2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

People are wondering why Gen Z is apolitical. They're not: they just don't see our generation of old folks caring about the same things that matter to them: gun violence, climate change, and the mass slaughter of Gazans right before our eyes. They couldn't care less about the stock market.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Dems need to stop focusing on what the other side is doing wrong and start uniting behind a clear message that offers folx hope for the future. This pearl-clutching and doomsaying didn’t work in 2016 and 2024, and no pandemic is going to save us in 2028.

California Democrat Eric Swalwell: “I’m friends with a lot of these guys, and I had wrongly assumed that what was holding them back from speaking out against Trump was they were afraid of losing their jobs, but what they’re afraid of is their own personal security."

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

#HomeOwnership rates play a key role in the widening racial wealth gap. By 2021, 74% of white households owned homes vs. 43% of Black households, making equity gains uneven. A professor explains: https://buff.ly/4ieZlpQ
@joelabriola.bsky.social, University of Michigan #wealthgap
Rising house prices don’t just make it harder to become a homeowner – they also widen the racial wealth gap
Housing market appreciation has been the primary driver of growing white-Black wealth disparities since the mid-1980s.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.

It's brutal.

And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.
