The first Muslims here were not a part of the “American experiment.” They were enslaved people whose religion was a central way they practiced kinship, language, and resistance to chattel slavery.
A part of Akinola Davies Jr's speech the BBC decided not to air
They want to disappear Trans people. We cannot let this happen.
I’ve watched this at least 6 times since last night. I really don’t think Rose would’ve won without this defense. #Unrivaled 💁🏾♀️🌹🙅🏾♀️
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
"Return CBP to the border"
Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?
Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
it’s so disheartening to see terf shoes is capable of speaking clearly when she believes it
like do people enjoy watching two queer/bi/gay men navigate homophobia because it feels sexy and salacious? hm
heated rivalry has such an intense aura of homophobia
Old tweet that says when I was young I thought things wre bad because solutions were complicated and now I'm old and realize things are bad because solutions are simple but will inconvenience affluent people (or those who aspire to be) and religious fanatics.
I didn't save this tweet but somebody did and it feels worth resurfacing

People were able to force this change not by voting with their wallet but by being really annoying. Being annoying actually works.

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"
"What must be made manifest, confronted, spoken in these catastrophic times includes the rejection of that which is manufactured as consent and the offering in its place of another set of understandings and imaginings of the given world and the made world."

I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport

Time and time again the media reports from the owners point-of-view in the WNBA labor negotiations. Time and time again journalists offer no evidence supporting NBA claims.
If something is not supported by evidence, it is simply an assertion. It is not a fact.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

While its easy to get swept up in personality, this is a group focused on peoples real needs. LETS KEEP THE FOCUS.
In the years to come, the Tulsa massacre was not widely taught in American history classes. In Tulsa itself, memory was suppressed. Police records vanished, newspaper archives were tampered with, and victims were buried in unmarked graves. Some residents reached adulthood unaware that the massacre had happened. But its 100th anniversary, in 2021, brought it renewed attention, coming a year after the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by a white Minneapolis police officer, had sparked nationwide protests.
After one of the worst acts of racial terror in our history, *we erased it.*
We didn't teach it.
We didn't take anyone to trial.
Police records disappeared.
So did newspaper archives.
The silence continued until 2020, when people, you could say, woke up.
