This Emmys money/speech time nonsense is really terrible. CBS is quite happy to be state television.

If you are a white parent of a white son, you have an obligation to do better. To be better. To work harder than you probably thought you’d have to. I have white friends who are parents and they’re doing it. If your son is listening to Charlie Kirk, you have utterly failed as a parent.

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

When you refuse to call out racism because it makes life more convenient for you, then you are enabling racism. If you are truly antiracist, seeing racism will stress you out. Train yourself to be so antiracist that combating racism alleviates your stress instead of adding to it.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

What happened to the promises Republicans made to support veterans? Nothing but empty words. Veterans are being thrown under the bus to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Firing thousands of VA staffers means longer waits and worse care for those who sacrificed for our country.

Experts say that when people face trauma, we should listen, we should never criticize their reactions, we should only give advice when asked to and allow them to express themselves how they need to. White folks, apply the same rules when talking to Black people about racism. Racism is trauma.

the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

Capitalism has told us that the American Dream is becoming a megamillionaire or even billionaire. The American Dream should be collectively building a society where nobody starves or goes homeless, and everybody is treated equally, fully insured and paid a living wage.

“Usefulness to society” is not a precursor for the right to due process. We have to break free from the “useful immigrant” and “model minority” rhetoric. No one should be detained and imprisoned without knowing why, without access to a lawyer, and without the ability to challenge the charges.

I don’t think all of us can agree about people abusing Medicaid. The healthcare system overall is so broken that prices are wild so if a mom takes her child who has a fever to urgent care the bill is stupidly high and Medicaid is billed that stupid price. This is a system problem, not individual.

Gangbanging in media land
The New Republic busts a cap in the New York Times' backside for ho-ing out on Iraq.
By JAKE TAPPER
PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 1, 2003 11:21PM (EST)
"This is whack, yo," said Peter ("P Biddy") Beinart, the much-feared editor of TNR, as he slammed that morning's New York Times down onto his desk.
"Whack."
"True dat," affirmed executive editor "Snoop-Kitty" Orr, kickin' it old school in DuPont Circle, iced skim venti latte in hand. "Collinsio been acting jainky. One day it's all 'Inspectors, U.N., disarmament,' then she busts a C.K. and disarmament is just an option.
Dizaam!"
From the corner boomed the voice of literary editor
L.W. Cool-L, former mix-master of J.W.A., his lovely young bride on his lap, a draft of "Kaddish II: This Time It's Personal" by his side.
