Republicans enacted the largest cut to food stamps in the program's history and millions of people have since lost access. The people I spoke to say it's not because they no longer need help; they desperately need it but can't get through new red tape. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

To the people saying “due process,” what steps have you taken towards ensuring rape victims get due process, particularly around the over 100,000 untested kits in the US? Have you petitioned for better funding? For no statutes of limitations so the backlogs don’t mean victims get no justice?

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

OK, so just as I have to yell at my fellow Americans "air conditioners *are* heat pumps!" to combat basic ignorance of what the tech actually is, Europeans need to hear "heat pumps *are* air conditioners" because y'all are making arguments which don't make sense if you see why heat pumps are good.

Even before the convention, I’d been seeing and hearing a lot of Texas republican campaign ads and it really feels like the thing they’re zeroing in on as the main issue for the year is “sharia law” and more broadly the presence of Muslims in the state. Like they think Muslims have invaded the state

When your movement is built on intense paranoia and the constant surveillance of gender presentation, no one is safe from scrutiny -- not even the movement's own champions. All fascist movements eat themselves because fascism requires a constant supply of "traitors" to be subjugated.
