“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

For all its obsession over ‘DOGE’, we had a massive example of government fraud and waste recently - it was called the PPE scandal - and the right totally ignored it

Since there are zero reports of injuries to cops but several of entire neighborhoods being tear-gassed, as a pacifist I am very comfortable saying that the nonviolence requirement has been fulfilled and then some and anything that happens is entirely the responsibility of the Trump administration

I remember when a ton of people called the Left insane for saying we should abolish ICE. It wasn't even that long ago.

Willi Castro, baseball player for the Minnesota Twins used the trans flag as eye black to showcase his support for our community. I hope he realizes how much this matters for trans people. Especially when the MLB is considered to be a very macho sport. I have so much respect for him. King shit! 🏳️‍⚧️

Likely in light of the situation in LA, ICE leadership just put out a pretty outrageous message to politicians: “I’m demanding they stop.” He specifically calls out Mayor Wu and Hakeem Jeffries.

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person We all have value just for being ourselves It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics Disabled people aren’t expendable!

A genuine problem in all of these discourses is a very weird, insular and self-centered view of what "normal people" believe, which is fueled both by the assumption that "normal" is the same as "good" and the much more damaging one that there's any such thing as "normal" to begin with

Tonight I heard the single worst song I have ever heard in my life. It was by a band called Train that apparently has 25 million followers on Spotify. How can anyone hear a song like that and not want to die instantly

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”
