Nobody cares about Bill Clinton except people that shouldn't really be heard from in politics anymore anyway.

We do not care if it’s Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Bubbles the monkey, Diana Ross, or every wig she’s ever owned. If the files show crimes, arrest them. Justice doesn’t do VIP passes. 🚓⚖️

I don't give a single solitary fuck about what happens to Bill Clinton, specifically, but I also want to go on record as saying there is no one, famous or a personal friend, who I hold so dear that if they were a rapist, I would not want that news coming out. Name, shame, prosecute. ALL. OF. THEM.

Again, I don't think this administration understands just how petty Washington DC is. National Airport changed it's name over 25 years ago. Area natives still call it "National."

To placate the base, Trump occasionally belts out a rant on Truth Social, sometimes peppered with racism to make people feel he's fighting for the white working class. Or he renames the Kennedy Center. But the material conditions for most voters remain unchanged. Pure symbolism.

Public Service Announcement! 🚨

There’s companies rn planning to layoff ppl in January after Christmas. They do that cuz they want u to think they tried their best to save your job over the holidays when in reality they didn’t. They were on an island somewhere living their best life

This year, if you have to be around shitty extended family with awful politics and generally fucked up opinions about life, give the gift of pettiness. Don't pull your punches, lean into the type of psychological trauma a mother who resents her children scars them with on the regular.

Altemeyer’s observation: the one survey question with the strongest power to separate right-wing authoritarians from others was not a political question at all but a question about child-rearing: What is more important, to raise children who are curious or obedient? RWAs choose obedient.

Here's the thing... the lesson is always on its way

I'm an expert in what I'm about to say: "You can buy your own health care" is, as a policy, fucking insane

This was interesting

the main purpose of this obviously is to justify discrimination by arguing it's happening to them already, it's justification by projection, something we're already very familiar with at this point

it is really illuminating however, that the concept of "systemic discrimination" is one they can fully understand when they want to (arguing why only white men should have prestigious jobs)

conservatives embrace disparate impact theory exclusively when it is (not) happening to them bsky.app/profile/anth...

It’s absurd. Look around your departments, colleges, professional societies. If woman of color were genuinely taking all the jobs the demographics would look a lot different.

Every article that gets written about how hard it is for white guys to get these jobs is counting on you not knowing that getting them has always been something akin to making it in pro sports. Disregard the authors and those publishing them. Either they're idiots or they think you are.

Quite apart from literally everything else, this is not how search committees work and there’s no reason to take the word of a guy who applied to a couple jobs and then gave up about how search committees work

Buck Roger's has passed. R.I.P. Gil Gerard.

...the bar for the rest of us believing you've learned & changed is higher. It's not enough to recognise that others think those views are wrong and to apologise; you must show that you yourself understand why the views were wrong and how you personally have learned & now reject those views

We should (almost) always resist a permanent judgment that people are irredeemable or incapable of rational and moral growth. But that growth must also be evident; people don't just change or learn over time or 'grow out' of immoral views and actions And if you first deny you ever held such views..

The fact that the MSM, including NPR, refuses to use the word "racism" when reporting these stories is not only shameful, it's dangerous. The country will never fix what it refuses to name.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

the dog outside just looking disappointed like “i told you stop messing with him !”

If this is the shit Diddy was getting away with…I can only imagine what Epstein and his mega rich friends were and are getting away with… If Diddy was running these schemes, what schemes was a prince getting away with? Their $$ & connections make Diddy’s look silly. #SeanCombsTheReckoning

Only the Falcons could get smoked by the crummy Dolphins, completely rocked by the Panthers and Bryce Young (twice!), and lose to the Jets and beat the Bucs in primetime in a game where David Sills was their best wide receiver and they set a franchise record for penalties Love my weird dudes

Why can’t the falcons play every game like it’s a TNF against the Bucs?

The Falcons are pure chaos lol

Look at my #Falcons!

Oh look. The Falcons missed both 2 point conversions. Should have been tied, now they’re down 2. Dummies.

It says a lot about how little Black people are valued in society that Liam Neeson saying he wanted to kill a Black man wasn’t the end of his career, but now he’s finally being cancelled after being on an anti vaxx doc.

an important detail, as he tells it, is that this was not just a thought he had. he literally went out looking.

Every time I see or hear his name, that’s the first thing that comes to mind. I haven’t watched anything he’s been in since.

the way people justify this when you bring it up with their own made-up version of events is gross too they've convinced themselves he learned and grew or w/e but all he did was say anger and violence are bad basically he didn't say shit about the racism

Everyone seems to have forgotten how Liam Neeson said out loud that he wanted to beat up random black men after a friend of his was raped. Like not the guy who did it, just any black man would do. I stopped watching his stuff after that. I don't care how funny the new Naked Gun is.

Langston Hughes said this about U.S. fascism in 1936. Jean Genet said this in 1970. SOMEHOW, b/c those “already living under conditions that resemble dictatorship,” were Black, white America refused to see it, discounted it, blamed Black Americans for their own oppression.😶 NOW, HOWEVER. . .🙄🙄

These are the same people who loser Democrats have been trying to “work with” for decades. Democrats are the loser wing of the Liberal-Conservative party. Republicans are the winners. Democrats will never win big because they don’t actually want to beat Republicans; they want to make friends.

Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics” Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics! (The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)

Republicans sound absurd trying to blame the media for why people feel negatively about the economy. Normal people know for themselves that their grocery costs are up and that their nephew has been job hunting all year.

This #Falcons game keeps getting worse, but I can’t turn away.

I’m still confused about the #Falcons touchdown that wasn’t.

The disrespect we’ve been seeing towards science, nursing and related fields, and research funding in general is going to bite this country so badly. This is legitimately the dumbest administration in U.S. history as far as I’m concerned

when you're not mad www.foxnews.com/media/ice-di...

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

The fact that Diddy hired a film crew leading up to his arrest let’s me know he 100% was arrogant enough to not only believe he was gonna get off… but he was gone drop his own doc after

Also if we lived in a world where health insurance providers were trying to ensure long-term health of those they cover, dental care would always be included as standard.

People keep telling me that private insurance providers will keep covering preventative care like vaccines because it costs them less in the long run—but I grew up in the before times. As in the times before the ACA.
