Black person jaywalking: “throw them under the jail” White assassin: “I mean, surely we’ve all belonged to a religious cult that thinks leftists should die”

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Based on some quick math, this alone could fund the NSF Plant Genome Research Program for ~4 years; the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology, which was totally axed in the NSF budget request, for ~9 years; and ~ half the total NSF GRFP budget

The current unrest in Los Angeles is a lot different from the last time a U.S. president called out the National Guard to respond to violence on the streets.

Protest reporting isn’t taught it’s learned and all these legacy media anchors on the ground are taking more away than what they’re giving to the situation. Narrative control is key to the perception of power and it’s rarely captured by desk correspondents. IMO.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

A new study has found that by 2020 the average ocean condition worldwide was already very close to – and in some regions beyond – the planetary boundary for ocean acidification. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Reminder. Also, from a political standpoint, Democrats should be rushing to introduce legislation to abolish ICE. ICE is incredibly unpopular with their base, and regardless of what you think of these think pieces, we're seeing Republicans and conservative voters openly critique ICE/their actions.

It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred. Rest In Peace, Jonathan, and know your legacy is carried with love. May the world change for the better, with peace for all.

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

The Trump administration will define “terrorism” as expansively as it can to carry out its censorship agenda. Just ask Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil. Let’s not hand the president more opportunities to abuse his power.
