My son’s just sent us a picture of a crow that attacked him. Sort of grabbed at his head. We asked him why he thinks it did it. His exact words:
“Maybe it was because i was admiring another crow”

“As the year progressed, more Cop City protesters were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism. Then, in May, three organizers who operated a bail fund were charged with charities fraud and money laundering.”

And the BLM protests. For like one year tops it seemed like we might take how women and Black people are treated seriously and the American antibodies kicked into high gear.
Feel like one could get pretty far in explaining the Trump restoration as a mass-psychological attempt to retcon the pandemic away and undo MeToo
News Analysis: Donald Trump will be the first court-adjudicated sexual abuser to become president. But if he gets the team of his choice, he will not be the only one in the room whose conduct has been called into question.

The Trump team is a clown car, but they rolled these nominations out cleverly: Drop that Hegseth bomb, then freak people out with Gabbard, then obliterate the information landscape with the Gaetz nomination.
Caffeinated from a late night drive and freaked out by *how* bad the coverage of Trump Sec Def Pete Hegseth is, I decided to start reading his new book, The War on Warriors. A thread. The new Pentagon chief begins by bragging he was pushed out for being an "extremist"... 1/

"One last thing - if you’re able to wear a mask and you aren’t - now would be a great time to start. The more people wearing masks and respirators in public the more they become normalized. If they’re normalized as a health device (which they are) it will be harder to pass laws banning their use."🎯

North Carolina passed HB 237 today - making it illegal to mask in public. This is an egregious violation of our right to protect ourselves … and we need allies to fight back!

North Carolina Passes HB 237 and Bans Medical Masks in Public
This discriminatory and ableist bill puts lives at risk and further isolates vulnerable people from society. It's pandering to anti-maskers who seek to punish disabled and high risk individuals.

I wrote about @npr.org ‘s decision to frame disabled people's ongoing exclusion from all public spaces as an annoyance to be navigated by individuals, rather than a massive civil rights violation to be challenged by the collective.

Frankly I think this is the story reactionaries are trying to tell here. “Oh so I have to believe my colleague is a rapist because his victim told her friend the next day, but the same standard doesn’t apply to a facially absurd story that involves a minimum of four people in a conference room?”
This is not a story of having been assaulted in a storage closet. When you say an HR person belittled you in front of a bunch of people who applauded, you ought to be able to produce at least one person who will confirm your account.
