I spent the first 33 years of my life in Maryland and DC. The first thing to know about crime in DC is that the Epstein files still haven't been released.

There simply is no substitute for the time-, personnel-, & $$$-intensive way of providing quality education. That we don't want to pay for it, as a society, does not make this any less true, & AI cannot fix that. At best, it can poorly substitute for the real solution.

Sure we could reduce the student to teacher ratio, and create an education system that we know works for students. But that would cost money, so bring in the slop.

I particularly like this Jason person’s idea that Solnit gives Trump a pass. 😂😂😂 Too much time in the manosphere.
Could men who think anything I didn't pack into a single post is something I don't know or care about please take a very long hike? I know, I should just block them, and did with this Jason person.

Sen Booker still going 15hrs in. It's not the performative BS of Cruz reading Green Eggs & Ham. He's cataloguing the violations, deceptions, the breaches of national security, "mistaken" releases of classified info happening under Trump.

A thread worth reading. Full of great perspectives on managing expectations for our sanity and sustainable activism
Imma be honest. It's really easy for me to boycott. I'm broke. So many of us have already cut out any "extras" we used to enjoy say 5 years ago. I used to get my nails done pretty regular, eat out once a week, purchase clothes when I saw something nice, travel for concerts. All cut on my end.

"The Trump administration’s effort to end DEI programs is really an attack on decades of efforts by the federal government to make good on the promise of America: to engage in rigorous nondiscrimination efforts and open up opportunities for all." theconversation.com/60-years-of-...
60 years of progress in expanding rights is being rolled back by Trump − a pattern that’s all too familiar in US history
Donald Trump’s measures ending government diversity efforts are part of a much broader effort to reverse civil rights gains for all Americans. It’s not the first time such a backlash has happened.

A POTUS & SCOTUS untethered to the Constitution is a scary thing.
i think my position on this is that if it happens, it's unconstitutional. if the supreme court affirms it, it's still unconstitutional. it's an illegitimate and unlawful action and should be treated as such.
Apparently Trump just announced he is unilaterally ending birthright citizenship.
I would have ridiculed it as preposterous a few years ago.
Now? Well, watch the Federalist Society start holding seminars on why he’s right, and I am not confident this Supreme Court will disagree.

He’s checking all the fascism boxes.
It is easy to be hyperbolic in all political commentary, but one should be clear that Trump's rhetoric meets all the conventional definitions of fascism. Many people seem afraid of saying this because it seems extreme or hysterical, but it is what it is.
Fascism has come to America. What else can you say? These images are just from today.
He calls his enemies "vermin," wants to revoke media broadcast licenses, and foments hate against members of ethnic minority groups, whom he promises to deport by the millions in order to fix country's problems.
