A lot of women working on the left can testify with me that having political hopes and dreams that would be good for women doesn't make you good at working with women.
this post says progressives need to address young men’s needs. like what? job security? education? mental health concerns? which side do you think has the better offering for young men in those areas?

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:
* Does Firefox sell your personal data?
> Nope. Never have, never will.
The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.

If they can smell it from all the way over there, they have no reason to get closer.
Also a small tip, if you’re a dude bringing a first date to an art exhibition, lay off the aftershave.

We need evidence-based activism. Your activism needs objectives, and it needs to leave behind evidence that those objectives were met. The fact I don't know the objectives of the pussyhats means they failed out of pocket, but assuming they had objectives, I don't remember shit changing.

@alihartwrites.bsky.social A similar thing to the 50501 protests is cooking and I would like to trade notes with you about it.
Yea friendly neighborhood reminder that you organize a general strike not by getting hundreds of millions of individuals to strike but by getting a considerably smaller number of unions that make up an overwhelming majority of the economy to strike.
Are you under the impression that a general strike can just happen on a dime?

Hey leftist media, can we please move on from media criticism to media critique? The big media companies suck. We got that part. You do a great job setting the record straight. But this gives you a bias toward defense to the point that our media has almost no offense, i.e., people using media well.

The Department of Defense finding a random WWII veteran with the surname Bragg so they could use a loophole to rename a US army base after some confederate dick head might just be the most pathetic ass shit Hegseth has done so far.

No, see, axiomatically true means "true because I said so." They don't mean "self-evident" because they're just making shit up.
can i just say that in addition to being a bad thinker this dude is just a bad writer as well. "axiomatically true." just say self-evident!
The good news is that reactionary centrists are engaging in some self-reflection on the excesses of the right-wing backlash to 'wokeness.'
The bad news is that they are saying it is woke people's fault.

There’s a whole group of lefties that do the “no war but class war” thing to downplay that racism still exists outside the confines of economic status and it’s exhausting
DEI was an active impediment to the project of building a multiracial working class movement capable of taking on corporate and oligarch power. Rufo did the left a favor in nuking it.

This is a powerful piece. "Witnessing & disapproving will not save us. We must be willing to act & refuse to act on the basis of what we know is right. We must build a rebellious culture of care in defiance of a death-making culture of greed. We must reject the disposal of our fellow human beings."
I wrote about Trump's executive orders, including his attacks on trans and undocumented people, and how we should be orienting ourselves to defy fascist violence in this moment. This piece includes commentary from @chasestrangio.bsky.social and @silkys13.bsky.social.
