Don't let the bigots set the agenda for the nation. Don't try to meet them halfway, or justify your stance. Don't dignify this as something worth debating. Dismiss them as hateful weirdos whose obsession with this issue automatically disqualifies them from polite company and political leadership.

"Well, senator, I realize *you* can't stop thinking about middle-schoolers private parts, but I happen to think the cratering economy and murderous state goons killing people in our streets are more important than the sanctity of a damn swim meet or whatever you're prattling on about today"

I remain convinced that the most effective response to a politician or a pundit who's pushing transphobia is "I'm not sure why you're obsessed with other people's genitals but it's really creepy"

The answer to the question "Why is that terrible thing happening?" is usually "Because it makes some rich white guys wealthier" or "Because it helps shore up US planetary domination" or "Because Israel wants it," and it's usually some combination of all three.

honestly if some venture capitalist /tech mogul can remake an entire university in a matter of a year or two in exchange for around 2 days of Bezos’s salary(USC founded 1880), it means that any rich person can do anything to any of our institutions at any time unless we take them back systematically

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Christ the video of that killing is horrifying. But what happens in it is also far worse than calling it a shooting gets across. It is an execution. There’s a single unjustifiable shot and then a decision to just fire several more rounds into a prone victim.

"He had a gun" is just the latest MAGA variation of "we are allowed to kill you whenever we want." Because they definitely think they're allowed to carry loaded weapons wherever they like.

Federal agents were assaulting women: striking them, shoving them to the ground, pepper spraying them. Alex Pretti acted in solidarity with those women rather than in loyalty to other men who had strength of arms and state power. A betrayal to white supremacist patriarchy he was murdered for.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.
