Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.

years of live-streamed genocide, & media refusing to call it a genocide. now footage of starving people in Gaza — horrifying resemblance to Holocaust photos — gunned down trying to get food, yet media *still* refuses to call it genocide. a moral depravity/failure that'll be a museum exhibit one day

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

This relates to my one bit of unsolicited parenting advice: by the time your child is 13, they’ll be passionate about an activity or identity that you don’t understand. What that is, and how you react to it, will determine and define your relationship with your child from that point forward.

I've been calling this an attack for a while for a reason (the reason being that it is)

Literally every time I get moderate attention here for my food aversion cookbook and guide (COLOR TASTE TEXTURE), my usual weekly sales double (minimally).

He will never be President if I and most Chicagoans have anything to do with it. He was a disaster as a mayor and covering up a murder by police was just one of the many fucked up things he did. Do not give this any air time y’all.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"

No one wants what RFK Jr. is pushing. If anything, people want to be more autistic, not less

One of the reasons the liberal establishment abandoned MeToo—and joined + solidified the backlash against it, leading to the refusal to call out egregious sexual violence on the right—is because sexual violence doesn’t discriminate by party. There are abusers anywhere there’s power

Dem leadership spending over a year telling us student anti-genocide protesters were “doing something wrong,” creating the necessary hegemonic pre-conditions for the GOP to deport them.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Every asshole in amerika who hemmed and hawed about the "right" way to protest led us here.

I wrote this almost a decade ago now and it’s difficult to watch it play out in real time and people still to be so clueless

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Calling your members of Congress isn’t only to change their minds.

It’s to show them the amount of opposition to their actions.

Perhaps enough to lose them their jobs.

Even if they’re Republicans—PARTICULARLY if they’re Republicans—call.
