Gender apathetic gen xer, but she/her for least controversy. Fuck fascism, climate change, capitalism, genocide, colonialism. acab. Conscientious objector to ai: llms and art. Long covider: me/cfs version. Nobody coming to save us, we gotta save each other

This is a moral fight between Right and Wrong. It isn’t time to retreat from it, to parse out legal trespassing as reality is being tirelessly shifted.
Stop looking to the referees and institutions. They’ve failed you. Stop expecting someone to save us, they won’t. This is on us.

What I am communicating to you is the burden these choices of yours places on disabled people. You can do what you wish. But you own what comes of it.
That can be anything from disabled folks identifying you as unsafe to public call outs to being the direct cause of someone getting very sick.

as general users, our job is using social media to briefly dissociate from the horrors and have a good time
if WaPo staffers were adequately covering the horrors and pushing back against fascism they'd get more wiggle room too

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette?

There have been lots of malevolent Supreme Court justices, but there's not really a precedent for a Supreme Court justice who is as *dumb* as Brett Kavanaugh. A complete rube. Shows his ass every time he tries to write down more than two sentences of original thought.

this bigot is a republican
"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state."
He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions".

All of these things were proof positive that he was right that "you can't trust the government to do things" this is the first time he's seen that these institutions are all charcoal briquettes because his preferred politicians are arsonists. Not defending him, to be clear, he's a moron.

If you're not starting from the position that civil rights are inviolable, as a baseline,
In what way are you avoiding fascism?
If *anyone* can be un-personed, everyone can. That's it. That's the ballgame.

As we talk about the fallacy that there's some middle ground on civil rights, that it's possible to fight fascism while also deciding which people we're allowed to abandon just a little bit, tactically,

at a professional level I am kinda fascinated by how storytelling and pop culture have deeply ingrained the idea of the devious supervillain but not the one about the town coming together to save the day
Even a lot of people on the left are still way too stuck on the idea that wealthy powerful people got that way by being smart and making plans and forming accurate reads on the world and it’s really just not like that, sorry, the truth is so much stupider
a lot of people think that faillison hired bari weiss to deliberately destroy CBS news and i think all of you need to consider the possibility that he hired her because he genuinely thought she would be successful.

a wild thing is that they didn’t just give her editorial control, they gave her what sounds like operational control (over hiring/firing), which would be objectively an insane thing to do even if she was good at editorial, which she isn’t, or had experience at an org this size, which she doesn’t
Once again for the people in the back. Bari does not have any talent. She can throw a good party and chat you up but good, and people mistake that for ability. It was fine enough to open her empty vessel of a newsletter. It can't run a real organization.
