This is no longer a warning for the future; it is a diagnosis of the present.

Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar. Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.
Across the US, nearly 60% of college students are women. In highschool, girls are more likely to take AP and IB courses or pursue dual enrollment credits So to flip the numbers like this took work. Turns out University of Chicago is fine with affirmative action as long as it benefits men
JW Mason@jwmason.bsky.social · 3d agoJust to be clear: These different admissions rates are not just a mechanical result of more women applying. The most recent entering class was 58% male and 42% female. That is a choice. chicagomaroon.com/53303/news/u...

That $366 million Elon is spending to try and convince voters that Congress should stay Republican? It's more money than McCain's 2008 campaign spent. But it's also, relative to Musk's net worth, the same as a household at the median income spending $32.
The 2026 question: Which is more powerful, money or people?
Elon Musk has spent $366 million this election cycle. Philip Bump examines what that kind of money can buy in American politics.

For most people, AI will not automate their own labor but the management of it. DOGE showed how this would work in the public sector. Now the paranoid racists are gonna ask Grok to find furries everywhere. States like NC & FL have forced more, eg, college syllabi online to facilitate auto-harassment

what I hate is historical fiction where the narrator is using their time-particular vocabulary list but using totally contemporary conceptions of self, self awareness consciousness psychology etc historical ppl were of course just as psychologically complex, but poking out in diff directions

I hope people understand the profound and full implications of the fascists having your information through DOGE. The knock can come at anyone’s door at any time.
elite Dem power brokers have hated Omar from the moment she was elected, this general lack of response to Trump's persecution is perfectly aligned with their non-reaction to every other right wing attack during her tenure in Washington

I've seen similar descriptions/attitudes to people reading Cormac McCarthy and my knee jerk response is that men arent reading and writing them 'as much' because these books are not, and never were, big muscular super macho epics and actually spent time disassembling masculinity.

Trump needs to be impeached and Omar’s colleagues should give a damn about the oaths they swore to as well as the colleague they work with everyday. All of them.

If there is good news, it is this: we are at the dawn of an age when no one will care what anyone who let Trump happen says about anything. I kind of think that’s a future worth living for.

the pogrom against Somalis is all bc of Ilhan Omar right?
Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 4d agoTrump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
