Perfectly put
I can't emphasize enough that evil thrives on conceding in advance. Forcing them to do what they threaten to do--has a huge effect on their ability to do it. This is why Kimmel matters: not because we need to care about a rich white guy, but because THIS one said "no," and the cowards blinked.

Sounds good! I'll be based in Marseille, but as you know it's a short train ride. We've accumulated a lot to talk about during these bsky exchanges!
Today is the 1st day teaching my last class ever on US soil.
/an incredible group of scholars who work in truly interdisciplinary fashion. My brain is being permanently drained. I do not intend to return to US academia. I will have a lot more to say about this after I get there but for now it’s all systems go on the move itself! + today/
With hurricane Gabrielle making her way into the Atlantic, seems like the right time to make my own announcement. I’m leaving my current employer in December for a post at the Laboratoire Population Environnement Développement at Aix Marseille Université. I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining/
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the nation’s first bill banning officers from wearing masks. Now let’s work to bring this change nationwide, reach out to your governors and help unmask ICE!
As we begin another week, my law firm is litigation 52 voting and election cases in 25 states. We are preparing another half dozen. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight of our time and I am proud that my firm is helping to lead this fight in court.
All the California reps who voted Nay on the shameful resolution are Black women, plus one Hispanic man. Pelosi didn't cast a vote (WIMP). GET A GRIP, CALIFORNIA WHITES! WTAF????

I still remember it vividly. Time for me to rewatch? It'll hit VERY differently now, I'm sure.
My parents took me to see Dog Day Afternoon when I was 11 yo. It had a 12yo+ rating in France, so they lied to get me in. At one point my father leaned over: should we leave, was it too much? Nope. My eyes were glued to the screen. I didn't fully understand the film, ofc. But 50 years later, /
Sorry dunno why i gendered your kid, apologies!
Maybe the squash is really a pumpkin deep inside. Then she’d be caring for a trans 🎃 😊
I replied politely, because the organizer is someone whom I really like and respect. But I minced no words in explaining why that man’s presence made it impossible for me to participate. These things have to be said. The epistemic gender violence is never-ending.
Hell yes. I literally JUST replied to an invitation to participate in an event where the first confirmed speaker is a known bully. He’s even set his bloodhounds to attack in print a young woman who dared take a decolonial approach to challenge the nationalist history he adores. So…
i need you to look at these excerpts and tell me you see what’s really going on TELL ME YOU SEE IT

"Oh but surely your family is safer in California, Gabrielle?" SHAME ON HER a) for the position itself and b) for accepting the political ontology of contemporary US fascism. STOP LETTING THEM SET THE TERMS OF THE DEBATE! (h/t George Lakoff)
Save this. The Jeffries-Pelosi corporate Democrats are not going to save us. They must go.

So so cool! Thanks for sharing!
French radio used “infanticide” to describe Israel’s actions (in addition to, not instead of, genocide. Be France
France is on strike. All of it. Really. Protesting how government is handling the national budget, rollback on pesticide regulations and much more Be France
People on the receiving end literally asked for it, so yey

Partner and I will certainly be the oldest at the show! Hee hee.
"Professional" travel agents have nothing on me. They were telling me that there was no way for me to get flights to the DR to see Conejo Malo within the time frame I wanted. They lied. I found several ways. VAMOS A BAD BUNNY! Million other things were more urgent that figuring that out. 🤷
And after seeing Berkeley specifically give 160 names to the fashies, which is a whole additional level of caving?
I guess that means that you're eating mediterranean food no matter what? which works for me.
I have trouble understanding why France and Greenland are grouped together.
NEW: The family of Delta State University student Trey Reed is calling for an independent autopsy after his body was found hanging in a tree on campus. U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson is calling for a federal investigation, citing "Mississippi’s painful history of lynching and racial violence."
He didn't go to college & look what happened. Tbh, I'm good w/ the same fate befalling all the other maggots, whether or not they went to college. Will I get suspended, I wonder? At the very moment that these terrorists are calling for revenge on the wrong people?
so much confusion, I can't get no relief
I just plain old forgot that I needed to mount a Canvas site for my course. Classes start Monday, which is also when the movers are coming. Please send courage!

