JFC without the real "woke 1" you would have never been on SNL, you dumbass. HBO never airs "Bring The Pain". It's amazing how a lot of these dudes have transitioned their language directly from "me too" to "woke" even when real wokeness benefitted them. It's so so sad.

2 Illinois residents say they were detained at Broadview, released without charges, then branded domestic terrorists to millions by Johnson. It appears to be the first such suit against one of the admin's corps of MAGA creators who make propaganda in exchange for access. www.ms.now/news/benny-j...

MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson sued for defamation over ICE ride-along videos calling protesters ‘terrorists’
Johnson accompanied top DHS officials last year to an ICE protest, where he pointed out “left-wing terrorists” for his millions of followers across social media.

Right. Because he's not running for any office. Republicans have done a lot of dumb things over the last 15 years, but making a person not running for office the boogie man in an election he is not running for any offices in is among the stupidest.

Trans people have been saying this for YEARS. But, oh no, it’s not until they discover that punching down and beating trans people to a pulp is not having the desired effect and, if anything, it’s leading to things that could affect them and their loved ones. Honestly, this makes me want to scream

Republicans are using transphobia "as a wedge issue for the broader erosion of rights," Hack said. "We saw this playbook with abortion where they incrementally rolled back reproductive rights. And it's incumbent upon Democrats to prove to us that they will stand by our fundamental freedoms."

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

Of course US test scores are down. We've had a person in the White House for 6 of the last 10 years who has made it quite clear he doesn't give two shits about education. It's mindblowing to me everybody seems to be looking to blame everybody but the guy who dismantled the Dept of Education.

This clearly means they don't think anything is going to happen to them and if it does, they feel like they will be exonerated by the Supreme Court. Which is a sad state of affairs for the country.

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."
With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will …
