Dividing the world into “the left” and “the right” is a gross over-simplification designed to divide and conquer. Even worse is the the part-whole fallacy—point to bad behavior by some members of a group and blame the entire group. Plus, it’s inaccurate. See Trump.
And both murders were horrific.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

The same people who think we need to bring back real standards to academia also want to give all students a “suspend my professor” button if they don’t like how things are going
From the Oklahoma U student paper: the school is now saying it will automatically suspend faculty (with pay) in response to student complaints

An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.
Let’s be clear.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are.

We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

They got what they wanted. Kamala Harris lost the election, and Trump is president. So, what do these protesters want now, and why aren’t they protesting Donald Trump?

I also want to point out that this is a very effective rhetorical tactic—adding some anodyne comments (whole foods are preferable in general to “ultraprocessed” foods as nutrition for kids) to go along with the objectionable ones. It’s meant to get people to lower their guard and be credulous.
