It’s funny because I grew up as a Black kid during the 90s and if “people think we’re bad” was as determinative as it’s being depicted me and everyone I know should be dead by now.

girls are nitpicked to death from cradle to grave, queer kids pressured to shut part of themselves down, kids of color treated like they come from degenerate stock & cultures, & people like them are being erased from history, sorry im not extending more than the normal amount of grace to ur son!

It's important to know that when tech bros say they are "data driven" what they mean by "data" is their own experience and the assumptions. This is why you regularly hear things like "UBI will destroy society" and "if you give away housing no one will work" despite all studies showing the contrary.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. First Trump illegally sent a child’s father to be imprisoned without trial or due process in El Salvador. Then ICE grabbed her mother to be deported to Venezuela. But despite the mom saying she wanted to leave with her daughter, ICE is keeping the baby!

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

"In autistic people, as in every member of the human species, God is pleased to dwell."

If you don't know about Texas SB37, it is a sweeping bill that will destroy every university in Texas. This bill has already passed the state Senate and is being considered by the state House this week.

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

Just a reminder that these assholes have a glass jaw and that authoritarians act out of weakness rather than strength. We need to take this fight to them and not let up until we never see them again.

Greta Thunberg is basically everything that self styled liberal internationalists in the US pretend to be

We're already living under authoritarianism. It's not "coming" or "approaching" - it is here now. Lots of vulnerable people need help. These are serious times.

If we make it out of this we have to agree that we are all going to stop pretending that MBAs have any special skills whatsoever

it's also the essential conservative fear at the moment - that your children will be different from you.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

We’re entering the “so much depends on whether the military will disobey orders” phase of authoritarianism. None of this is good and I wish I could say the danger of protesting and mass action isn’t rising. But it is, and yet the time for protecting and mass action is now.

it couldn't be more obvious they are preparing for eruptions this summer and a subsequent crackdown

One day later, he just voted to confirm David Perdue as Trump’s ambassador to China.

I just really want more of you to take the time to educate yourselves about US prisons and jails and how they ACTUALLY operate. They are torture chambers [this is not hyperbole.]

Only a fool yearns to be "Verified" by a website rather than being verified by the Lord

ISAAC CHOTINER: It’s just interesting, because my understanding is that you had a pretty good opportunity to destroy the one ring. ISILDUR: No, that’s not— IC: O.K. I: You have to appreciate what was happening. IC: Right. You’re in Mt Doom with the ring— I: Sauron was right there! IC: Sure.

"We cannot give everyone a trial," says the president of these United States.

I disagreed with Pope Francis's pro-life position. But I see now he has abandoned that.

The Pope living just long enough to have JD Vance visit the Vatican so his Secretary of State could tell Vance to his face that he doesn’t understand Catholicism is a level of hating I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.

can’t really be overstated how important it was that in an era where almost every single institution we have is being dragged towards fascism, one little old man devoted his life to shoving the world’s oldest institution towards more charity, grace and inclusivism.

Oh boy.

Weapons Formed Against You Found Prospering During Recent UN Inspection

No surprise here. What was the point of the FedSoc’s 40 year project to annex the courts if a GOP president is going to turn around and neuter the judiciary?

Reports coming out that say Katy Perry is spreading through the galaxy like the protomolecule from The Expanse.

Short term, I shoot myself in the foot. Long term, it's good news. I learn to walk without the foot. I do a three-legged hop, a tarantulan creep. Babadook-like movements. People will ask "why do you do this?" and I will say "it's important I blow my foot off for no reason." They respect this.

you wonder how we ended up living in a country with an ultra militarized police force that goes around killing at will but smile and nod your head at “the legal kind of deportations are good” ok
