The reactionary is first and foremost a coward.

That’s how you can tell it “cis” isn’t a slur: she wrote the full word. We all know she wouldn’t have the gall to tweet it if she thought it was actually a slur.

Yes, this sounds self-interested, but it's also a boondoggle for tech companies that outsource all of their low-wage labor!

(There might be a version of this policy that would work. But it'd be pretty tough to do, legally.)
Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO.

Bottom up incentives work. Dems never innovate. They bitch

Hot take: this isn't just wrong, it's harmful. 2 reasons:

It's just not true psychologically: people can vote for something and want it and *not think it through*. To not understand what it would mean to actually put it into practice, and once they see the human cost, they don't like it.

as this gets worse you're going to see endless efforts at reputational retcon by people who knew EXACTLY what they signed up for

and by people who were too ignorant or dis/misinformed to understand what they were signing up for, but lack the humility to own that

That bit about it being fear and *disgust* is important, too. We don't necessarily categorize them together in pop psychology/laypeople understanding, but they're processed by the same part of the brain, and disgust is, arguably, itself a type of fear.

A lot of conservatism can be understood as a demand that institutions exercise force to ratify conservatives’ disgust
This is actually one of the most interesting takeaways:

"“The amygdala is responsible for the processing of negative emotions like fear, threat, and disgust,” Zmigrod says. “And that brain area is actually larger in right-wing believers than left-wing believers."

"For decades, policy makers and profiteers have swapped human care for high-stakes testing, scripted curriculum, and surveillance. AI isn’t the disease — it’s a symptom of a colonizer’s model of schooling that is extractive and dehumanizing, rather than liberating."

Brandon Johnson ran on fighting crime by addressing the root causes .

Fuck "tough on crime", do what works: investing in communities.
The Fourth of July is a violent weekend for many cities, and Chicago is no different. This year, though, the city reduced the number of victims shot over the holiday weekend by more than 40 percent since last year.

Oh yes, reporting!

Columbine shooters seem like mass murderers. But they were apparently just trying to fix the deceased's iron deficiency.

The fascist turn in this country doesn’t purely come from MAGA. It’s in the blue cities that purge the homeless. It’s in TERF politics. It’s in the belief in a “strong border” just with slightly more due process. It’s the disdain for red states full of disenfranchised people.

They said the same thing about Brandon Johnson in Chicago. We didn't see a mass exodus of cops when he was elected (which is a shame). Also, crime has hit a ten-year low.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

I know that it's fashionable to hate on Brandon Johnson these days, but he ran on addressing crime through root causes not through police.

He delivered.
