Oh crazy. How did they get there, CNN? This passive voice gives no indication so I have to assume that they buried themselves there as propaganda to make Israel look bad rather than the more obvious explanation that Israel murdered aid workers and then buried their bodies in a mass grave.

It's wild how we don't have the money for reliable plumbing, yet the cops get infinite money. Truly makes you question the priorities of the people in charge. Perhaps they like surveillance and harassment more than clean water?

I adore that in the past few set stories Loot has had Mama Vraska concerned for his wellbeing and every character except for some blue robed dickhead has been more than willing to help with babysitting duties

These are innocent people, seeking asylum, who have been shipped to the comic book version of a totalitarian labor camp, with zero process at all, based on a deeply xenophobic administration noticing their tattoos. It's fascism outright, at home, and history will damn the Democrats who are silent

Just gonna point out she is saying this just 50 yards or so from Lafayette Square, which sits immediately outside the White House and includes a giant statue of General Marquis de Lafayette, a hero of the Revolution and a visible reminder of the key role France played in securing U.S. independence.

Harvard alum here to say that what happens to Univ of Maine and other public universities like it is way more important than anything financial that is happening to Columbia right now because Columbia can withstand the financial storm. and our public unis serve people Columbia wouldn’t sniff at.

we love campus free speech. we need to let weird middle aged freaks go to the center of campus to yell at students about how they are faggots. but the second students start saying controversial things like “children shouldn’t be bombed” we must deport them

sigh Totalitarian regimes are not ones in which people stop working. The world does not suddenly become tinged with sepia when you are no longer free. Sunlight will still shine. Jobs will still exist—indeed, the issue you may have is it becomes harder to not work than ever before.

This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The only reason this hasn’t also been treated like an alarming constitutional crisis concerning free speech is because people in positions of influence in the media, business, and politics at least tacitly agree with the aims of this movement.

hey, cis folks i keep being like, "we need you to stand with trans people because there aren't enough trans people to win the fight alone" and...is it usually good for a tiny minority group when the government starts declaring their legal documents inherently fraudulent?

Law professor here—the proper term for when the executive decides that court orders aren’t binding on them because they don’t like them is “fascism.”

It's clear Chuck Schumer is not cut out to lead the senate Democrats. There needs to be a vote of no confidence and he needs to be replaced with someone willing to fight. Trump and Elon are dismantling democracy while Schumer whines and capitulates.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

"You can't policy your way out of a right-wing propaganda problem." Louder for the people in the back! At no point will any right-wing party be like "You know what, I think as a nation we are now cruel enough to immigrants and LGBTQ-people. Let's focus on something else for a change."

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

old Soviet joke: a man goes to a newsstand daily, picks up the paper, but never buys. one day the seller says “comrade, why don’t you ever buy a paper?” he replies, “I’m only looking for obituaries.” “but obituaries are at the back, not the cover!” he replies: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Increasingly what I'm seeing in liberal spaces is trans people being told we're an electoral liability. Increasingly what I'm seeing in progressive and leftist spaces is trans people being told that we're not important enough when compared with "real oppression." And honestly it's infuriating.
