Someone now has to write a history of the internet, just to use this post as the title.

In just 13 words, it perfectly sums up … [waves hands at all of this].
This is amazing, and yet I wish I had never stumbled onto it.

The greatest injustice a rich white dude can imagine is if he or his property are subjected to the same treatment he gives to others

As anti-abortion activists like the ADF and Terry Schilling told @maggieastor.bsky.social last year, this was always the plan--to control the lives and bodies of women and trans people to fit their ideology.

I just feel if you’re basically saying “it’s not technically genocide” that you’ve lost the argument.

If I want to make myself angry I will remember about 65% of the country thinks holding cops accountable for wantonly killing people is extremism

They used Asian Americans to take down Affirmative Action. They used Jewish Americans to take down Gay. Neither of these outcomes will help Asian or Jewish people.

Tools get put back in their box. They don't get invited to dinner or taken to the country club.
Remember, this all started with Republicans trying to get the Black woman fired by accusing her of antisemitism - a brutally cynical attempt by the party of Trump, “Jewish space lasers,” QAnon, and “Great Replacement” theory to use Jews to strike against “leftist” institutions.
Today, the anti-“woke” crusaders on the Right got what they wanted – and it would not have been possible without the mainstream media eagerly propagating, laundering, and legitimizing a disgustingly disingenuous rightwing campaign. 1/

The racism was in blowing up small, insignificant flaws until they represented everything about her; the anti-Blackness was the credulity and reluctance to defend her from people who “hate racism” but won’t put themselves between the perpetrators and the targets.

let's be clear that even that is cover. She's being used as a test case for what methods work for these fascists to go after higher education.

Elise Stefanik doesn't give a *fuck* about Jews, in Israel or in the Diaspora. She'd be happy if we all died tomorrow. These folks are bigots all the way.

Now that they've ousted the black female head of an Ivy League university, I'm sure the far right will continue its good-faith campaign against antisemitism and academic ethics violations.

Sometimes I think about when rightwingers decided to get James Gunn fired for some shitty bad taste jokes he tweeted years ago and then the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy was like no that’s stupid we won’t accept this bad faith campaign. My point is that Rocket Raccoon has more dignity than Harvard

Times still posting stories about plagiarism even after Gay resigns. Basically just reposting Washington Free Beacon stories, which in turn based on anonymous and unverified complaints.
Alleged victim, Professor David Canon: "This isn't even close to an example of academic plagiarism."

The NY Times and other media that treated Gay's academic misconduct as a national story were an essential part of the right wing campaign to have her removed. Compare how they treated the President of Stanford, who faced much more serious accusations of academic misconduct.

Bans on gender-affirming HRT were always a stepping-stone, not endgame. In a new lawsuits filed 12/18 ADF attempts to argue that since social transition can be a"powerful psychosocial intervention", the use of chosen name and pronouns should be considered health care provision. archive.ph/AtTd5

Wouldn’t it be nice if this fact mattered more than the false perception that crime is up.
Breaking News: The U.S. is on track for a record decline in homicides in 2023, according to FBI data, after they rose sharply during the pandemic. Many other categories of crime are also in decline.

You do understand the government should be supplying public health info we shouldn't have to rely on trading tips on social media for safety, tracking the sewage independently, measuring how much cold medicine is on the shelf or reading scented candle reviews? Ok just so we know that.
