I sometimes wonder how many people outside the Black community know about this…. “Eleven people were killed, including five children and the founder of the organization. Sixty-one homes were destroyed, and more than 250 citizens were left homeless.” www.vox.com/the-highligh...

Really is insane seeing people claiming that it's good for trans people that they were banned from the US Military because the US Military is evil. Maybe you could argue that it's good for the world that the USA is making its military worse by arbitrarily banning people, but it isn't...

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%. A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time. Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.

Either transgender Americans are important enough to warrant year after year of breathless coverage questioning their healthcare and existence, or they're so insignificant that destroying their rights is the "least consequential" action of a presidency. www.readtpa.com/p/not-exactl...

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

The other sin here is thinking that these issues are separable in the first place. They aren't. These dots are not separate or even separable issues. Believing that you can parse anti-DEI from "RFK Jr. And Science" and "trans issues" as if they're not intimately linked is beyond foolish.

"so few lives." in the same breath as noting that it's outsized and outstandingly cruel to target such a small population. I don't think this person actually understands what the words they're using mean.

Re-sharing with alt text. This is so deeply repugnant. The NYT has utterly failed us when it comes to political coverage. Follow independent and local media/journalists instead. Starter packs to follow.

I agree with Parker here: a significant chunk (if not most) of the leopards-eating-faces stories we are seeing right now are better framed as "the mainstream media knowingly misled their readers/viewers by covering Trump's obviously false campaign statements as though he weren't a pathological liar

Hey all, you should check out Ronin Island, by @gregpak.net At its core, it asks "what do you do when your community claims to be inclusive and equitable, but you know it isn't, then it asks you to save it even though you know it wouldn't save you?"

Something to understand about the nazi salute nonsense is that back during Reconstruction there was a cottage industry of Klan denial, where Democratic papers would pretend the KKK didn't exist or point to their stupid rituals as evidence they were a Republican delusion or otherwise harmless
