The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.
As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

I still constantly gaslight myself about whether I really have ADHD, but then some mornings before the Vyvanse has kicked in, I find myself simultaneously knitting and reading a book while chewing on my lip and rubbing my feet together, and I’ll think, “I should put on a podcast”.

So interesting that you never see Leftists posting “it’s not Left and Right, it’s X and Y” takes, huh? Almost like the people that applies to are two sides of the same coin and the rest of us are really fucking tired of just flipping it back and forth instead of throwing it back in the mfing forge.

I understand that YouTube is the dominant cultural delivery method of our age but i genuinely don’t understand it. I don’t want video of my audio entertainment. I listen while I’m doing other things. I don’t even know what the use case would be for me.

The constant whiplash of being fed content where half the people are saying “we’re years away from AI surpassing humans” and the other half are saying “actual thinking machines do not exist” is fucking exhausting.

If you’re lacking some joy this holiday season, may I offer up that we watched some of the 2018 Grinch movie with our not-quite-2-year-old tonight and he kept pointing at the screen and asking why the “green puppy” was so mad.

At this point, this is akin to polling feudal peasants about whether the evil king should have to give up some of his land.
"For the first time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71 percent believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate."

I frequently see executive dysfunction vs laziness framed as internally screaming at yourself to do a thing rather than choosing to do something else. While that is very often true, I rarely see anyone talk about how dissociation can play into the experience and how much harder that can be to parse.

Can’t think of a more painful realization I’ve had in recent years than the one that I’ve started masking again around people I was previously unmasked with.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
