“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust
Is this clear enough or are we still doing that whole thing where we pretend it’s about “crime”?

Absolutely this. The idea that 20% of a student body couldn't be disabled is an expression of ableism (not understanding disability) but also an implicitly normative statement -- that 20% of students shouldn't be disabled.
We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

We're talking little old ladies in watermelon kippot, reading off lists of Israeli atrocities from the bimah on Yom Kippur and reciting liberation poetry from Palestinians practically every single service.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

tbh. every single nation-state project on the planet has declared war on its women, queer, trans people under the banner of "fraternity", so all must eventually be swept into the dustbin of history. there is no nationalist state project that is not inherently patriarchal.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.
Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.
Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

This. "Believing the stripper really loves you" is a good line for a certain type of gullibility, but most strippers a) are actually capable of love and b) wouldn't encourage a customer to suicide. Because they're human and have minds and emotions. LLMs aren't and don't.
I've seen people say that getting attached to ChatGPT is like "believing the stripper really loves you", but that's not true. It's more like believing that the dryer personally composed that little jingle on a lonely sockless night just to win your affections.
