White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

What the Public Memory of Charlie Kirk Revealed

Nikole Hannah-Jones, going straight to the point, as ever. Racism is not a policy perspective to be debated. It's hate speech.

I wonder if the Moonies are mad (that someone stole their shtick) or laughing (because they failed to take all the believers' money beforehand).

FDR'S SECOND BILL OF RIGHTS- Every American has the right to...1) a job 2) an adequate wage and decent living 3) freedom from unfair competition and monopolies 4) a decent home 5) medical care 6) economic protection during sickness, accident, old age or unemployment 7) a good education

I wish the Democratic leadership would just adopt this platform instead of writing "strongly worded letters" and other middling theatrics.

I am curious as to the net environmental impact.. That said, I'm killing one or two of those things a day. No one messes up my garden but me. 😋

The Crisis of the University Started Long Before Trump The University of Chicago is in crisis. Under extraordinary financial strain, it has diminished its faculty-student ratio and hired hundreds of “lecturers”: teachers whom it pays little and whom it do...

A great read on UChicago, arguing we’re seeing the result of decades of mismanagement: “The university’s trustees and leaders view it preeminently as a tax-free technology incubator, and its debt load is so great that it is abandoning ideals it once held dear in order to sustain that goal.”

They will be called ICE Youth and when the historical parallels are pointed out they will act like it's insane to draw that comparison

“I get arrested at 26 Federal Plaza. Pretty rough arrest as everyone could see in the video, and they take me back in a hallway, and then they take off their masks. The first guy is a Pakistani Muslim immigrant who lives in Brighton Beach. The first ICE officer, and the second guy is an Indo-Gaianese immigrant who lives in South Ozone Park.

He's been to my mosque a couple of times, and I'm thinking of ranking you guys. And I'm just like, I don't know what to make of this. I mean, there's a whole broader issue. Like these guys were not born brown shirts, but Donald Trump and the times that we're living in are making them brown shirts.”

A remarkable moment from an interview with Brad Lander on the Jewish Currents podcast: two ICE officers who arrested him are immigrant New Yorkers, one of whom was considering voting for him and Mamdani

"I thought you were above this" made me cackle.

A movie about an undocumented immigrant fighting an evil billionaire on behalf of the masses and winning is coming to theaters this week. It will piss off all the right people.

Love it.

I watched the DC 4th celebration on PBS and they ended it with the traditional 1812 Overture with cannons and fireworks...and now all I can think about it V for Vendetta.

Masked Terror At this point, we have all seen the videos.

One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
