I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

You want to know how I feel about AI in education? I feel like I spilled jam all over my house and now I’m just resigned to walking in jam for the rest of my life. #edusky

True of the slaveholders, true of the segregationists and true of their racist descendants and ideological heirs today.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

The Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it. The way this manifests these days is by their dogged focus on the digital creation of child sexual abuse material.

"Courtesy of DailyKos writer Oliver Willis, here is a succinct and correct English-language sentence on the matter: 'Susan Collins is financed by a man who wants to make it easier to create nude pictures of children.'”

This is the weirdest request for input that I've seen in a while. It's almost like the ACM is sitting at the table with the "change my mind" sign. So, let's do it. Short thread with the input I gave them:

This is a perfect illustration of why I have no faith in US mainstream journalism to protect us from anything.🤷🏿‍♂️ This is their idea of holding some people accountable: going to their banquets and causing fleeting, awkward moments, seconds before accepting an award from them and shaking their hand.

Wolf Blitzer just presented the Wall Street Journal an award for uncovering Trump's ties to Epstein and reveals Trump doxxed the journalist's home address in his lawsuit causing her to move. Trump is sitting humiliated on stage as Karoline Leavitt comforts him.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Replying to @nanjala.bsky.social

But when it comes to cutting aid budgets no one says “let’s spend less money on Israeli or Egyptian military capacity”. Instead you want to start by taking healthcare and education away from people who have been made vulnerable by the structural injustices you create and benefit from.

I was to give a talk at a big US Attorney's Office next week abt the complicity of German lawyers in the creation of the Nazi state. Yesterday the Justice Department cancelled it. Irony is dead. I've got an op/ed on this I'm looking to place. Help appreciated. #LawSky #Skystorians #Holocaust

I spoke with immigration organizer Silky Shah about how organizers are preparing to defend immigrant communities, and what actions we can take to prepare and respond. If you want to get more involved, be sure to check the resources in the show notes.

truthout.orgHow Immigration Organizers Are Gearing Up for Another Trump Era“It’s inherently a racial justice fight and economic justice fight,” says organizer Silky Shah.

But you know, fining and imprisoning people will magically also allow them to get a job and enough money to afford rent.

A staggering statistic: Every $100 increase in median rent is associated with a *9 percent* increase in the estimated homelessness rate, according to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The math of our housing crisis is brutally clear.

This whole thread.

We should be specific when we say "tech", whether we mean the fascist overlords, or some kid who works at an Apple Store. The folks who organized unions at Amazon and Google are people, too, and are more _tech_ than any of the tycoons.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Zane Schacht - Voice Goblin@voicesbyzane.bsky.social

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

You are up to date.
