This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast.

There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

This is like watching the tidal wave from 'deep impact' coming right for your beach but instead it's people who don't get jokes
Maddow: If you don't have Bluesky yet, I recommend it. It is a social media network that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork

bari weiss-style free speech advocacy was always a way to pull difficult debates into friendlier waters. you might not want to be seen arguing about race and IQ, but you don’t need to be: you can make the discussion about free speech, and the audience will infer that some truth is being suppressed

I'm kicking off this year with some YouTube essays about podcasting, video and AI! This first one is all about video podcasts, and whether we're facing the end of an era for audio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqo6...

In a nutshell, modest progress on gender equality led to a 'backlash decade' in which every American institution decided that activists were too aggressive, that the women's movement had gone too far and that feminists were the reason women still lagged behind.

for sociopaths and narcissists, politics is when you pretend to care about other people. rejecting politics is when you embrace your hateful, reactionary human nature.
in retrospect, one of the funniest headlines of all time

Trump is plenty destructive alone, but even more destructive is the cover he gives every powerful asshole in the world to be their unleashed worst self
Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion

clearly all pent up for years and now allowing himself to do it because of Trump coming to power

We’re not even in it, and this stuff is already happening. (Read down through the thread for the distressing email!)
Yesterday I pulled overt references of queerness off my site, my very successful store that sells my books that have queer main characters. Because a few days ago, Meta emailed saying my advertising on their platform will be restricted - my site was categorized as "sexuality and gender identity."