My dad took me to see The Sting when i was 10 or 11. It immediately became my favorite movie (ok, alongside 2001). A lot has happened since but this does remind me to show the movie with my daughter
Tl;dr: because they’re desperately afraid of losing power. And I add: with some Racism Lite™️ to fuel the flames.
This is the equivalent of Jesus on a toast for developmental biologists 🧪
And let me take this opportunity to say again: WHITE PPL ARE NOT OPPRESSED IN SOUTH AFRICA
“Musk has rejected calls for national unity and has instead embraced increasingly inflammatory rhetoric” since Kirk blabla So a white South African who left as minority rule was ending now wants to turn the US into apartheid SA.
What will historians (if they still exist) name this period? Second Wave McCarthyism? Fall of the American empire?
More faculty firings @ Clemson. SC is a wonderful place in a lot of ways & I enjoyed my time there, but the state school system is run by the worst people & credit to all the profs there who do great work despite the state's best efforts to undermine them. www.wyff4.com/article/clem...

JUST IN: An independent United Nations inquiry has concluded for the first time that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and that the country’s top leaders have incited genocide, in what it described as “the “most authoritative UN finding to date.” https://cnn.it/3VjaHzS
I wish I could enjoy South Park like everyone else seems to. My failure to enjoy it (and SNL) is how most ppl can tell that I’m not a real Amercan. Love biting sarcastic humor but just don’t click with them. My loss, I know!
Hard agree. If his voice comes on and I’m not able to turn it off immediately I literally say “BLAH BLAH BLAH” loudly until I get to the button. Strategies developed by 5 year olds to cope with a big old baby tyrant

I appreciate the written version of the exchange bc no way am I listening to the barbarian’s voice voluntarily!
Parachute aid doesn’t work any better than parachute science. But goddess forbid that any of them spend time in low/no income communities They’re just so awful
DO NOT NORMALIZE INDIFFERENCE about how the right and most Dem politicians trample on fundamental human rights of trans people and terrorize them My daughter is afraid to leave the house and we live in San Francisco It’s real.
“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT
Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...
Fuck them.
Respect. And thank you.
"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Guys, I did a crazy Couldn't go to Conejo Malo's San Juan residency. Then I saw he was playing in France @ a good time. But SOLD OUT. 😢 THEN: shows in Sto Domingo just b4 T'gvg for normal $! Sold! Currently trying to change Tgvg tix Nuts? 1st (& prob last) time back in DR s 1973. Feels right...
whole family, chosen and biological, to accept my trans daughter with full love, even though it’s hugely against her religion to do so. So don’t you dare tell me her religiosity is absurd. I’m not down with her scripture but I respect the strength and community it’s brought her.
Another one gets the block I’m a full on atheist (because) raised by Latina catholic mother. The years have taught me how religion can be so much more than belief yes/no. My ultra-Methodist sister in South Africa would literally be dead without the church. She was also among the first in our
Can we all agree that if Tyler Robinson had been in charge, it would’ve be the whole head that exploded instead of a scratched ear?
I blocked him.

What a stupid fucking reply that was from someone with single digit followers and following
Yeah at least with those you get the benefit of assembling your thoughts and thereby make progress regardless of outcome
So let me throw some “it will get done and WILL be good” your way
I love that "He was shot while talking about trans people" is being used as evidence of some trans assassination conspiracy. LOL those bitches never shut up about trans people, that was just the law of averages.
A very legitimate fear, alas.
Even good people know less and less with each passing day, as the mainstream media goes full Newspeak. So many people cheerfully read the NYT with no awareness of how the paper’s editorial line has moved right, or how this might affect what they’re reading That’s how It takes hold 😢😡
Because it IS a feel good story. Damn we need these!

oh man can't believe I didn't think of that
One of them can sit on the toilet and chat to the other one while they brush their teeth.
Yeah, but it is incredibly clear right now that your moderation process leans heavily toward censoring trans people and away from protecting them. You allow slurs and death threats against trans people to exist for hours (if you act at all) while suspending people for "rest in piss" within minutes.
