The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Surprising because I think this is a film and I wasn’t aware it was a book. It is considered controversial for challenging law enforcement. And allegedly mature language. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter

7 shots fired into an SUV with a 5-year-old child in the back seat as the vehicle was moving away. Markwayne Mullin claims the driver “weaponized” his vehicle. Bullshit! “Weaponized vehicle” has become ICE’s go-to excuse for shooting folks. Where’s the evidence? It’s not in this new footage.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.

Trump has picked Katie Zacharia as his new White House press secretary. A former DHS spokesperson and adviser to Trump’s Truth Social parent company. Because apparently the White House needs another MAGA mouthpiece, not someone who answers questions. Propaganda isn’t transparency. #USDemocracy

Word of the day: Sealioning I have encountered this phenomenon very often, especially with anti-vaxxers. It has a concrete definition. This describes science deniers who appear to be genuinely curious about a topic but won’t accept any evidence that goes against their narrative. 🧪
Sealioning
A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions.
You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comi
L
strip.
