The ongoing battle between the person minding their own business walking down the street and the mugger who just pistol-whipped them. The conflict escalated when the victim tried to call the police.

Jesse Watters, Tim Burchett. A couple more weirdos so insecure in their masculinity they’re afraid to drink out of straws and you got yourself a movement.

I actually want to say this really loudly because I am not seeing other non-Jews say it enough. The Israeli diplomat shooting was an antisemitic hate crime. Yes, most allegations of antisemitism within the anti-genocide movement are bullshit. THIS was antisemitism parading as anti-genocide.

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

I've seen this argument made MANY times, including by supposed public transit advocates. And what happens when cars become inaccessible isn't "oh everyone takes the bus." It's, "women get trapped at home." And kids. And disabled people.

my politics is pretty simple in that I think the Republicans who consistently do shitty things should shoulder the blame for doing the shitty things

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

When you see politicians and law enforcement omitting this man's motivations, respectfully push back and provide the evidence from the article below. The murderer was motivated by the rhetoric of the anti-Israel movement and side stepping this does not protect Jews.

Posting data that the public is against something is all well and good. Even farming up the data itself is all well and good. Ignoring political realities, that there is a party that will do whatever they're told (and I think that'll hold for the Senate too) is just leading to heartbreak.

Not much, just thinking about how authorial voice is a thing that never really has been sold in commercial fiction. Just notions of action, specifically what kind of action, and plot and twistiness. When the fact is that voice is the thing that makes a novel work or get tossed.

"Perhaps that’s the first thing we need to acknowledge to ourselves: nothing will feel like enough because everything we know and love is at stake. No individual’s actions will be commensurate with the threats we face. But we can each endeavor to do the next right thing, whatever that means for us."

If you want elected Democrats to "fight" you best understand that it will be Black Democrats on those front lines. And so you best have their backs when they're unconstitutionally asked to suffer the consequences. Defend Rep @replamonica.bsky.social My latest in @thenation.com

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

First of all, MAGA Murder Budget is great. Second, asking people which messages would be most persuasive to them is worse than useless. Human beings are terrible at reporting why they believe things!
