Perhaps it is not shocking that the states where people in prison can vote are Maine and Vermont. What DO those states have in common, who can say.

we are going to have to find an alternative to meta products for local communities and advertising, right now, it’s almost impossible to do any kind of local business or art project without it, but both their rules and support are so arbitrary and capricious that you can’t rely on them

I love how whenever I start research for a project and come across the name of an obscure right wing mega donor then Google them and learn that every time I buy something simple like trash bags I’ve been giving money to a fascist

whenever we get close to seeing a systemic problem with policing, media rushes to frame it as a training problem. however, police culture is at the core of its mistreatment of victims and rape cases. policing is a tool of white supremacy AND *male* supremacy

I've been covering the death penalty in depth for a dozen years now, and few nights have been as disturbing and dispiriting as tonight. This was a moral, ethical, and legal failure on several different fronts from many different actors. It wasn't *just* SCOTUS, though they sure were a key part.

After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

It's amazing how some people dehumanize others simply for choosing a transportation method that doesn't involve a car. They also hate traffic and other drivers, while simultaneously seething with rage at anyone walking, cycling, or proposing we fund better public transit.

As an institution, marriage has some of the best PR in history. And, we (those of us in it, and those of us looking in from the outside) buy into the myths we're told about it. But, if we understood that patriarchy is still running things, we'd realize that marriage is a conservative institution.

What is the downside for Republicans in ignoring the law? The courts don’t actually do anything. The Democrats don’t do anything. The mainstream media acts like THE FUCKING LAW is just a differing opinion. No downside at all.

Reviving this thread on why the gentry — liberal and conservative — *really* hate trans communities and trans organizing. I think this explains a lot about why more Dem candidates are going openly anti-trans even though it hurts their electoral chances. They regard us as a threat.

You need to start understanding this: you cannot let Democrats keep moving farther right if you want to have a country worth living in. Democrats moving right is what got us where we are today. Not only do they need to stop that in order to win, you won't like what comes next if they win anyway.

More bummed than I’d like to be about the passing of Duncan Sheik. In 1996-1997 I was intensely in love with his eponymous album, the one with Barely Breathing. These songs told my truths before I ever realized they were my truths, and it turns out I know them off by heart to this very day.

Sports is a wealthy, powerful industry. We’ll cover the system instead of the games. We’ll ask who’s responsible for some of its biggest problems and who’s preventing them from being fixed.

"Enjoy the camps" is a succinct summation of the current moment trans people find ourselves in. People who insist they're allies also loudly proclaim they won't lift a finger to help us, will say nothing when we're attacked and even tacitly agree with the attacks, and still claim moral superiority.

I've been thinking about this a lot because of all the talk about how Dolly Parton "didn't take sides" and I think she's proof that if you don't want to talk about politics you don't have to, but she took sides with her money & her actions and her side was pretty clear. So is Sheeran's, I guess.
