I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps? Trans people.

I think part of the comedy of “We Are Charlie Kirk” is that, to the extent the lyrics can be interpreted the same way as something that had actually been written, they are fundamentally based on the idea that Charlie Kirk cared about something

Book bans have already changed the conversation. Now some leaders are questioning whether libraries themselves deserve public funding. We explored this troubling shift & why defending the freedom to read means defending the libraries that make it possible www.freedomtoreadproject.org/beyond_book_...

Beyond Book Bans: When the Target Becomes the Library Itself

Book challenges are increasingly evolving into challenges against libraries themselves, threatening funding, services, and communities' access to knowledge and opportunity.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police. I will hold your hand as I say this: Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit. Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

Statements like this? Are why minorities don't trust White people politics. Because it communicates that if the switch-up is juuuust right, you'll trade our interests for whatever you think is worth more. After all, "there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."
