(Am I the only one who doesn't quite believe it's 2023? I keep thinking about years and somehow these years in the 2020s don't seem real, even as I type them.)
Scanning back over these tweets, it looks like it was "just" another month of the march toward fascism on the Right during Black History Month, while the Super Bowl and Presidents Day occurred. Mainstream media continue to facilitate the march through both-sidesism, fawning reporting on DeSantis, and moral panic coverage that helps the Right.
In other news, Ilhan Omar was voted off the House Foreign Relations Committee during the first few days, the State of the Union address happened, and Fox News was outed as the lying liars we all knew they are. There were no mainstream stories about climate (as if those are very frequent) or other important topics that made their way into notable tweets. Or maybe Twitter wasn't showing them to me. Who knows these days.

Fascism can be *both* terrifying and stupid (in fact, hilariously stupid). The fact that it's stupid does not mean that you should ignore it. A problem ignored is not in fact a problem solved, any doctor will tell you.

Having to stand in a 10 minute line to pass through metal detectors to see someone at the hospital is some the most American-style normalization of gun violence solution that I’ve seen. And yet if I was here with a Republican they’d be throwing a hissy fit at the mandatory masking at, again, THE HOSPITAL

At this point, "anti-wokism" is more of a coherent ideology than wokism. This is because what is called "wokism" is really generational change. Meanwhile, "anti-wokism" is coalescing around a series of strategies to combat that change - instituting illiberal state policies.

Wow. In an explosive new court filing, Dominion claims to have evidence that Rupert Murdoch provided Jared Kushner with ADVANCE COPIES OF BIDEN'S ADS BEFORE THEY WERE MADE PUBLIC. Keep in mind, FOX NEWS HOSTED A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE IN 2020, as if they were a neutral, legitimate news organization. Democrats have played into this fantasy as well. Meanwhile, Murdoch was providing Trump with advance copies of Biden's ads and advising him on debate strategy

The “cancel culture” and anti-“wokeism” moral panics rely on a complete inversion of the actual balance of power, portraying traditionally marginalized groups as mighty forces that urgently need to be reined in – and those in elite positions as desperately in need of protection. These moral panics appeal to (predominantly white, predominantly male) elites because the threat to elite impunity is real - “cancel culture” and “wokeism” may have made it slightly more likely that people get in trouble for racist, misogynistic, disrespectful behavior.

Guys, there’s a reason [young kids are being found working in meat-packing plants and other places] now, and it’s not a worker shortage. It’s that the meat packing companies got caught. In short, no little white kid is going to get a job working third shift at the local meat packing plant. Companies are paying politicians to make it legal to employ the brown kids already working 3rd shift at their plants. They’re trying to make ‘getting caught’ go away. Guess what. It’s already legal for kids as young as four and five work in the fields. I am positive that meat plants are like — why can’t we do that too??

The way we don't have a political category that includes the likes of Pamela Paul, Tucker Carlson, Eric Adams, Ron DeSantis, Elon Musk, and Glenn Greenwald - even though they're all aligned on highly salient issues - is a huge blind spot that's rapidly becoming dangerous I’ve been thinking about this and I’ve decided the thing that unites them is a set of premises about how society is arranged. There are lots of ways of expressing these premised but the structure of them leads pretty inexorably to scarily reactionary politics.

A reactionary curriculum movement is upon us. It's banning books, ethnic studies, African American studies. It's silencing the past and ongoing struggles. It's a re-Westernization project seeking to eliminate discourses against colonialism, capitalism, racism, and heteropatriarchy. Coloniality of curriculum is an enduring violent pedagogical act that systematically subjugates and destroys other interpretations. Its main goal is for everyone to interpret the world through the dominant white male gaze and its concomitant concepts, theories, and histories.
