanyahu, I shall mold the minds of all the Gen Z-ers and Millennials who watch the CBS Evening News.

Bari will never explicitly say "it's fine for masked agents of the state to murder civilians." But she will say, again and again, that the people who are upset about masked agents of the state murdering civilians are hysterical, illegitimate, censorious liars.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and Trump's personal Gestapo is randomly executing American citizens. But at least now there won't be any non-binary characters on the new Paw Patrol spin-off.

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.

Corporate media must recognize they're being openly lied to—and report accordingly.

People are skeptical about the decline in numbers of people who read books in the U.S. but you only need to talk with high schoolers to see that it's not overblown. It's part of the reason that the revival of zines is important IMO because they make reading and writing less daunting.

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways.

1. This weekend, far-right group Lets Go Washington announced that it had collected enough signatures to get a trans sports ban on the ballot in the state.

The bill includes genital inspection provisions.

It is one of the first to go forward in a blue state.

The initiative collected 400,000 signatures, and will be one of the first major attempts to get an anti-trans law onto the ballot in a state that has dubbed itself a "refuge" for transgender people.
