MTV's The Real World was a pox on society. IMHO, not a lot of good came out of that show.

Pretti was not protesting, but the actual rule is "Don't bring a gun to a protest unless you're coming to shoot left wingers, then it's ok"

One letter does not an apology make. It's a start. Let's see if he actually puts in the work longterm.

Happy Monday!!! #BEABLESSING

So for the "it's class, not race" reductionists... apnews.com/article/sund...

Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.

As a reminder: whiteness as a concept and organizational structure is rooted in individualism, scarcity, competition, and the outsourcing of care from communities to governments. Moving from or through a lens of whiteness to address social problems will always fail.

This person right here is one of MY absolute favorite reporters/media personalities. I will be reading this book.

I guess we found out from Republicans this week the various ways that Second Amendment rights may be infringed.

Smirking at their own cruelty makes my point.

Pat Bagley, Salt Lake Tribune

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

And when you get back, not everyone will open the door for you. You are not guaranteed forgiveness. If you spend 10 years hurting someone, and ask, "If I spend 10 years making amends, will you forgive me?" Even if they say no, you should still do the work. Their forgiveness should not be your goal

There's the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Right-wingers legit have a 4-decade well-oiled machine—a network of thinktanks, funders, full-time activists, etc.—meanwhile lefty groups are comprised of people using PTO to protests and are getting small-dollar donations.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

@jesseduquette.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

She’s telling you reality. And that massive slush fund came from the OBBB. That GOP budget 0 Democrats voted for. There’s bills already to divert that money, by Democrats. There’s bills to force accountability & identification & to strip qualified immunity. All by Democrats. You need more Democrats.

I can't wait until this raggedy muthafucka is dead. I'ma celebrate.

Huge fuck you to every single fucking person who dared say we were overreacting in 2016 and 2024.

I’m sharing our stories from 2020 so people can see and connect the dots… the defund and abolition movements have been going on for a long, long time. Black folks been trying to tell y’all… for YEARS. Been leading these mvmts… for YEARS.

The government literally took a man’s gun away and killed him for filming them, and these derps will still tell you LIBERALS are the anti 2A ones

Mothafucka talking about “training” and there’s normie DEM voters in this country ‘bout ready to throw a Molotov cocktail into the nearest federal building

A merica is very recognizable. This is the same America it’s always been, you could just pretend not to see it before. - Adrienne Caulk Pic of the day #photography

Truth …..

One thing about me, I don't get "cabin fever." Being at home is my favorite place to be. So winter weather, storms and being snowed-in are never a problem for me. Going outside is the problem.

No I cannot coexist with people who voted for Trump. No I do not wanna share a space with those people. No we cannot still be “friends”. I will not allow people who don’t see others as human or have an ounce of empathy to be around me

The fact that conservative movements have dollars slushing around with random ancient billionaires has made them think that's the only way social movements are funded. Genuinely do not realise that this is not normal or how solidarity works. Pathetic.

A certain number of “regular” White folks realizing the corrupting nature of white supremacy and state violence is a start. Hopefully it sticks this time.

Benjamin Slyngstad @slyngstad.bsky.social

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Looking at you too, white women who stayed home or voted republican.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Variations are easy to make and can be thrown or dropped under cars.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Shoutout to Tyrese Haliburton for being a great human being

Because there was simply no other option. 🖖🏾

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

👇🎯 It's even worse. Not only is immigration a totally fake problem, but also it's the main reason 🇺🇸 has become the world's most prosperous & powerful country over the last 150 years. The idea that it's something to "fix" is entirely racism, white supremacy, & xenophobia. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

So to recap, since Wednesday: ICE sent a 5-year old out as bait, took his father, and then sent the 5-year old to one of the worst "detention centers" in the country. They sent a TWO YEAR OLD to Texas. Then they assassinated a man in broad daylight. This is just off the top of my head.

For those wondering, in 2003, the SARS outbreak led to FIFA moving the World Cup from China to the US on May 3, 2003, four months prior to the event’s scheduled kickoff. It kicked off September 20th (3 days earlier than the original scheduled start date).

If the majority demographic had an ounce of empathy. We'd be living in a more just society Everything happening now will need to be happening to them specifically before they're ready to act

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “How many more residents, how many more Americans, need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end … a great American city is being invaded by its own federal government.”
