It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Democrats should seriously consider a national ad campaign with clips of Republicans refusing to do their jobs, demanding they repay their congressional salaries.

Yes it does!

That stood out to me, too. "Well Hitler never murdered ME, so he's not all bad!" type shit.

The "being anti-Ai is ableist" thing is not only a condescending weenie take, but also untrue. Crappy AI substitutes for access don't work, but become a quick go-to excuse to take away real accommodations that do.

‘The right’s characterization of higher education is a fiction. …The conservative caricature of college campuses as liberal indoctrination camps persists because it is useful cover for the actual threats to intellectual freedom their movement supports.”

I'll believe that US conservatives might genuinely care about intellectual freedom when they start producing credible intellectuals.

Write to the school. If there's a parents contact, write to them directly. They take that into consideration and it helps make the case against it from the perspective of someone who is paying them.

Iowa recently shuttered it program in African American Studies, during Black History Month, no less, and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department. A university interested in intellectual freedom doesn’t shutter the very departments that emerged in response to movements for broader inclusion in mainstream American life.

Claiming to value "intellecutal freedom" while shutting down African American and Women's Studies reinforces the fact that the center is an authoritarian project, not a sincere attempt to expand intellectual life.

Didn't someone write a book about how Biden was old and how dangerous that could be?

This is paid for. AI is a bubble waiting to pop.

Three books sit on a background of dark wood planks. "A Mage's Power" by Casey Wolfe. The Inquisition Trilogy, Book 1. The book cover is a POV looking up at a starry night sky, trees of a forest lining the bottom. A runic magic circle sits in the center of the cover, behind the title, as well as wispy pinkish smoke. "A Vampire's Redemption" by Casey Wolfe. The Inquisition Trilogy, Book 2. The book cover has a lake surrounded by trees, a snow-capped mountain behind it. At the top, a wolf's face, focused in on the eyes, cast in blue and purple light. A full moon peaking through clouds sits in the top right corner. Wispy purple-pink smoke lays behind the title. "An Elf's Fate" by Casey Wolfe. The Inquisition Trilogy, Book 3. The cover is a cliffside at night, overlooking the ocean. A lantern is lit sitting on a rock. In the distance a coastline with a forest. A full moon in a star-filled sky with purple-tinged clouds. Wispy burnt orange smoke accents the title, bleeding into the clouds.

Would appreciate a boost. I hate to say it, but the release of my final book in this trilogy was completing botched by my publisher. So, enjoy a contemporary fantasy adventure with a bunch of queers fighting a conspiracy and genocide, will finding love along the way.

As a baseball fan of many years, I’ve never seen anything like this before. I love it. Normalize giving your fellow humans hugs.

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

Yeah he's definitely changed since the first time, and he's always been, his whole miserable life, a fucking liar.

Bondi's argument here is also the main thrust of the chapter 'Subjects and Citizens' in Hitler's Mein Kampf (a chapter which, incidentally, lauds racist U.S. immigration policies)

One thing Trump does get right is that he only tries to please his supporters. While Democrats try to please everyone but their supporters.

Yeah lying about something this trivial speaks to something deeply weird.

Truly bizarre book. Why did we all read that when we were 11?

Sybil, the non-fiction book that the movie is based on, when I was about 9-10. I read a lot as a kid and was largely unsupervised. It's fine, I'm fine.

one of my most intractable and strident positions is that i absolutely don’t give a single fuck how much the USPS costs, expand their services so that it costs double, you’ll never get me to give a shit

increasingly feel very old fashioned for my "all slurs are bad" beliefs

Everything bagel? No everything not bagel. In fact most things not bagel.

You never have to give it to people like Fuentes. Come on now. Use discernment.
