For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

new race to see which state will be the first to charge federal agents with murder or attempted murder of their residents. Solidarity works better when all try it rather than none.

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Honestly, it feels like a simple transaction.

Carnegie Mellon wants me to send them money.

_I_ want them to not paint over the student fence saying "NO RAPISTS ON CAMPUS" in preparation for Donald Trump's visit.

Oh well. I guess we don't always get what we want.

Protest idea: for the Fourth of July, wear black.

That’s it. Wear black, in mourning for the country we used to at least try to be. Be silent, be visible. If you put up a flag, do it upside down.

If this resonates with you, pass the idea on. I can’t do it alone. None of us can.

We cannot tear down Empire if we are unwilling to face the ways that we manifest Empire within ourselves.

The way Empire's seeds have been skillfully planted deep inside our hearts, long before we were born, the way so many communities foster these attitudes for us, intentionally or not.

Straight white men we need to organize and be in the front lines.

This is it we have been called upon. No more letting the minorities and women do the fighting.

As being the only demographic with protection from the government we have to take point.

So white boys let’s fuck them up.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places:

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most
A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.
Si l'initiative citoyenne européenne visant à interdire les thérapies de conversion dans toute l'UE ne récolte pas 1 million de signatures d'ici 10 jours, elle échouera malheureusement...

Every media outlet, including trans ones, are missing the big picture about the bogus, Chat GPT, anonymous (SEGM) report on health care for trans people. Here's the parts that matter MOST:

1. It includes social transition as medical intervention. 1/n
