Something I remind myself of regularly is that there are millions of people who care about the same things that I do and/but the gulf between caring and knowing what to do is wide.

BlueSky can come up with all kinds of tools, and it should. But we can’t “technologize” our way out of white supremacy. If BlueSky wants to thrive, white liberals and progressives are going to have to interrogate and annihilate their relationship to white supremacy.

yet evidently these people experience bsky as a place where they are “swarmed by aggressive trolls” - and that sucks. we need user tools to shut that down - thanks @safety.bsky.app @pfrazee.com for prioritizing this

Was Minority Report the movie where they wiped people's memories clean? I feel like that's what's happened in U.S. culture more generally over the past several years. And I think it's accelerating. Anyone else relate to this?

As a 501c3 corporation, the Heritage Foundation is not allowed to participate in politics, much less publish manifestos. Download the Project 2025 pdf from their website & attach it to IRS Form 13909 and challenge their tax exempt status. Here's their EIN # 23-7327730 And instructions (email!)

I hope everyone takes care. These are difficult times. We need as many people as possible to be focused and to be engaged in action where they are and within their capacity. Be ruthless in cutting out lots of noise and also letting go of what is not in your control.

yes, they’re hypocrites. pointing it out is pointless because that’s the whole point: there are in-groups who the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups who the law binds but does not protect that’s their whole platform. that’s the appeal. not only do they not care, they’re actively into it

I think a lot about the fact that a lot of people don't have safe places in real life to say to someone else: "I'm really scared." So people use social media for that but don't preface the posts with: "I'm really scared." It usually comes out as "we're all doomed and gonna die" or as jokes.

This is really no time to insult people for being afraid.

Ridiculous to say the shooting today was staged, when it was clearly a battle between rival time travelers

Most writing is just inventing hot people who want to fuck and then coming up with reasons they can't. And in that way, I understand God.

People who are assuring us that this means Trump is going to win are clearly unfamiliar with the deeply weird lore of this country's THREE mid-seventies presidential-candidate assassination attempts.

I believe them that they will do this almost immediately upon taking office again. I have lots of questions about what we do on Left(s) about this. Who is working on this now? [I'm sure some groups must be]

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

People in every field probably think the same thing. "Damn, is programming a uniquely good environment for sex pests?" "Damn, why are there so many sex pests in philosophy?" Everyone thinking somehow their specialized field is the outlier in number of sex pests.

I often wonder if abusive people are drawn to the arts, or if a certain amount of notoriety just makes people turn to shit. I am involved in a lot of different art scenes, and every single one has a whisper network about some big names who nobody feels they can address directly.
