There is a lot of research on this. Learning about racism doesn't make white kids feel guilty. Here is what it does.

Here's a simple script you can use if you need one: "I'm calling to tell the representative that I support Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito, and I am encouraging him to support them as well." That's all you need!

Like Google ruining search to push “AI,” corporations have become incentivized to damage their own products to chase investor trigger words. There’s no long-term strategy, only short-term gains. An entire economy of pump-and-dump companies.

This chapter of The Power Broker is describing a neighborhood in the Bronx full of working class leftist Jews who are embracing integration as Black and Latino residents are moving in! I'm sure nothing bad will happen to them! Let me pull up Google Maps and see where the Cross Bronx Expressway is!

Self-described “gay furry hackers” breached the Heritage Foundation in an attempt to undermine Project 2025, so of course an executive director at the right-wing think tank threatened them as “degenerate perverts” who would face God’s punishment and the FBI.

Hey motherfuckers, just found out my kid had post-viral myocarditis from COVID in 2022! Discovered because of constant fatigue and dizziness when standing. They now use a cane. COVID is surging again so do the damn things! I know they suck but not as much as giving someone else a heart condition.

It is not the case that Harris should not run. It is also not the case that Harris could not win. It is, in my opinion, absolutely the case that the current democratic establishment is not prepared to defend her against the unhinged ruthlessness of the republican party. They lack the tools.

I’m old enough to remember the New York Times pushing Americans into the Iraq war that killed a million people, greatly weakened our international standing, and diverted vast resources into the pockets of a few billionaires. It’s always been this bad.

And did those of you at ALA who didn't mask or test think for one moment that your choice not to test and wear masks makes it impossible for some to attend face-to-face conferences at all and for others it is a life-and-death risk they must take (because of the nature of their job)? (7/7)

to test or wear masks who likely spread it anyway? Does willful ignorance remove complicity? And if you know that people are out there who are going to be out and about with COVID (and really, did you not know this before?), shouldn't you be taking precautions? (6/7)

I wasn't medically vulnerable (or so I thought) until I got COVID. You don't really know that you're not either, even if you've had COVID before. I think that woman who knowingly went to ALA with COVID deserves scorn, but what about the people who didn't care enough (5/7)

from my husband who got it at a conference (ironically in the same San Diego Conference center ALA was in). He masked in crowds, but not when he was meeting one on one with individuals he was friends with (stupid stupid stupid) and one of them gave him COVID. (4/7)

than they are, and it's clear from the photos I saw from ALA that most people didn't. If you didn't test and you didn't mask, how do you know that you weren't also spreading COVID or some other illness? I got the COVID infection that led to my disabling autoimmune disease (3/7)

I hope people will save a bit of their righteous indignation for ALA and other organizations that no longer require masks or testing at their conferences. They have abandoned people with disabilities utterly. Personally, I've decided not to give my time or money to any (1/7)

Goddammit, people should not be fucking DYING from HEAT in a place that they cannot leave or where they cannot control their environment. Air conditioning in California's Central Valley should be BASIC, like food, water, and shelter. I'm not sure how this doesn't constitute at least manslaughter.

Around the same time the ProPublica’s piece on Thomas broke last year, the Canadian Supreme Court also had a scandal with one of its justices.
It was wrapped up in 4 months with his resignation.
