Apparently the word “allegedly” now also means “according to video footage that we can see with our eyes”

I still don't fully understand why that IDF soldier pulling a statue of Christ off that crucifix and smashing its head in with a hammer is doing more diplomatic harm than the attacks on the Holy Family Church in Gaza did

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

A newspaper headline from over a century ago, reading:

WOMEN ANARCHISTS HAVE BECOME
THE TERROR OF WORLDS POLICE

Their Daring Crimes Are Said to Have Out-
stripped the Deeds of Brothers of the Red

Search for the Woman is Becoming a Safe Rule in Crimes Proceeding From Anarchistic Violence—The Guardians of the World Nearly Always Finda Woman Implicated When a Ruler is Stricken Down—Emotional Women Lose Sense of Fear.

If I hear anyone I know use the word “functional” in any way, shape, or form in 2026, that’s it for me. No more “functional fitness” or “functional wellness” or “functional gummies.” I’m done with it. Let’s leave that stupidity in 2025.

For me, nothing highlights the reality of how poorly PhD students are paid quite like the summer I worked as a waitress at a fancy restaurant to pay my rent and ended up serving a student I had taught and graded a couple of months prior.

i’m always like “omg how could they!?” when i learn about banned books, religious curriculums, etc. and it’s like i somehow blacked out all of my memories of being raised in catholic schools that quite literally removed great books from the curriculum in favor of catholic fantasy (yes, it exists.)

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has: - ordered the release of Hillary’s emails - ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public - restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation - limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case. The resistance, he ain’t.

The Anti-Defamation League, which still calls itself a civil rights organization, endorses disappearing US permanent residents with green cards. The moral stain of this will never wash off.

"We firmly believe there should be swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and institutions with impunity.

We appreciate the Trump Administration's broad, bold set of efforts to counter campus antisemitism — and this action further illustrates that resolve by holding alleged perpetrators responsible for their actions.

Obviously, any deportation action or revocation of a Green Card or visa must be undertaken in alignment with required due process protections. We also hope that this action serves as a deterrent to others who might consider breaking the law on college campuses or anywhere."
