It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

The modern condition of waking up to horrible news from all over the world and just having to shove that all back down and get on with your silly little job 😞

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

The news reports right now are mentioning just that Jonathan Joss was shot and killed "after an argument with a neighbour." The truth is much much worse.

The relationship that the Jewish community has to the State of Israel is more fraught than people outside our community know.

Just going to put it out there that I don’t think a gunman going to a Jewish event at a Jewish museum is asking people “hello are you Jewish” before shooting them and also I don’t think the fact that they might not be Jewish reduces the antisemitism inherent in the act

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

If you are “gleeful” because fascists are destroying the country so fundamentally it may never recover because it may help you win elections, even though you do nothing to help those in the most need you are not a party that anyone should have anything to do with. Corporate democrats🤝fascists

It is always worth noting that even if you don’t care about people being able to live - and you should - it is better for the stability of society as a whole to not have a huge population of desperate, starving and resentful people.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university. University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

In case anyone needs to hear this, authoritarianism constantly shifts narratives and understandings, creating new opportunities to question laws and norms and things like birthright citizenship. Pay attention to which people accept these shifts, who engage in the ensuing debate. Collaborators.

A lot of people, including in my hometown, just had their lives destroyed by a horrific storm. Remember when the media and politicians talk about how “strong” and “resilient” these communities are that they’re saying they don’t need that much help. It’s one of Neoliberalism’s most insidious tricks.

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

SK: The military has been used against Americans on US soil for centuries. The key is who gets to be defined as “American”. Attacks on Black Americans, Native Americans, or Japanese-Americans during WWII ...The same thing is happening now to immigrants and green card holders, including Americans...

Hasan did nothing wrong but please, please do not talk to the Feds the way he did. Please. You might have to stay longer but they are going to try and use whatever you say against you. Stay silent, say you won't speak without an attorney etc. Shut the fuck up Friday applies to streamers!

Never assume that you know a stranger or a friend's financial situation. You don't. So if you ask for donations & people don't give, you really need to keep it moving. There are 1000 reasons why folks don't give and those reasons aren't your business. Thank those who do give & move on.

This is violence. It’s eugenics. It’s fucking evil. And the worst part is it’s gonna get very little attention and most people aren’t even gonna notice cause y’all have simply moved on.

Part of the reason Trump’s eugenics have taken hold at the policy level in the US is that so many of us just don’t think disabled people deserve to live if their safety comes anywhere close to being in perceived conflict with our convenience. We all deserve better than that.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

If I converted to a new religion as an adult and made it my entire identity, only to be told by two leaders in a row that I was wrong about the central tenet of my worldview, I would simply not show my face in public again.
