Antonio Mays Jr. was capturing on video, speaking about police reform to a crowd of protesters, just three days before he was shot and killed at CHOP in 2020.

not labor day but came across these words today!
Congress has cut federal funding for public media, putting your access to local news and programming at risk. This is the moment to join our community of supporters. You’ve depended on KUOW and NPR across the decades. Today, we’re counting on you. bit.ly/3UgOIc9

one thing the Dem establishment doesn’t understand is that Rogan is *downstream* of the right-wing misinformation machine. he doesn’t originate reactionary conspiracies, he absorbs them, and that’s why he turned toward Trump

The shifting cultural understanding of the Menendez brothers, who were mocked at the time for saying their father abused them, is an interesting synecdoche for the larger threat that treating children as though they have emotional lives and agency presents to the project of the American right.
Some personal news: I finished The Power Broker.
Congestion pricing was designed to finance more than $15 billion in critical transit upgrades in New York City. Those investments will take years. But the parallel changes at street level are already apparent. Here’s what we know so far. nyti.ms/4mbuGg0
It will surprise few people that this claim is untrue.

based on some reading i'm doing at the moment, there is a book to be written — if it already hasn't been — on defense of apartheid south africa as the great international cause of the american right
