As for many poets uneasy in their class consciousness, Tony Harrison’s brilliant controversial long poem V. (1985) blew me away when I first read it. But his short lyrics were sharp, wise, and deeply moving, too, cut from lived life. Saddened to hear the great man has passed. RIP.

Wong succinctly and precisely gets it right here: conservatives' successful reframing of dull, traditional bigotry as some kind of underdog ideas really is quite a feat. An ugly, stupid feat, but a feat.

I don’t know how many of know this poster, but it’s got to be the best here. 😁

People dismiss glass ceilings because they can’t see them, but the bias is real. We’ve never had a woman president, not because of lack of talent, but because women face barriers men don’t. A deeply unqualified man beat highly qualified women, showing it wasn’t merit, it was internalized bias. #Pink

At this point, whenever I hear ICE or other law enforcement yell “Stop Resisting,” I assume that the person isn’t resisting and the officer is yelling it to excuse his own violence towards the person.

In just the past week I have seen -ICE agent brutalizing unarmed, peaceful mom -ICE agent dropping his gun, nearly shoots own dick off, wildly points gun at onlookers -ICE agent tackling unarmed, peaceful congressional candidate -ICE agent pepper spraying unarmed, peaceful catholic priest

Something I don't see a lot of talk about on here in the context of the male loneliness epidemic is opposite-sex platonic friendships, friendships with age gaps, interactions with neighbors. Friendships of varying intensity. A spectrum of human interactions.

Sometimes I can’t tell if it is better for these folks to stay or do this. Either way, admirable.

The National Archives released the military records of Mikkie Sherrill, then admitted they shouldn't have. The documents appear to contain personal information like her SSN number, per ABC: abc7ny.com/post/calls-i...

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

History’s warning is clear: empires fall when people freeze. This four-pillar plan says move. Project 2025 is banking on silence. This plan makes noise loud enough to crush it.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

🚨🚨🚨 “First, do no harm.” The Hippocratic Oath has changed over the last 2500 years, but this core principle has not. This woman admits to violating this value physicians swear to uphold — in a public forum. Let us share her “humor” to protect would-be patients. Dr. Grewal 1/2

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

Hey Media, listen... aren't you a bit embarrassed that reporters in other countries have to do YOUR job? You might want to rethink your career choices!

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

By no means is this hyperbole 👉

Going to give this a try.

So Sinclair is your affiliate deal with ABC like the standard deals when I was in local TV? If you choose NOT to air any ABC show, ABC gets to offer it to another station in your market(s)? In other words you just gave a network show to one of your rivals in 86 markets?

Set your alarms. 9pm eastern tonight youtu.be/5tYdoEtPYUM?...

This is the real Rapture.

Our work is not done… 📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide. Folks, you know what to do. Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

Today the cult leaders will claim to have figured out the cause of autism, and it'll be acetaminophen (Tylenol). Here's an enormous study on this very correlation with stringent methodology and a sample size of 2.4 million children. TL;DR - There's no link jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:

🚨 Some of the best trolling of the FCC I could have imagined — being released. Adam Kinzinger is speaking truth to power. A MUST watch.
