Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.
His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 
I sued them for wrongful termination and won.
So yes, I know that motherfucker.

The through-line of everything right now is that institutions and states and systems don't have answers for the crises they themselves created and so every move and decision is just another attempt to mitigate the present damage by deciding which vulnerable person will suffer more in the moment.

sorry im a moron who doesn't understand civics but why do these people never have to go to work
House GOP leaders cancel votes on Thursday - sending lawmakers home later today until after the elections. That means the House can avoid a vote on the Hegseth impeachment plan from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY.

Effective Altruism being labeled as woke is a piece of racist abuse.
I’m not being funny , a lot of EA arose from them hating Mutual Aid and other programs because of who it helped
And wanting that communal spirit but for their social groups
If they can’t get it they’ll destroy it

Seeing effective altruism in mainstream discourse at all is really bizarre, but lately, seeing it referred to as woke feels kind of like ideological button-mashing.

This cliche propaganda is a perfect example of how modern conservatism reimagines everything they don't like as a personal attack. The objective of bike lanes is to make drivers miserable? No, but that's how to fire up the base. Everything (immigrants, trans folks, vaccines, bike lanes) is an attack
Another example of what we describe in our book as Bikelash Mad Libs™, down to the rather predictable line, "Los Angeles is not Amsterdam, and the San Fernando Valley is not Copenhagen."

Also note the paradox the author sets up right in the first graf: Los Angeles is spending a lot of money to make transit better which is a bad idea because transit in LA isn't better. - DG

Wow, imagine what police do everyday without "democratic accountability." I think maybe there was a whole movement about it, very applicable to right now, that everyone saying these things keeps eliding.

You have literal gangs in the department and the solution for the sheriff is to have deputies sign a promise not to join a gang.

Exhibit A. The LASD has literally gangs, and this week LASD deputies packed the civilian oversight meeting the very day the oversight committee was theoretically making a plan for a plan to name the LSAD gangs. Just name them!
