I really hope, in 4 years time, every minority remembers the cowardly Big Tech Cos and corporates who showed us their whole ass when it really came down to prove their "commitment" to DEI. I'm talking going full Arya Stark levels of taking names.
They need to know we're never going to forget.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Even growing up in Zimbabwe, I've never seen a Presidential office be turned into such an overt and industrial scale grift factory. The shamelessness is quite astonishing.

It’s funny because I grew up as a Black kid during the 90s and if “people think we’re bad” was as determinative as it’s being depicted me and everyone I know should be dead by now.
It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."
Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

The thing about populists: they can't keep you off balance if you base your platform on firm and unyielding principles.

As a 44 year old white dude, I can tell you unequivocally that it is not a tough time being a man.
It is a tough time though if you believe your status as a man, on its own, entitles you to things.

Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”

May be unpopular view, but what I hear in this is a person who is actually fairly rational but wasnt reached. Warning is not the same as connecting with people. To me this is more an indictment of the Democratic Party's failure to reach very persuadable people.
It's hard to feel empathy for these fools, but I've run out of fucks to give. We warned them.

Western right wingers can now be generally summarised as: people who are scared to death of being a minority because they think, if they become one, current minorities will treat them like how they've treated the entire world for the last 1000 years.
