Important not to forget with all that is going on: Republicans will likely try to end almost abortion access in the US if the elections go their way this fall. Those are the stakes, period. [slate.com]

Don’t Be Fooled By the Gauzy Coverage of the GOP’s “New” Abortion Platformslate.com Reactions from conservative advocates reveal that this platform is just as harsh as it has been in the past.

This whole thing felt like a fairly mundane discourse topic initially. Everybody involved logging off seemed like a good thing for the mental health of everyone involved. It becoming this huge thing seems entirely oriented around the reactionary discourse that’s come after

IDK who the first person to express this sentiment was, but: "When people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small, but barely anyone in the present really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small."

What are people doing w/neighbors & friends to create & nurture networks of collective care & mutual aid? What small but significant (or super size me and spectacular, and everything in between) actions & practices are people talking about, preparing for, or taking?

A lot of people on this site have zero idea what intersectionality is and it shows. You aren’t being progressive when you stack rank various kinds of oppression like you’re making a fucking tier list of marginalized identities, people.

Certainly. It doesn’t feel great! I just am not getting from it any indication that he somehow likes or wants to defend Trump. At best it’s CYA’ing

My friend Clippy likes to make his dragon big on occasion. I may have taken it to absurd levels.

it's my absolute favorite holiday of the year when the entire U.S. news industry turns itself into a giant blogspam affiliate for a single massive billionaire-owned retailer with absolutely nobody in any position of editorial authority thinking that's in any way unethical or gross

And every single time there is much theorizing over what it means or what’s really in play or whatever when it is literally like. 3-10 people having a garden variety internet argument and dozens or hundreds more rubbernecking over it

I’ve yet to experience someone being “run off of” a website that wasn’t “being mildly criticized by few enough people to comfortably fit in a room together” i will just say

Oftentimes every primary party involved deletes their account and then there’s tertiary discourse that goes on for months about who really ran who off the internet. It’s so stupid.

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

On some level i kind of understand the position he’s in; i wouldn’t be surprised if he lowkey agreed with sentiment but can’t risk the optics? Not to say we shouldn’t be disappointed

Like i am not really taking this as indication of anything about his personal beliefs at all, this feels li damage control
