At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I was just thinking about how it’s been SIX YEARS since I bought MOTS tickets, and SO MUCH has happened since then. Both in my own life and ::waves hands:: everything else. Like HOW? It feels like last year and also ten years ago simultaneously. Time has no meaning.

Just absolute evil.

one of the strangest and most frustrating things about being alive today is that we have science and research on basically every issue, but it always gets pushed aside in favor of some guy who thought about it for one minute and thinks he knows the answer

The only way out of all this is comprehensive immigration reform, which means the only way out of this is eliminating the Senate filibuster. End of discussion. When you hear the word filibuster, think about Renee Good. About kids being detained. Don't let Senators bullshit you about this anymore.

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

Tickets achieved!

can I just get clarification on who "we" is in this sentence, because it seems to me that the person who invented the resource-guzzling shit extruder and profits from the resource-guzzling shit extruder is surely the one who needs to come up with a purpose for the resource-guzzling shit extruder.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Does anyone else need this? No? Just me? Okay.

remarkable how much contempt this white house has for the nation’s historical and artistic treasures

Virginia Democrats, who have just taken over the Governorship, are putting forward legislation to create a state-run paid family and medical leave program. The program would pay qualified workers up to 80% of their average weekly salary for up to 12 weeks.

When one of the Syrian journalists I am honored to work w learned that he and his colleagues had been under surveillance by the regime, he told me, "I like to think that we wasted their time, and that was time when they weren't arresting and torturing others. I'm proud of our little contribution."

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Remember, Scott Adams won't see your posts focusing on his late-career bigotry, but J.K. Rowling might.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

BREAKING: Republicans are trying to abolish the estate tax, as part of a bill they call "Making the American Dream Affordable Again." The reality is this would let the super-rich transfer their wealth to the children, and cost the government $281 billion over the next decade.

i just realised that their chests are supposed to bump in a dap but this never quite makes it all the way there 😵‍💫 not only is eye contact for chumps... 🥺

This week has been a lot. I don’t even have words for all this shit the news. So here are a couple of random pictures of soft boys currently making me smile. Happy Friday, my friends.

The creators of these apps make choices. Grok was created with the production of deep-fake abuse imagery as an option and that was a choice. The fact that the app is still producing these images, for free, with no restrictions, for anyone who wants them, is also an ongoing choice by its creators.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

I can’t deal with this ridiculous boy right now.

"They are defined by refusal: refusal to soften, refusal to clarify, refusal to behave as though being understood is the goal. If the first year proves anything, it's this -XLOV are not trying to be seen. They are deciding how they will be looked at. " This article is soooo good.

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

Make it viral.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar
