It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS
the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender
just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns
Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

People have already forgotten that a number of the more prominent Ferguson protestors have been found dead. I don't go for conspiracy, our country has a LONG history of assasination.
The ongoing demand for a single voice despite all organizing advice to the contrary is going to end the way these things always do. The charismatic leader of a resistance movement is killed. It's only movie magic that gives them happily ever after

let me emphasize that Rumeysa Ozturk was HERE LEGALLY TO STUDY TEACHING. She co-authored one op-ed *a year ago* that criticized Tufts for not divesting from Israel financially. She was grabbed by a group of individuals who did not show a warrant and had no indication of being federal agents.

Notably missing: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia. Kind of mindblowing to me given what the substance of this letter is: "government should not retaliate against law firms"
Dean Chemerinsky and other #lawschool deans "speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

Okay but REAL - the way Hexxus was animated and voiced in the number Toxic Love, erotic is a deeply accurate description. It's quite a feat to make an anthropomorphic cloud of noxious pollution sexy but they did that, I have such vivid childhood memories of it.
Very intrigued to see this lecture. 👀

THIS is what teachers worry about, what they do, not sex changes and indoctrination. We're just trying to keep children safe, loved, seen, and hopefully we get some reading and writing and adding and subtracting in there too. Teachers are in a fucking war zone.
I’m so fucking pissed that I already go into a classroom thinking “what do I do if there’s a mass shooter” and now I gotta add “what do I do if armed agents of the state come to drag away a student?”

once again, every accusation is a confession. republicans spent 15 years accusing democrats of winning elections by trading cash for votes. now, here we are.
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Since we are discoursing about academics it’s also probably good for everyone to remember that academics are some of the *first* people that authoritarians target
Also feeling forced to leave your home country is hard because it is no longer safe for you is hard, not fun

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says Chris Hayes on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

I wish to fuck that (particularly) boomers didn’t think of politics like sports teams.
“Can’t we just all agree to disagree?”
No we cannot.
No I will not.
I am done explaining this to people who will not listen.
