As someone who remembers Shinzo Abe's assassination very well, there's going to be a lot of conflicting and unclear information for a few hours and longer, and a lot of people are about to show their buttholes with their hot takes - don't be one of them

just watched a tiktok where a white lady griped about someone’s vocal fry and then she immediately put on a fake aave accent to index sassiness. ma’am. attend to the plank in your own eye before you try to remove the speck in someone else’s

incredible how quickly we went from women using “eyebrow blindness” to poke fun of themselves having gone overboard with the 2018 brow makeup to people just commenting it at any woman they hate to try and hurt her feelings

yet another morning where i go outside fully intending to relax (i brought out a deck chair!! a ukulele!!!!) and then i can’t deal with the idea that there are weeds everywhere so instead i just do weeding for an hour

idk about you, but we learned in middle school history class that dehumanizing a group of people is a precursor to genocide

“We will hold investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington,” Posobiec said. “We don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity.” inthesetimes.com/article/nati...

"we don't negotiate with un-humans" "battle" Their language is very serious, and we should take the at their word.

Think about which groups fall under "unhuman." Those are the stakes.

ok the ending is kind of a mess but I’m working on it www.instagram.com/reel/C9TyWpn...

We need the higher ed media to better describe what's at stake here. These are not "reforms," they're an authoritarian takeover. They're not "bold" or "sweeping," they're undemocratic and fascist. These aren't normal policy recommendations, they're a dismantling of higher education!

Oregon being in the national news is always bad (see: Grants Pass criminalizing homelessness) with only one consistent exception, and that is when Wyden or Merkley throw the full force of their senatorial weight behind some long-overdue progressive cause to help finally move it forward

It's not every day that senators ask the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate a sitting Supreme Court justice. What's more, the case against Clarence Thomas is quite credible. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Oregon has had 6 straight days of record breaking heat and the Oregon GOP just tweeted out the "This is fine" meme, only unironically.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

right wing think tanks are making thinly veiled threats of political violence, the Supreme Court has neutralized the regulatory power of broad swaths of government, and the fate of the executive branch depends on whether the 81 year old atop it can learn to breakdance or something. Happy July 4th
