Following on the overwhelming response to last week's column, I wrote a second dispatch imagining how the Musk takeover would be covered by the US media if it was happening overseas, and they felt comfortable calling a spade a spade.... www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...

Who gets the benefit of the doubt?A teenager tagged by cops as a gang member b/c he shops at a particular bodega or wears the wrong color? A Black man the NYPD decides is “furtively walking”? OR a white man from apartheid S.A. who posts antisemitic/racist stereotypes & endorses the Nazi adjacent 1/

In 2020, I asked why so many Republicans had abandoned the values they had previously held. Still relevant.

Listen and read what @fpwellman.bsky.social has to say. He knows what he’s talking about and he says it clearly and with intent.

The distraction and rage bait cycles are meant to tear and wear us down. Be smart and keep your emotions focused.

Are they distractions or not?
We're told not to fall for distractions but maybe they are all misdirections instead

The reason generative AI is banned in my classroom is both that process is part of learning and also using some programs' words without attribution is wrong, of course, AND ALSO it is a bullshit generator powered by intellectual property theft.

Good morning democracy defenders! Just a reminder that the circus Trump is creating around the cabinet nominations is a feature, not a bug. He wants to distract with chaos so you can't focus. Don't fall for it.

We know that for years the RW media have been demonizing Democrats as communists who literally hate our country and want to destroy it. So, what are the very few, and brief, messages that can counter that? And what is a coherent strategy for distributing those messages to a targeted audience?
