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.

Literally sobbed after watching this movie. Also, really interesting how they used the twin towers as an allegory for ________.....
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)

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