Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

For real, though, this is a main reason streaming services must remain ad free.

Yeah, because malls, of which two of three big ones near me have closed and been demolished in recent years, are in any position to be restrictive about their customers. 🙄

I've said it before and I say it again. If your queer youth "advocacy" ends where "parents have the right to do as they wish" begins, your advocacy is shit.

This is so fucking true. I NEVER thought I'd see people in my lifetime of all stripes wearing keffiyehs in public and risking their careers for Palestinian liberation. I couldn't imagine this. Ever. It's moving, it's beautiful, it's unbelievable. And yet it's real.

“Abolish ICE” was immediately met with eye rolling condescension and after events proved that policy correct, and support *among Democrats* for it exploded to like 80%, it didn’t move party leaders at all. How is this tenable

Your periodic reminder that the Orange Thing has not renamed the Gulf of Mexico or Lake Ontario. He's simply calling them something else and too many ass-kissers are playing along in order to manipulate him. Get it right. It matters.

The right-wing grudge against the Smithsonian is much older and weirder than most people realize. Before anybody scoffs and dismisses the severity of Christian belief in ancient giants in America, it is an attempt to erase Native Americans. This is a pervasive belief. newrepublic.com/article/1992...

The Super-Weird Origins of the Right’s Hatred of the Smithsonian
The Trump administration has stepped up its antagonism of America’s treasured museums. But conservative antipathy toward the institution began long ago—with the bones of Bible giants.

Ohhhh, *that's* why there's such deep distrust in public health. Because of the people who are pointing out correctly that a decline in vaccination rates is causing more disease. Not because people like you are systematically undermining public health.

"Yes, D.C. has to do a better job with public safety," Dr. Kevin Beckford writes in an opinion piece for The 51st. "But this curfew does nothing to make neighborhoods like Navy Yard any safer."

Opinion: D.C.'s Black teens deserve better than curfews
Policing in Navy Yard is already out of control, and criminalization is likely to only make things worse.

part of the reason the right doesn't want to forgive student loans is because high college costs are a big way to control young people. parents can withhold money; later people can't take jobs they might like because they have to pay back debt. 1

at our private school there was a set of parents who were underfeeding their kids to the point they had signs of anorexia. the authorities were not going to take them away from their rich parents. we just packed extra food for them and overstocked on snacks for sleepovers.

This is one of the biggest reasons I’m opposed to means testing for things like free school meals. I grew up in a community with a lot of kids from wildly wealthy families who were abused & neglected by their parents. Kids of wealthy parents need to be protected, too

Hilton got way less public sympathy than, say, Britney Spears because she was a teenager went sent to what those of us in youth rights call "gulag school"--it's a cultural touchstone to say teenagers deserve it. Her parents supposedly "didn't know" but well, they should have

It's often presented as a joke but "I'm not rich, my parents are" is just the reality, and rich parents have an absurd amount of control over their children, sometimes into young adulthood

attacks on privileged young people are often presented as based in material realities, but they generally ignore actual material conditions and just traffic in reactionary moral panics to defend traditional patriarchal hierarchies.

fwiw, one reason young people are more attracted to egalitarian philosophies is that no young person is actually rich. children don't own any property in their own name. this is not just a tecnicality; it's a material reality that has realy material consequences. 1
