Diversity of tactics still means diversity of tactics. It's also not helpful to scream at people to do more when the crowd is mostly elderly & disabled. Warranted criticism of marches to nowhere has turned into "all protests that don't end in mayhem are useless" which is also demobilizing!

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

if i ever teach a class on argumentative writing i am going to use these paragraphs as an example of how to NOT write persuasively for an audience.

Hot take, and I'm all for harsh scrutiny towards dem officials, but this is just ageist and not really legit criticism?

85 year old congressman Steny Hoyer speaking at an anti-DOGE rally cries, "We're gonna win! We're gonna win! We're gonna win! We're gonna win! We're gonna win! We're gonna win!"

And while I'm talking about dialogue-free animated films, Robot Dreams is another that I HIGHLY recommend. i watched it during a flight and bought the Blu Ray as soon as I got home. Beautiful film!

Military says "Nah, we good," to orders that they discriminate against transgender servicemembers. Add to this that Pete Hegseth got booed by military families, and we may be seeing something really importantly good happening, here. (original image reposted with alt text)

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

Sweeping Ohio higher education bill moves ahead without clear definition of DEI The bill was passed out of the Senate Higher Education Committee Wednesday without any changes despite 8 1/2 hours of opposition testimony the previous day. by Amy Morona signalcleveland.org/ohio-senate-...

signalcleveland.orgSenate Bill 1 moves ahead still with no clear definition of DEIOne criticism of Senate Bill 1 is that it would eliminate all diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, work at Ohio colleges.

It’s incredible that tech companies that were once seen as the most progressive places, fostering innovation and creativity have now become regressive robber barons synonymous with toxic masculinity and repression. Absolute power always corrupts absolutely.

Facilitating the mass sexual abuse of children to attack the LGBTQ+ community

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

whatever bespoke hypothetical thing you mean by "end social justice practices in the workplace", this version that they mean is the actual, concrete political project confronting labor and the left right now. move accordingly

Fight For A Union@fightforaunion.bsky.social

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law. Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

corporate DEI was always ~90% wokewashing, though the government versions of it had more teeth. but even it it was a smokescreen, the anti-DEI movement is *also* a smokescreen for bringing back explicit white supremacy

William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social

I honestly don’t functionally disagree that a lot of DEI stuff has been annoying, pointless and some of it even actively counterproductive, I just think the backlash is several million times worse than whatever the issues were. It’s like murdering someone for chewing loudly.
