They were never defending freedom of speech. They were defending a right to monologue. The former cannot coexist with the latter.

Her entire vision of confronting the powerful boils down to “why not a white history month? provocation.

Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey has long cast his company as a defender of democracy.

We’re totally on your side except on policing, immigration, foreign affairs, support for trans people, regulations, anti-trust, healthcare and safety net spending

I was leaving the club in Austin one night and we stopped at an intersection walking back to the car when a tow truck bumping this song swung through with a driver nodding his head hard while smoking a Black & Mild was swinging the wheel & that was the coolest thing music.apple.com/us/album/bla...

Thing is pro athletes hear all types of things from fans all the time, they very rarely swing on fans though, so when a pro athlete swings on a fan you have to assume something extraordinary happened.

Watch this, also stop watching 60 Minutes. Frontline > 60 Minutes amd Bari Weiss. youtu.be/Lku5h9xjrqc?...

Funniest part is the first person was totally baffled as to what was going on cause they ain’t sharing nobody’s phone number.

The Candy Lady was a micro-economy calibrated to scarcity and a safety system that didn’t call itself one. In neighborhoods shaped by segregation, underinvestment, food deserts, or over-policing, the Candy Lady’s spit filled gaps the formal economy left behind www.kolumnmagazine.com/2025/12/21/t...

Sunday Taquitos #7: Raid at Santa’s Workshop Art by Ivan Ehlers.

I love a new meme format

I really don’t like seeing Aggies performing this well honestly.

It’s wild how quick the switch flipped on George Pickens, now Terry Bradshaw complaining about no showing up to team events etc

I was so mad

All she had to do was show love to the youth. That’s it!

Fire Matt Eberflus.

When I worked at this flooring company and the dudes thought I was middle eastern I used to hear the wildest shit. The boss had an attractive daughter who had dated a black guy and woo buddy

“We don’t have to listen to “the groups” anymore” is another way to put it as many have.

“A Home Depot in Los Angeles installed three high-pitch noise-emitting machines outside to deter day laborers from seeking work there, causing them to suffer headaches and nausea, advocates alleged at a press conference on Wednesday.”

The United Nations has taken notice of domestic protest repression on U.S. campuses.

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

it's white supremacism, full stop.

The US has boarded a third tanker, the Panama-flagged Bella-1 en route to Venezuela.

Taylor Sheridan and Tyler Perry have the same writers room. I will not elaborate.

This is where people misunderstand Future because 80% of his catalog is him crying over women and cautionary tales.

One of the reasons I hated "Traffic" so much. Even as a teenager the subplot with the girl rang some LOUD alarm bells.

The Phoenician Scheme (2025) good movie.

A gross historical fact about white slavery panics (that's all those narratives around trafficking going back 100 years that blame Black & Brown men for the trafficking of white women) is that anytime you dig into actual trafficking cases there's rich white men in the mix as purveyors and customers

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

You went to the judge to say y’all broke up. We’re supposed to believe y’all broke up.

They have no idea what real public safety is, much less, how to produce it.

Plus a lot of sex traffic busts are kids on the streets trying to survive. Many are LGBTQ & kicked out. The right never pushes for all kids to be loved or to systemically address safety nets. Instead every Repub with a gun wants to play saviour, inventing narratives that makes helping kids harder.

So many survivors are abolitionists based on experience. We’re not out here talking theoretically — I mean, I’m a theorist but also a survivor & abolitionist. People “out there” have trouble with complexity and ChatGPT & friends are not helping in the rise of authoritarianism/anti-intellectualism

If there only was a word for a governing system in which one set of laws applied to people of a specific race, and a completely different and much harsher set of laws applied to those of another race... www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

This do this with immigrants too the entire premise of the movie “End of Watch” is passing the scariest minority around torch from Black people to Mexican immigrants it’s a wild ass movie when you catch it.

Almost like drug free zones and SROs were about other things.....

As ida wells pointed out, you could identify slavery as a system of mass rape on the faces of black people but it only became a crisis once black people became citizens, as a convenient justification for subjugation
