bring back shame
NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

The Indiana Fever needs to move the team to another city and leave those fans behind. I was happy to see the Fever defeat the Aces but it was entirely sullied by what happened to A'ja. And that the security team didn't think it was important enough to escort him out of the building is just shameful.

Just read Candace Buckner's @theathletic.com piece on the WNBA's drama and made the mistake of reading the Comments section. It's barely a step up from YouTube's and some of those guys (b/c they're almost always men) sound like they took a wrong turn on their way to Twitter. Won't do that again.

A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

NPR is honestly starting Pride month off right with this story. Yes, dismantling workplace anti discrimination laws, tools, and rules is related to Pride month. It’s not only a reminder that Pride is a protest and that an attack on one marginalized group is an attack on us all.

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong
One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

One thing that makes me really sad is that there wasn’t a massive non-cooperation movement that rose up instantly for Colbert, the way it did for Kimmel. I know the circumstances were different and I am not begrudging Jimmy anything. Loved him since I was 16. I’m just saying Colbert deserved it too.

Should be on front pages every day until people are held accountable. I know, that’s a laugh.
The NYT reported that the firm building Trump's ballroom received a no-bid contract for $17.4 million. I earlier revealed the same company got nearly 2X that — $34 million — in a separate no-bid contract to demolish historic buildings at DHS headquarters. www.theredoubt.net/exclusive-no...

Great essay. It's also interesting that Trump threatens Iran for killing its protesters while his thugs essentially do the same thing (not that they're all protesters). He's fine with being a foreign invader of countries but wants to kick out the foreigners in the US, esp if they're not white.
wrote about the occupation in minnesota with a closing note on how the white house has exactly one tactic — repression with goons — but no particular strategy for dealing with entrenched resistance. gift link.
Yikes. This is the failed essay that got the TA fired. Just a complete lack of understanding of what religious discrimination is vs the critical thinking required for academic analysis.
