The Argentinian player that scored the 1st goal against England, is the same one that uploaded a social media video of himself singing racist and transphobic songs about Black French players. The transphobia was included to insult Kylian Mbappé, and to isolate trans people from public life.

My LinkedIn is full of posts by former Microsoft colleagues who accepted the voluntary retirement offer. I counted at least 9 posts from people I worked with in the past. For some reason, it felt even sadder than layoff posts. It was hard to put into words until this post from a now ex-Microsoftie.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has delivered on his signature campaign promise after New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 to approve the first-ever two-year rent freeze in the board's history for roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments across the city.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you dislike the Democratic party and think that you can do better, then please run for our nomination!♥️🗳️ If you win, they become your resources. If they help you win, they're your volunteers. Ask Dems to invest time, money, and energy. Many will say yes.

Happy Juneteenth! When we celebrate the time that racist Texans tried to keep slavery going for another 2 years after abolition. But "the news🤡" of abolition reached their slaves! By "the news" I of course mean Black soldiers from the United States Colored Troops that liberated the Black Texans.

Amazing compressed summation of the horrible nature of the "anti-DEI" movement: "[excluding] diverse people to accommodate diverse views about those people's inferiority" (it's a dense, carefully worded statement ... take the time to parse it all out.)

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

It's hilarious to me how much white Dems are like "Yes ICE is terrible. Yes cops do exactly the same things as ICE, at 10x to 100x the scale, but they target Black people, so that's OK! We have to be careful what arguments we make about ICE, or we will immediately have to reckon with the police."

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Almost every reason people have for defunding or abolishing ICE is also a reason to defund or abolish the police, yet many people who are rightly calling for action against ICE would never come close to doing to the same for police. But this fight goes beyond just ICE. ICE represents a larger issue.

When you help make it so the only names people know are Pretti and Good, you reinforce the culture that says these things aren't "bad enough" until white people get involved. This has been going on for a whole year. Many non-white people have died in this same way trying to protect their neighbors.

This open murder of an unarmed citizen is shocking even though it was always going to happen. It was an inevitability, and there have been plenty of voices saying so for the past two years. Every editorial decision to ignore those voices in favor of soft-selling this regime contributed to it

Sustained, widespread, and disruptive civil unrest. Don't let up when they throw the individual under the bus, sustain it until we start addressing the _systemic_ parts. We have to find _some_ way to eliminate this gestapo, the tyrants behind them, and flaws in our systems that enabled its rise.

Phase 3 is complaing about both a) the rising costs of incarceration an additional 10M+ people, and b) the lack of manual agricultural labor now that undocumented immigrants have been expelled from the US. The answer to both will be "prison labor on a scale not seen since US chattel slavery."

For folks still struggling with the math: There are ~345 million US citizens. There are ~245 million white US citizens. This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people. Not "undocumented criminals." Not even "all undocumented people."
