“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.

Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Something smart people need to continually learn is that powerful people are thinking a lot less hard than you are and there is not a secret or clever meaning a ton of the time- in a way that can make those of us unused to thinking about the interiority of the rich and powerful uncomfortable.

If George Soros held an Oval Office press conference explaining his plans for the Biden administration and then the State Department awarded a nine figure contract to the Open Society Foundations then Washington D.C. would’ve consisted of mostly ash and blood within 72 hours.

I can't believe people say Elon is a Nazi just because he wants concentration camps, politically supports Nazis, financially supports Nazis, and sometimes does the Nazi salute when he is excited

The @sivav.bsky.social piece on phones and youth well being is so, so good, and this is the crux of it. I’m no fan of phones *inside classrooms*, but shoving the blame for youth anguish onto phones lets adults skate on the moral injury we inflict on our kids.

You will never succeed at fighting right wing disinfo with facts. Right wingers believe the first thing they hear & they'll believe it for life. They'll fight to the death about some inconsequential bullshit they just heard 5 seconds ago. You beat them by calling them weird assholes & isolating them

When the wealthy person I have to socialize with from time to time wondered why service had gotten so bad in restaurants I said “well a million people died of Covid” they responded “I thought only old sick people died” “the deadliest job during the pandemic was line chef” they shrugged
This has already been done to a lot of people in the US, to be sure. But as climate change worsens we are going to see greater and greater portions of the population liquidated for profit and to maintain ruling class control. We’d better start seeing through their lies right now.
