what Americans seem to want is to be able to buy whatever product they want without government interference but also an ironclad guarantee that all store-sold products are safe, and we just need to recognize that these are contradictory ideas and we're gonna have to make people mad about the former
bsky folks are saying this woman made a bad decision and obviously she did but the dairy is selling a self-refutingly irresponsible product -- they label the raw milk "not for human consumption" and sell it in milk bottles at health food stores for people to buy www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

if we are going to do this i'd like it to at least be acknowledged that this is another one way street in american politics where atheists are expected to treat christians and their beliefs with kid gloves and the opposite is never, ever reciprocated

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

there's an actual genre of analysis that acknowledges that for generations people used to buy and sell other humans, aided by a comprehensive system of apartheid that continued for generations later, but nevertheless blames the resurgence of open bigotry on a decade or so of cringe Tumblr posts

16 million people are losing their healthcare and hospitals are already closing because of it but it’s a win because one of the bottom tier fast food restaurants is going to start selling the same Mexican Cokes that you can already get at literally every store

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf
Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

I don't know how to feel about the very strong possibility that Trump's ability to consolidate the end of any semblance of U.S. Democracy and ensure there are no future Democratic presidents has been fatally weakened by his political mismanagement of the Epstein Files

the story of this administration is going to be a question of which wins out: the enthusiastic capitulation of elite American society to fascism or supercharged thermostatic backlash

It's very obvious that the NYT has put people in editorial positions who view it as part of their job to upset the left. This is, in the bizarro, insular world of US elites, seen as a way to restore balance & regain the trust of the right.

Putting aside the merits of the larger effort ...

These amorphous virtues of gentility that certain people love to invoke — nonviolence, civility, respectfulness, peacefulness, maturity — are worse than empty without accounting for differential power. A power differential is the difference between me running into a car, and a car running into me.
