I've always been captivated by the "Freedom" sculpture on Vine St., of a figure breaking free of a wall in 4 stages, with the final figure on the sidewalk, arms outstretched and faced lifted. I think it makes our city more interesting, which is the most any of us who love Philly can hope to do. 🧵1/3

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
thehandbasket.co
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

This is where I am on trans rights, women’s rights, immigrants rights and of course black rights. You don’t bend. Not an inch. Anywhere.
Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — “No, you move.”

Art by Confounded Fowl, from Reddit

This comic by Confounded Fowl pokes fun at the massive scale of the Marvel cosmic entity Galactus by showing him straddling the globe. While the Fantastic Four confront him in New York, his legs casually land on a beach in Perth, Australia, where a local sunbather greets him with an unbothered "Ayo bro."

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

My print piece on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is up. I point out that the rest of the country is still desperately trying to get the same rights the white man gave himself 250 years ago. In @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Will America Ever Give White-Man Rights To Everyone Else?
If we want to make it another 250 years, the Constitution is going to have to do a lot more than protect individual political and civil rights.

A depressed meteor with a 5 o'clock shadow sits at a bar. It says "I'm so fucked up. I can't live with myself knowing the death that I've caused." A person in a trenchcoat, scarf and fedora walks in and asks "are you the meteor that killed the dinosaurs?" The meteor replies "maybe... who are you?" The mysterious figure reveals itself to be a Triceratops, who hold a gun up to the meteor's head. It says "you should have finished the job, Mr. Meteor." The meteor grabs the barrel of the gun and jams it to its forehead. A single tear rolling down it's cheek, it shouts "DO IT!!! DO IT!!!"
