I have been thinking about digital spaces and how white liberals make them hostile for Black people who dare to have their own takes. You see this in thematically organized spaces like fandoms, and social platforms all over. I would love to see someone write a smart piece on this (dm me pitches)

Convicted felon Donald Trump was supposed to be sentenced today, before the Gang of Six on the stolen supreme court re-wrote the rules for him. There's no rule of law in the United States while the courts remain captured.

Scholars often ask me what they can do, and this is a tangible thing. State and local media are, in particular, hungry for opinion pieces from experts. Lots of people targeting that media is more effective than lots of people trying to land that one NYT op-ed

Junior Scholars: Project 2025 is now breaking through to public consciousness. The more people learn about it, the more they hate it. Now is a great time to search that website, go to the section of your expertise, and write an oped. Keep the drip of bad news for them coming, all the way to Nov.

I mean, they are right *now* but with this Court anything's possible. That said, I wonder how much in cash and prizes it would actually take to turn a legendary Long Dong Silver enthusiast against pornography?

really stunned that, in all the reporting about Project 2025's goal of banning pornography, very few journalists are noting that pornography and sexual speech are protected by the First Amendment.

btw, Postcards to Voters does a lot of local-to-regional races — judges, school boards, special elections — so if you can’t engage with federal stuff out of principle or just exasperation, might be worth checking in on what they’re doing week-to-week

Addressed 60 voteforward.org envelopes this week and working on the notes today; 500 turnoutpac.org/postcards/ en route to me to prep and send in October; 360 postcardstovoters.org already in the mail. I am underemployed and addicted to buying stamps but my point is there are a lot of ways in here

People have forgotten about this because we all hate him now but a major dynamic in the PA-Sen race was people who were concerned about Fetterman’s facilities but way more personally repelled to the point of negative polarization by the attacks on him

I have been studying eastern DRC since 1997. Watching the same dynamics play out again & again, harming yet another generation of innocent children while the country's leaders, neighbors, & the international community fail them is a sadness beyond words.

teaching a U.S. history course that avoids talking about racism and its impacts on politics and policy is like drawing a map of the U.S. that avoids the Mississippi River watershed. it exists, it's right there in the middle touching everything else, it's an integral part of understanding the rest.

The many manifestations of racism — slavery, segregation, etc — were an integral part of not just African American history, but American history. Denying that reality and pretending racism wasn’t a serious problem is, in itself, racist.

Kind of weird that some democrats are asserting that republicans are guaranteed a victory while republicans are signaling that they cannot win by legitimate means.

Project 2025 authors at the Heritage Foundation are already alleging the next election will be stolen, claiming any result other than a Trump victory in November will have been the result of fraud and will be challenged.

Noticing that the reporters on the “but are there too many trans kids?” beat are not following up on the impact they’ve made as evidenced in the “trans kids forced out of school, home, and their states” stories

It can’t be because no trans orgs or trans kids or their families or teachers will talk to those reporters again, and are actively warning others not to do so, it can’t be

I have at different times been offered work by people who wanted to sleep with me and had my work ignored/overlooked by people who did not and both those things are ways abusers hijack businesses and industries to maximize their access to victims

Who in America leads a more alien detached life than Maureen fuckin Dowd you know what I mean? She’s out there writing op eds about young comedic firebrand Bill Maher. No editor is stopping her. She cannot understand human empathy.

Call your rep today to encourage them to support AOC’s articles of impeachment. I will block anyone who tells me why they, personally, cannot and therefore why it’s pointless.

the editor of the New York Times reacting to a potential Trump second term with “fasten your seatbelts” is so deeply vile i can’t wrap my mind around it. these people have detached themselves so completely from the things they cover that the rise of fascism becomes just something exciting to watch

I'm no ivy league fail upward brunchlord news professional, but I feel it's generous to call conspiratorial fascism (managed by a sociopathic manbaby with a fourth grade reading level) "disruptive" that's kind of like saying nuclear annihilation is "modifying"

Trump will try to litigate is way into office no matter what, and the MAGA Court will be sympathetic to Trump regardless of the merits of the case. Democratic leaders need to have contingency plans for what to do when the MAGA Court tries to install Trump as POTUS.
