AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

the predicted searches sound like an octopus vacillating between harmless fun and murder

A "vote on healthcare later" is D.C. slang for "never, but thanks for playing."

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

To everyone in Portland and Chicago, thank you.

For fighting back.

For showing up for your immigrant communities.

Please stay safe tonight.

Abolish ICE.

The image is a side-by-side comparison titled “pop psychology” versus “actual psychology.” Left side (pop psychology): • “Gaslighting is when someone lies to you or tries to convince you that you’re wrong.” • “Being triggered means that something makes you uncomfortable or annoyed.” • “People who are rude, mean, or self-centered are narcissists.” • “Anything that hurts you is trauma.” Right side (actual psychology): • “Gaslighting is an elaborate strategy where you are manipulated to question your reality, memory, or sanity – not just a disagreement over what happened.” • “A trigger is something that causes a sudden increase in symptoms – like flashbacks in PTSD or compulsions in OCD. A ‘trigger’ is not just a source of general discomfort.” • “Everyone has some narcissistic traits, and many people are unpleasant or absive without being narcissists. Narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical diagnosis, and it doesn’t always lead to absive behavior.” • “Anything that overwhelms your ability to cope can be traumatic. Trauma has long-lasting impacts and it goes beyond ordinary adversity. Something being hurtful isn’t automatically trauma.” The Instagram handle @igototherapy is written vertically between the two columns.

Pop psychology: Bipolar is mood swings.

Actual psychology: Bipolar involves manic and depressive episodes that are intense and disruptive, sometimes requiring hospitalization, far beyond ordinary shifts in mood.

Acetaminophen does not cause autism.

God, I sure hope the Rapture is tomorrow and that everyone who believes in it goes.

The rest of us will experience Heaven on Earth.

“Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.”
—Hannah Arendt

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not.

This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

Today is Celebrate Bisexuality Day.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

The evil that men do lives after them

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?

One way to avoid people making fun of your death is to not make a career of gleefully proclaiming other people’s deaths are necessary for your enjoyment of life

That gun violence truly is an epidemic in America couldn't have been clearer than when media coverage of Kirk's assassination was interrupted by yet another school shooting, this one in Evergreen, Colorado. The Denver TV station KDVR offered a heartbreaking interview with a student who said he was new to the region. "I only moved here a few months ago, and I didn't think this would happen so soon." Those two words - so soon - speak volumes. School kids fully expect the life-changing trauma; they're only hoping it might take a while to come to them. Because, as noted, it comes to everyone.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.
