Kendra reported out this piece in 2020 on how the media covers protests “The role of protest is to publicize grievances from people who typically exist outside of traditional power structures. It’s why freedom of assembly is written into the Constitution, along with freedom of the press”

REVIEW: The real murder in this whodunit adaptation “Towards Zero” is what they did to the Agatha Christie original Why adapt a murder mystery to the screen if you don’t care about the mechanics of the story to begin with?

Really love #1 Happy Family USA, on Hulu today. The irreverent new series, inspired by Ramy Youssef's teenage life, claims it's not a representation of Muslims or anyone else depicted, while also sincerely reflecting experiences of assimilation, post-9/11 Islamophobia and high school awkwardness.

Yes to all of this Not sure what the brand's reputation was more recently, but early on it distinguished itself as a place to buy household goods and other items cheaply ... but unlike Walmart & K-Mart, they didn't LOOK cheap and sad, they had a sense of design and style! Hence "Tar-zjay"

I often think of when Jeff Bezos sent William Shatner into low orbit because "haha spaceman funny" and when he got back he was deeply moved about the fragility of earth, the importance of caring for our one and only home... and they shuffled him aside because that wasn't the vibe they were going for

Snap curfews are not curfews. A curfew is a regulation or a policy, which means it needs to be clearly legible to the people it covers and to the people enforcing it. This is an expansion of police powers for the ad hoc creation of status offenses (actions prohibited for some people, here: kids)

That's the agricultural circle of life! People really just coast on "poor farmers from 50 years ago were struggling & getting pushed out" and don't do the math on what happens after 50 years of that 💀

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.

US farmers being wealthy is a relatively recent thing (since 1998) but it's absolutely true. The median US small family farmer has a net worth of ~$1.2M. That puts them in the top 10% of wealth for the United States. bsky.app/profile/sara...

Some stuff you can do for trans women right now today instead of/in addition to making posts about how trans people are valid: 1. Hire them 2. Donate to their gfms 3. Boost their work 4. Involve them in the conversation about what is happening worldwide to trans rights (looking @ u podcasts)

Someone just liked this outta the blue and honestly this is as good a time as any to boost this show Was one of my favorites of 2024 (though it premiered in Australia in 2021). If you have AMC+ (which carries Sundance Now programming) I highly recommend!!

You're correct on the date! Guess how one finds that out? BY CLICKING ON A LINK TO THE STORY! (which is why even a screenshot with alt text isn't enough, including links is essential)
