The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.
It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses.
People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

The ecological cold war: This is far and away the most important essay you will read this week. A staggeringly incisive and commanding thesis for how the 21st century will shake out.
We are on the verge of a new Cold War, defined not by an ideological contest over the proper relationship between politics and the economy, but over the metabolic basis of modernity. Call it the Green Entente vs. the Axis of Petrostates. My latest: foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/01/e...

"How are we supposed to beat the Nazis when you're running around speaking up for communists, socialists, trade unionists, and Jews? Lots of people dislike those groups. Once we ditch all of them, the five of us who are left will beat Hitler easily."

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

JK Rowling, as a public figure who has very vocally aligned herself with one of the most pervasive branches of 21st century fascism, deserves to be criticised for all the violence she supports and encourages against trans women & any other women who fail to meet her narrow definition of womanhood

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.
