I don’t give to or promote online fundraisers for individuals unless I know the recipient personally. Please don’t ask me to. I prefer to give money to charitable organizations. It’s not because I don’t trust individuals to use the money wisely or think them unworthy, it’s because scams are rampant.

This is the thing I think trolls, etc don't understand: Once I block you I literally never think about you again. Shit, five minutes after I block someone I don't remember who they are or why I blocked them. They simply and literally don't exist for me anymore. If this is a victory for you, fine.
Some of y’all must have a blocking kink. It’s weird — you’re intentionally rude, obstinate or worse — in my replies as it daring me to block you as it gains you something. I won’t remember two minutes from now.

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

A person’s opinion of Sparta is a very reliable shortcut to knowing how serious they are. Men who lionize Sparta have a skin-deep cartoon characterization understanding of the world.

Exactly. AI detectors are the antidote sold to us by the same people who sold us the poison.
"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI.
AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

Was marshaling at an anti-ICE protest today and a guy who is at a lot of protests showed up with his Pride, Mexican, and Palestinian flags.
Another protester started giving him hell and I had to intervene. He didn’t like the “Hamas flag” at an anti-ICE protest. No problem with the others flags…

Nothing about our current moment is comprehensible without understanding that:
1. Until 1965, white men decided who was president.
2. for the next four decades, every president elected was either a Republican or a white male Southerner.
3. Barack Obama was the first exception to the above.

ICE has completely broken our social contract.
They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I say this as a white man who instinctively distrusts other white men, but the plain fact is that there are LOTS of suburban white guys who do things like golf and also LOATHE Trump. I see them at protests all the time. “Suburban white golfer guy” is often the male version of “liberal wine mom.”
As someone in the comments noted, if they're now losing the suburban white guys in Callaway ball caps, they're losing badly.
Watch this.

Body shaming and ableism are not and will never be woke, and this is the problem with not understanding the difference between how Black folks talk to each other and how the right co-opted a term for their own purposes.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
