I'm supposed to get married this year but look around. How can I bring a wife into this world

Wisdom from Jesse Jackson’s service yesterday: “You don’t forgive because they deserve mercy. You forgive because you deserve peace. Forgiveness is an emancipation.”

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

James Baldwin

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...

Not everyone can protest. Not everyone can strike. Not everyone can donate. I get the limitations & restraints to certain forms of involvement. But there’s no excuse to do nothing. To remain silent. In this moment, to carry with life as usual. To say and do nothing is a personal failure.

Seeing how children everywhere are being affected by ICE is heartbreaking. You have kids being kidnapped and living in fear of that but also their friends living in fear of who won’t be at school the next day and why. People who support ICE don’t care about traumatizing kids en masse at all

god, I’m an American that lives in a diverse city in Europe and I hateee this discourse. I get the point, especially from Latin Americans, but that is just what we call ourselves, stop telling me I shouldn’t

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

Journalists needing to be seen as "even-handed" no matter what the facts is killing journalism.

So spot on! As a marketer I’ve also thought this before.

Here’s a big secret that a lot of weathered old Dem strategists do not seem to have discovered: if you make promises and actually visibly work your ass off trying to make them happen, voters are not necessarily mad at you when it doesn’t work.

We do need mass movement but I gotta say this. Folks who just got energized need to make space for the resentment of folks who have been shouting this whole time, including the left & Black people. People who are part of this collective who have legitimate bitterness at how they've been treated.

Yes, exactly - I get ovulation cramps so I can tell when it’s happening

I think saying "in America, everyone is innocent until proven guilty" works better for low-info normies than saying "due process" does

Axios is doing some rage baiting here. Look at the two posts⤵️ One has the main story about about Dems wanting to go to El Salvador. Only 11 reposts. The other pushes a tiny part in the story about one naysayer- it's got 238 reposts. Don't fall for it, folks. Read the piece.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Ugh the state of public transport in Berlin is so depressing lately

i want nothing more than for jd vance to become a pariah whose name is a burden on him for the rest of his life.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Screenshot of Times article with headline: "Florida may loosen child labour laws to fill gap left by migrants" The article explains a law has been proposed in Florida to allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts in agriculture & constraction to make up for lost migrant labour. Yes really.

You truly could not make it up.

You could not.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.
