I am very ashamed to live in a country where people will wake up with the terror that the secret police are coming to kidnap them, separate them from their families, and brutalize or even kill them because they are not white.

It's weird that people chose apples and oranges as incommensurate objects and not basically anything else. Apples and lizards, oranges and flatworms, geese and horses, pretty much anything else would make more sense Dicks and neutron stars, goats and photons, rats and the abstract concept of time

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Megan Rapinoe is a legend.
A black graphic with white text featuring a quote by Megan Rapinoe. The quote reads:

“At first it was like, Nobody likes women’s sports! and Nobody wants to watch it!

Or there was abuse happening, and nobody seemed to care.

Now, all of a sudden, we’re going to use a vulnerable group of people in the trans community to be like, Oh, we’re protecting women’s sports and we care so much about it?”

The quote is attributed at the bottom to Megan Rapinoe on The View, with the them logo in the top-right corner.

The defining feature of American political discourse is that when liberals are out of step with public opinion it is understood as a failure of liberalism; when conservatives diverge from public opinion it is interpreted as an indictment of society.

This shit with Taylor Farms is exactly what I’m talking about when I say you may say you “don’t do politics,“ but politics are more than happy to do you. The microbes political bribes got out the door and into your intestines don’t particularly care that you find it all beneath you.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

The White House intervened to get a $620 million deal for a company tied to Don Jr. The request was made by top aide Peter Navarro. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was considering funding at the time, the Don Jr.-linked company was the only deal initiated by a top aide to Trump.

Birth rate discourse is like “It turns out if you give women more choices, they’re less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.” Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake

listen, the only thing I have to say about the Odyssey is that these fucking asshole right-wing chuds don't fucking own history or literature. their racism and bigotry should be met with scorn and shame. read, instead, as James Baldwin (from an interview in 1963):
Baldwin: ""You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was Dostoevsky and Dickens who taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who ever had been alive. Only if we face these open wounds in ourselves can we understand them in other people."

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.
