I can't stop thinking about how many men read that Snapchat and did nothing. How many men in that house knew a woman was being gang raped and did nothing. This is why we say all men. Bc it's your friends, your besties, your fellow frat bros and you do nothing to stop them.

I am a rationally pissed off at this list because it makes me realize how little I have watched in the last 25 years. I had to get to 70 before I even saw a title I've watched. There's three titles in total that I've seen. Less than 10 are even in my que to watch.

I believe in bodily autonomy. I support the right to die. But when those in power judge worth based on economic output, programs like this will a be weaponized against the disabled. We are seen as a drain on society. A negative on a balance sheet. We deserve the right to LIVE with dignity first

This is why we say a capitalist society can’t be trusted to ethically administer assisted dying. If it was considered unethical to suggest death to someone with terminal illness, why is it ok to do it to the disabled? Why are people having it pushed at them in lieu of treatment?

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

Texas is going to fuck this up just like they always fuck it up because Democrats are focusing way too fucking much on Talarico and not giving Hinojosa, Goodwin, and Johnson enough attention which means they're not getting enough money and without those seats Talarico's win is a hollow victory.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Hot take? There comes a point where we need to consider capping tips because a $40 tip is bullshit unless the service is from waitstaff that only covers your party. Depending on the restaurant, $165 might only cover a dinner of 4. There are people with college degrees who don't make $40/hr.
