One of my students today told me he wants to rage bait me by speaking Spanish in an awful rural accent. This sweet summer child could say "grassy a**" every day for the next 4 years & I wouldn't bat an eyelash. I was a fat teen in the 1990s. DO YOUR WORST

GenX check in from the Xiennial little sis, between the news of Rob Reiner and Tony Geary's transition. Y'all good?

I don't think I've ever said this about any director,but there's not one Rob Reiner movie that I didn't like. What a tragedy.

Some people took down entire websites, changed mission statements and mandates or dropped entire projects at the start of this year But kept the job Kept the title and kept posting online telling other people what they can do to save the world But couldn’t even hold the line themselves.

Again, people keep saying this as if we haven’t been seeing the same thing play out at Columbia smack dab in Harlem.

PSA- If you're thinking about posting a "Don't get your child's teacher Bath and Body Works soaps/mugs/candy" for Christmas, KEEP IT IN THE DRAFTS. If a child thinks enough about you- given current economic situations- to give you a token of appreciation. Be thankful. It's still free to be decent

If you’ve never thought about whether you’d use your body in an attempt to protect children who aren’t yours, now’s a good time to stop talking and listen.

This whole thread is so critically important and speaks to the outright attack on public education as well.

Trusting God enough to believe in myself. Therapy will really set you free if you let it 😭🙌🏾

#Eagles break their losing streak with a shut out.

If I delete my Threads will it delete my IG account too? Because IT IS GHETTO OVER THERE!!!

So, right after I looked at Diego Pavia saying "F the Voters" in his IG story, a link to his interview on Ryan Clark's podcast mentioning his faith in Christ comes up. Gotta be quicker than that algorithm

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)

I almost completely forgot about Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoos. They're buying his excuse that he didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo is quite indicative of how racist their smears are against Jasmine Crockett.

People are showing more grace to the white guy who took 18 years to cover up racist tattoos than a Black woman who has been using her platform to fight inequality since she got here. This is #TheDoubleTax.

Here in the US, we have so many mass shootings (400 this year) that we barely pay attention to them. In Australia, shootings are rare. But antisemitic attacks have been on the rise – homes graffitied, synagogues burnt – as they have around the world. We must not become numb.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

A Muslim stopped a massacre of Jews on Hanukkah

During the Michigan State shooting in 2023, there were survivors of the Oxford High School shooting in 2021 present. A national horror. A sin and a shame. We have failed our children.

You don't get to murder us because Israel did terrible things. You don't get to murder us and call it pro-Palestinian. You don't get to murder us.

if i were a young person that survived multiple (!!!) school shootings at different schools and the big fancy media outlets interviewed me about it and all of that was to absolutely no effect that would really, really demoralize me

we’re (white folks) really good at exempting ourselves from any admonition of guilt. beyond much of an “oh that sucks; someone else did that, not me.” And those that feel guilt, their (perceived) powerlessness turns to apathy quickly as self preservation takes over.

Hey, you know how 👩🏿 can be vocal about wanting an end to the g e n in P a l WHILE ALSO NOT being antisemitic & saying things like the terrorist attack in Australia during Hanukkah (bc that's what it was) was an I D F "inside job/plant" for sympathy, but 👩🏼👩🏻🧔🏻🧔🏼‍♂️leftists can't? Wonder why that is?

There should be 20 young people on their way home from college, bags of laundry in tow, ready to relax and enjoy the Holiday season after another fall semester in college. Maybe even introducing new boyfriends/girlfriends at the Holiday table. Sadly, 13 years ago this was taken from them.

There is nothing more disturbing, more dystopian and sadly more American than going off to college to be in a mass shooting, after surviving one in high school, on the eve of the Newtown shooting

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings. Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018. Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered. And now…again.

Kayso.......I don't know how ending the life of people in Australia celebrating Chanukah is gonna stop the thing in P a l everyone is so upset about.

This is clearly someone with a humiliation kink who doesn't want solitary supporters in his browsing history. But if he IS serious, if working class solidarity and socialism means standing side by side with unapologetic bigots who would hard R slur me? HARD PASS!

You can also simply do the job without the racism.

I hope this ratio tells this author why he's lost the plot about workers' rights. In most cases, yes, it should be hard to get fired. This is one of the few very specific cases where, no, get the fuck out, nobody wants you here.

Don't read. He is ok with racism. So Arash is a racist.🤷🏿‍♀️

So tired of non-blacks opining on what anti-Black racism is okay. F that.

If the hate the Blacks unemployed, then they get a job, they'll still hate the Blacks, and sadly have more means and money to act on said hate

It's the same mentality Bernie Sanders has about racism: if we can just find The Blacks some jobs, then White people won't hate The Blacks. That's not how it works.

He sees racism as just mean words and not as a system and Cinnabon only fired Crystal to save themselves from being boycotted (which is true). But suggesting Cinnabon find Crystal a job away from the public instead of firing her is actually feeding into the system of racism.

It is not bad or immoral to cut someone loose and set them adrift when their actions are endangering other people. Crystal’s actions could’ve triggered a boycott of Cinnabon, leading to others losing their jobs so Crystal had to go. Cinnabon can’t care about Crystal’s job more than she did:

You can't support someone getting fired for being racist to customers... Because you're a socialist?

That's a lot of words just to tell us you're racist, Arash.

The just society where workers have to win a union vote to not have coworkers scream racial slurs in their faces. If this seems like a good idea to you, the only revolution you'll ever serve is a genocidal fascist one.

The real impediment to lasting social change is this constant need to appease and tolerate the same white people who would spit on you if given the opportunity. There are A WHOLE LOT of people to care about before we get to the unrepentant racists. Racists can sit in the back of the bus.

Azizi, take the L man. Crystal is wrong. Cinnabon is correct in firing her, and I think maybe your racism is showing by defending her?

Can we have a moratorium, just for the rest of December, on rancid takes that attempt to insulate white supremacists, misogynists, rape apologists, transphobes and other pieces of shit from their shittiness? Just as a little holiday treat?

He's got a typo in his piece. He put socialist when he should have put racist. This has nothing to do with socialism and everything to do with racism. Socialists fire people for being heinous bigots.

White people are on a spiritual journey… And bubba it is ROCKY But while they are on the journey… don’t you take your brown fingers down to the Atlantic magazine and start to click clacking defenses for indefensible behavior

Perhaps more importantly… and a lesson we should all take from this Don’t help white people make poor decisions

She was fired for participating in the grandest of American traditions… Being an idiot

There are millions of people who are racists and still have a job… They happen to understand that racism is a silent luxury… best enjoyed with passing looks

“Should people who are racist lose their jobs” I think that’s a poor question and a faulty line of inquiry Because she didn’t lose her job because she was racist She lost her job because she provided a poor customer experience

Racism is literally a national security threat…
