Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.

they were *lying* when they were "worried" about Asian-American college applicants, and they are *lying* now when they're "worried" about "strivers." They do not want non-white people being in any way superior (or evident) to white people. that's it. that's the whole thing.

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

If you are of a certain age, this song’s ubiquity became annoying cliche. It’s a joke in Wayne’s World FFS. But this cover? Ann Wilson makes two old men literally weep tears of joy. Ann OWNS this song, now. music.youtube.com/watch?v=ovuh...

The original Prince version of this song is the worst of all the versions. Everyone who has covered it has made it “better”. Which is a remarkable, unbelievable thing? Written by one of the greats and made greater with each successive cover.

“You can’t get on a soap box with ____. You’ve got to ridicule him.” This clip is 45 y/o, is based on events more than 200 y/o, & could have been unironically re-enacted yesterday. This GIF has truncated the sexual assault but it is visible in the background As intended by the filmmaker

“I’m big on how people address certain people,” Conley said. “Not everybody can be addressed the same way, just the way they emotionally are set up. So, just trying to balance that; being able to step in and say what I need to say, when I need to say it.” Mike Conley’s Leadership 101 seminar.

A year ago, @propublica.org told you immigration agents had detained more than 170 U.S. citizens. We’ve updated our count, and we’ve got all the receipts. The tally: At least 506 citizens detained. Sometimes held at gunpoint, handcuffed, or even deported. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

The US government's statements about the Iran War starting with saying they had defeated Iran a dozen of times to then saying hey if they nuke American cities that is actually okay is the kind of shit that only speaks to a base that has willingly locked themselves in a room with a charcoal grill.

Future historians will correctly identify Merrick Garland’s feckless, cowardly dithering as the primary reason THIS happened. Do. Your. Job. History will not be kind to this man.
