Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.

because i can't get this shit off my brain: one of the things that guides my thoughts on getting rights, affecting political change, is the history of disability rights activism. how was this achieved, you might wonder? patient, gentle conversation? mmm. nah. www.denverpost.com/2017/07/05/a...

This rundown of the factors leading to political violence "from all stripes" is one of the worst paragraphs I have ever read.

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

Infants can literally just stop breathing and die with no warning from “whooping cough” (pertussis) infection. They do not necessarily even get the infamous cough that older children and adults get (and can be severe enough to break ribs). Do not let unvaccinated people around your newborns (or you)

He took over a small antivaccine group he liked in 2015, turned it into his own propaganda & money-laundering org that became the biggest antivaxx source in the world and made him more than $20K/week. You have to be very intentionally stupid to think this started in 2020 or was ever about liberalism

RFK Jr. removed all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee. Some of their vaccine votes, like RSV and meningococcus, might now be up for a re-vote. There’s no CDC director, no public explanation, no clarity. 🧵

using "the other guy sucks!" as a voting tactic is bad both because 1) if you announce you're willing to vote for a bad candidate just because the other guy is worse, that's all you'll get & 2) it clearly doesn't work, as evidenced by how the worse parties win at least half of the time anyway

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

thing i'm always on about one of the reasons why you can't "do things the way they did in the 60s" as lefties are scolded so often to do is that media made a move towards not reporting on protests instead of front page smearing so as to smother oxygen. and this applies to regular lib protests too

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Just to be clear, these court verdicts have nothing to do with scientific fact. They make money off lying about vaccines. These people are compromised. They have a personal, financial agenda against vaccines. So much for “radical transparency.” RFK Jr. himself makes most of his money the same way.

I'll always appreciate the beauty of the old Irish song "Go on Home British Soldiers". I played it in Syria to a friend who immediately vibed with it. I suspect many L.A. residents will too. Nothing more natural than seeing an armed stranger and asking, "have you got no fucking home of your own?"

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

This is a response to an oppressive regime deploying a rogue agency to mass deport people without due process to a Salvadorian gulag, not some "political disagreement" like a Twitter argument. This such a dishonest fucking take.
