Race as a construct is so powerful that only now are many people saying ‘they are killing us’.
They have been killing us. We have all been us the whole time.

is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

That’s interesting because I was yelled at on here for suggesting Democratic leadership should not be fucking terrified to talk about anything other than affordability.

77 percent of Democrats want to abolish ICE.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

they literally want to destroy our "way of life" - the basic notions of voting in your leaders, deliberation over policy choices, schools for your children, home ownership - they cannot abide it any longer. even the sitting vice president is expressly anti american and wants the experiment ended now

there's a desperation to slam the lid shut on our teetering democratic system. theres an urgency because they fear, probably correctly, that their existence has become such that a society of free people can no longer tolerate them. it's their pile of money or us, and they're choosing their money

The utter disorganization, incompetence, ill discipline, and lack of training here is staggering.
Being there at all is deliberate provocation. They're not protecting anything. ICE could lie low, or leave entirely. But no, they want to incite a violent response to justify further violence.

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Reminder that two weeks ago, the US government had $900 billion to give to the military to be able to do things like commit war crimes in Venezuela, but they cut precisely the same amount in healthcare for poor and disabled folks in July, and millions more people are losing healthcare as we speak.
