The tolerant left? Tolerance isn't really my thing and it shouldn't be yours either.

The same kindness won't be extended to you.

ProPublica reported on Friday that Candice Jackson is back at the Education Department as deputy general counsel

After leaving Trump 1.0, Jackson was a go-to lawyer for people filing anti-trans lawsuits

Read the last paragraph of the last image in this post for her point of view
ProPublica: Even without McMahon, like-minded colleagues already are working in the department, including several staff members from her conservative think tank. The bio of newly appointed Deputy General Counsel Candice Jackson, for instance, touts her experience “challenging the harmful effects of the concept of ‘gender identity’ in laws and policies in schools.” Guardian (2023): A former senior Trump administration staffer with extremist connections and the legal director of “radical feminist” group the Women’s Liberation Front (Wolf) are now partners in a Wisconsin law firm exclusively focused on anti-transgender litigation. The firm, Jackson Bone LLP, unites Candice Jackson, who rolled back Title IX protections for complainants in college sexual assault cases under Trump education secretary Betsy DeVos, and Lauren Adams Bone, co-author of a “Women’s Bill of Rights” that has shaped anti-trans bills currently before several state houses Bay Area Reporter: "You don't even have to claim to be a woman," said Candice Jackson, the plaintiff's attorney. "All you have to do is claim an intersex or nonbinary identity." Jackson and attorney Lauren Adams of the Women's Liberation Front are representing the four plaintiffs. Jackson, a lesbian who said she doesn't believe that trans women are women, pointed to a story in the Los Angeles Times which, she said, cited examples of men doing just that.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

I spend a significant amount of my day at work missing my dog and wondering what he's doing right now. Like at least 30%

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Share if you’re Gen X and you grew up:
- Licking lead paint off the walls
- Drinking leaded gasoline straight from the pump
- Chewing on a big bar of lead whenever you were bored
And you turned out fine!!!!

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower.

"What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations."

theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...
I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them. Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night.

The pain is so real. If you’re more upset about mean jokes than the suffering fueling them, you are deeply out of touch

What I love about Bluesky is that I am having fun blocking both the Nazis and the Blue No Matter Who folks.

I understand the idea of harm reduction and begrudgingly voted for it but all the assholes calling the left worthless and such are just insufferable.

I wish the Dems could do better.
