I can’t believe that teachers, aides and school administrators don’t band together to institute a nationwide strike and refuse to return to classrooms until their workplaces are made safe from guns - they shouldn’t have to, but since lawmakers won’t step up………

This scathing essay by @JuliusGoat slices like a scimitar through the fog of bullshit that genocidal fascists like Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and their "centrist" enablers spew around themselves.

This is so wrong-headed and disappointing. Russia is my area of research, and I've analyzed Putin's speeches. He intentionally appeals to the left and the right in the West as well as the post-colonial world, but even when his critiques hit the mark, they are all propaganda for his own power grab.

I've been posting photos at Post, and have been enjoying that a lot. I like the commentators I've connected with. Here I've mostly been political, but I think nature is political since it's under attack. I like to showcase the beauty of Brooklyn, a precarious oasis amid creeping authoritarianism.

I'm curious which of my spouts are considered nefarious? So far I've just written in support of trans rights, against school bans, and in favor of daylight savings. None of those issues seem nefarious to me.

Am I the only one who prefers daylight saving time? Let's keep daylight saving time as the standard time!

ActualApe @AnthroprofChilling. Their aims go beyond Florida, and they've been successful in pushing their agenda at the state legislative level across the country. I wish I knew how to stop them, but the authoritarian nationalists are winning in far too many states. What happens if they control the White House?07:46 PM - Mar 11, 2023

How is this different from the authoritarian states we've long criticized? Making everything conform to the party line and then encouraging cadres of snitches to report resisters to the government. Those are not tactics of a country that values freedom.

What was it Americans didn't like about the USSR? Clearly it wasn't the suppression of opposing views or the police state. It wasn't the patriotic curriculum that only allowed positive views of the Soviet nation. So many Americans are fine with those things as long as it's America being praised.

When I post on Facebook in support of trans rights only about 5 or 6 people ever like my posts. I don't know if it's the algorithm there or if people really don't care. When trans rights are taken away, everyone's rights are at risk. Why aren't more people concerned about this?

"Diversity of thought" is just a way of saying "don't cancel Nazis." They don't care about free speech obviously with all the bans or about diverse opinions that are within the norms of democracy. They want freedom for Nazis. Then when we call them out, they claim we're the intolerant oppressors.
