Watching the Bridgerton drama play out feels extremely familiar to me. When I came back into organized media fandom around the time that Highlander hit the air in the 90s, I was a full adult. Zines were still a thing and mailing lists were big.

404 Media's @josephcox.bsky.social has spent hours reporting on the DOGE depositions. Plaintiffs argued that taking the videos down is a massive First Amendment issue.
Still, the judge ordered the videos be removed.

No one can save white women from white women except white women. And I know how that sounds, but the way the polls looked? White women voted to destroy their own human rights in the interest of sabotaging everyone else. You can't fix that from the outside.
White women are iffy maybe 49-52%. Black women over 92% Latina’s over 85%. I haven’t seen Asian women stats.

I braved the rain to go to the downtown post office. The question before me: get back on BART now and go home or walk to the shawarma joint and pick up lunch first.

A part of me is leaning into memories of my father and his deep loathing of the GOP until the day he died. Why so deep? He was a Republican (like a lot of Black folks of a certain age) until the California party decided that him being Blackity black was a problem. That was the tip of the iceberg.

My parents were very average rude and cranky Black folks but they made it through a lot of shit to get me and my brother here. I am the only one left. If you think I'm a little rude and cranky they're the reason why.

The movement to hijack the SCOTUS started about 40 years ago. Those same folks are trying to replicate that on the state level.
None of us can go back in time and stop the federalist society and the rest of those ghoulish groups from being founded but we can stop their dark money now.

True North Research dropped a report detailing how the same forces who took the SCOTUS, are going to go after state courts next.
Educate yourself; it's not a long report.
They even tell you what YOU can do to fight back.

And this is why I keep telling Californian's to watch all local elections and the statehouses. The Dems still have a majority. If you want to keep these fuckers on their heels, cut them off at the knees now.
REPORTER: Will you insist on voter ID as a condition for disaster aid for California?
MIKE JOHNSON: We have been lamenting the lack of voter security there for some time. We were deeply concerned in this last election cycle and we saw 3 of our seats frankly slip away from us in California.
