Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

And almost nobody has "cancer money” of the type you need when it’s really serious
which is why I’m increasingly skeptical thinking about how the idea that wealth is protective (which it is…until it’s not) causes us to overlook how ind. wealth, not Bezos wealth but like median white wealth,

i've half-joked about how you aren't actually rich until you have "cancer money", or enough that you can pay for treatment *and* be out of work for however long *and* maintain your or your family's basic quality of life (ie, not having to liquidate core assets like your primary residence).

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

It is EXTREMELY way past time for people to stop saying "the economy" when they mean "the stock market."
The stock market is fully divorced from reality. It does not represent anything meaningful about the actual standards of living.

one factor in the Harris loss was the Democratic party bragging about the great economy when it was actually complete garbage outside the artificially juiced stock market, and I don't expect that tactic to work any better for Trump esp with a much worse economy

Anti-trans activists get away with really wild claims because there are that many trans people and people don't listen to us. Stuff that doesn't fly if you make even a cursory review of the evidence just hangs around for year after year, seemingly impervious to reality.
The majority of trans people are queer, bisexual, or pansexual. Less than 15% report being straight after transition. If people being trans was a way to make them "straight" it is horribly ineffective.

Whether a majority of the country would ever vote for a woman for president should not be considered answered after the loss of Kamala Harris.
Even if Harris had been a generational political talent (she isn't), she was the VP of an unpopular president and had to start campaigning in late July.

that whole 'this country isn't ready for a woman president' line is really upsetting because it shows exactly how neoliberalism works, redirecting blame from issues of policy (or lack thereof) onto a flattened, vague type of sexism in a way that ultimately doesn't even challenge sexism!

Avelo is an ICE Air charter, transporting shackled detainees on deportation flights. You'll not be shocked to learn that the flights are a fiasco: loss of cabin pressure, slow evacuations, dangerous cargo onboard, no safety checks, long tarmack delays.

One of the creepiest things about how propaganda works is that it doesn't have to be even a little bit true or convincing.
If something is repeated enough a lot of people just start to believe it unconsciously.
They just have to lie more often than you tell the truth and more people believe it

Like, I get that Democrat/Liberal politicians were supposedly "better" at some point, but I'm 42, and those folks lost to Reagan and Bush, and then gave us Omni-Rapist Bill Clinton.
Before that, liberals reached the lofty heights of half-measuring towards actually treating women and POC as humans.
