True-Party Affiliation will be on the ballot this November. Truer: Republicans passed a discriminatory law to remove party affiliation for county races in only 5 Metro counties in 2028. Truest: We need to elect a Gov Bottoms and flip the GA State House and undo this mess!

The use of this language reminds me of the argument Barbara and Karen Fields make in Racecraft where they note that, despite the fact that almost every black American today can trace their lineage back further than white Americans, we still index white culture as the American one.

I need to add here that silicosis was still diagnosed even after “aggressive” protection equipment & procedures were put in place for the stonecutters. There is no countertop or remodel worth someone’s lungs or life.

Cannot say this enough: If a woman calls out rape culture, she's being "too sensitive" or a prude or she can't take a joke. If another guy looks you in the face and tells you that you're being a fucking freak, guys actually listen, which means giving your bud a pass is the worst thing you can do.

I’m so happy Martin Soto has been reunited with his family. His wife, Gabriela fought for this—when we visited Delaney and Elizabeth to check on Martin she was always there, fighting. As we celebrate Martin’s freedom, the fight to shut down Delaney and abolish ICE continues.

California voters, you have likely gotten your ballot or will get it soon, so let me give you two very important lifehacks: 1) The sooner you turn in your ballot, the sooner campaigns will stop sending you annoying texts/calls asking if you’re planning to vote 2) vote for me if you’re in AD-72

Public execution was never about justice, it was social control. It creates the illusion that something is being done with people who freak out about the existence of crime. Also that shit was the original watch party in the middle ages. We should not still be doing it

I don’t think teaching a canon is bad, and studying intellectual traditions as historical phenomena is important to understanding culture, past and present. What’s bad is teaching a specific canon as if it’s above history and somehow universal. The frame matters, as does what’s available beyond it.

Call me a pessimist but I don't think it's possible to eliminate sexual violence because I don't think it's possible to eliminate violence. I do, however, think it is possible to destigmatize surviving sexual violence and give survivors all the resources they need to not just heal but thrive.

I don't wish sexual assault or IPV or any form of abuse on anyone, the same way I don't wish a broken leg or cancer or mental illness on anyone, but I also don't think that people who live with any of these realities are somehow permanently ruined the way people talk about SA/DV survivors.

We all focus on Prop. 40, and that's not an accident. Villain-aires are funding a huge "NO on 40" campaign. But if their sneaky Prop 41 & 42 scams get more votes than 40, 40 fails. Then, as our state's medical care crisis unfolds, out comes the "government bad - time to privatize" stage of fascism.

70% of the US jail population is people in jail pretrial. All of them are "considered innocent," but a large percentage of them are also 100% innocent, and intentionally and callously falsely accused like this. Innocent Black men are falsely accused and held in jail pretrial for up to a year.

The good thing about 2026 is that it's clear that the white supremacists are at the helm. You don't have to argue with Chait et al. You never did. You don't have to read their work because they do not have the range. You can't learn anything.

In general, researchers find that a school’s Clery Act reported numbers of sexual assaults is NOT reliable enough to use as an indicator of the rate of sexual violence on campus OR the rate of reports made to Title IX.
