I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:

Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Every time I’m on here everyone is always ranting and raving about one Trump thing or the other. Ughh sick of it. This man clearly doesn’t care about this country and we need to figure out how to actually fight against him and his team instead of yapping about it daily.

With β€˜Sinners,’ White Hollywood Is Moving Goalposts on Black Cinema Again Ryan Coogler's Black vampire epic topped the box office in its opening weekend, but some in the media wanted to focus on whether the film would make a profit. WTF?

"Sinners" opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews. It had a bigger opening weekend box office than 9 of the last 10 Oscar winners for Best Picture. Yet, mainstream media is questioning whether Ryan Coogler's magnum opus is a success

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right nowβ€”

β€”While the regime is actively trying to purge us from government, workplaces, universities from its websites, and from society in general.

The next era will be women / femmes building into wealth+ power, especially physically.

We already see the push back: Pressure for women be super thin and weak β€” literally unable to fight and protect themselves and others.

Seeing more women pick up strength training / martial arts is a shift.

"freedom seeds" is somehow both cringe and incredibly dystopian

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

I don’t have to fend off the desire to comply in advance. Anyone who knows me knows that, fortunately or unfortunately, I would rather die than let someone I don’t respect tell me what to do.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not β€œYou were right.” It’s β€œYou made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.
