it turns out it's hard to write when you're in a state of emotional paralysis

F.D.A. Attributes 10 Children’s Deaths to Covid Vaccines

The NYT definitely made a choice not to add “without evidence” to this headline.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Good day

I don't think you realize how disrespectful and patronizing it is for someone to boldly date the things you are staying about the civil rights movement. Especially with such thin knowledge of the topic.

I think you are discounting the time it took to get a case to the Supreme Court. I suggest you read up a bit more on the civil rights movement because your dates vastly underestimate the breadth of work that encompasses the civil rights movement.

I just think you should wait until victory to declare victory. Also, do you think the civil rights movement was 5-10 years?

Y’all won’t use plastic straws but you’re using GROK to plan your workouts??????????? Go dive off a street curb into a pool of trash bag juice.

This is like when Drake claimed he was better than Kendrick because he's had more cumulative Spotify streams.

Showing up...to what?

Are people under the impression that the Civil Rights Movement was some single day protest where we can count the numbers and compare?

The Civil Rights Movement had objectives. What are the objectives of the No Kings movement? Who are its leaders?

Activisim with no discernable results cannot be "historically notable"

made the quoted thread, a response to a few of @jamellebouie.net’s recent posts, into a video, because sometimes it’s nice to see people’s faces, hear people’s voices, on an ever colder internet. this is part one.

Capital punishment: What it means that Trump reinstated the death penalty in D.C. D.C. did away with the death penalty 44 years ago, but the president is bringing it back.

Trump once again takes advantage of D.C.’s unique vulnerability to federal interference and reinstated the death penalty last week. It hasn't been used here in 68 years.

what most people want at this moment is a fix for fascism that keeps the tone and power imbalances in tact and that's not gonna work

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ta-Nehisi Coates not saying anything

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

‘Targeted assassination’: Israel’s killing of Al Jazeera staff condemned Israel’s killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza prompts global outrage and calls for accountability.

Israel’s killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza prompts global outrage and calls for accountability.

Video shows the aftermath of the Israeli strike on a tent for media workers that assassinated five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza City.

. @npr.org every single Al Jazeera reporter was killed in Gaza City and it's not worth a mention in your Israel reporting on Up First this morning?! You just mention one reporter and "several colleagues" but the weight of what happened is glossed over then you go to an Israeli mother's feelings?!

we can do this

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

i have been listening to the new clipse nonstop. album of the year imo
