hey there, benji.

This is why we say “two wings, same bird.”

Trump wants to evict the homeless in DC AND The Democrats before him pushed to criminalize homelessness.

Trump wants to level Gaza AND Josh Shapiro signed bombs.

The Democrats and Republicans both serve the same donors. The fascism is bipartisan.

18 months ago, we talked about Cop City.

We said there were 69 of them in the US.

We said it was based on IOF occupation of Gaza and that they cross trained with US cops.

And now the National Guard is about to occupy DC.

But it’s the “single issue” people who were the problem, right?

It’s interesting how many men don’t want trans women to compete in sports “for the safety of women” but don’t speak up “for the safety of women” when men hit them.

Cut the crap. You hate trans people and you’re using cis women as a front because you’re too chickenshit to say it with your chest.

Michael Brown was killed by police on August 9, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Let us stand in solidarity with his family and all those impacted by police brutality.

If Riley Gaines hadn’t tied for 5th place with a trans swimmer, she’d still be in 5th place because there were four swimmers faster than her.

This is how competition works. And nobody complained about it until trans athletes wanted to compete.

It’s not about fairness, it’s about exclusion.

Steph Curry is 6’3.

He plays in the NBA where LeBron is 6’9, Kevin Durant is 7’0, and Victor Wembanyama is 7’3.

Is that fair? No. But fairness in sports is a silly idea. There’s always someone faster & stronger.

This is why your debates about fairness in sports is only about hurting trans people.

Do not get on this internet on the 20th anniversary of Katrina and rehabilitate George Bush I swear to god.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades. For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. “CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down operations after loss of federal funding:

Hi.

If you see criticism of eugenics as “hatred of white people”, it is because you are a white supremacist.

Here’s my question, though.

How can a system as dependent on stealing other people’s culture to sustain itself as whiteness is genuinely call itself supreme? You’re not even original.

I want to live in a world where people are uncomfortable with eugenics to the point that they’re not making ads about it.

This happened because it was allowed to happen. This happened because we’re comfortable with it happening.

AE couldn’t pull this off without a culture that approves of it.

Chris Smalls is officially out of custody and on his way home www.instagram.com/p/DMxHb3mAW8...

Jesus Christ, Tori 🤣

Am I saying you need to risk death to be legitimate? Certainly not. But I am saying that the system that created these conditions will not help you dismantle itself.

The system that enslaved our ancestors will not be our redemption. Wake up and zoom out.

Power to Chris Smalls.

Chris Smalls is the exact reason I have no patience for Black creators whose activism began and ended with Kamala & have been silent on Gaza.

This Black man put his body on the line knowing his Blackness meant worse treatment because he understood that our struggles are tied together.

It is impossible to be an expert at deconstruction.

It is impossible to be an expert at being an Exvangelical.

The deconstruction space was always lots of people moving in lots of different directions.

You don’t need another pastor. You are the expert of you. You need to trust your heart.

I just wanna know when all the people who spoke out about Palestine before it was popular are gonna get their jobs and scholarships back.

Either that, or admit that it was all political retaliation on the backs of starved children & we don’t actually care about democracy, but I’d prefer both.

The Tea app is only a problem for men who do things that would get them talked about on the Tea app.

Given how hostile Americans are to spending tax dollars on poor people getting food, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that that same tax money is currently funding mass starvation.

If you’ll allow it here, you’ll allow it anywhere.

And this is what I mean when I say that politics and reality TV in the US are virtually indistinguishable. We laugh, we cry, we argue, and then we speculate while we wait for the next season.

The Epstein Files should end careers, but it will likely only supplant them. And that’s the problem.

Don’t look now, but everybody knows that politicians are corrupt and no one does anything.

Trump’s name is on the list. And there are probably dozens of names from both parties on the list. But we don’t hold politicians accountable. EVER.

So, other than talking, what are we going to do about it?

It’s bad enough that the reason we need both a list and the Wall Street Journal is because we didn’t want to take a woman at her word. But we’re treating this like a bombshell that’ll ruin him when attempting to overthrow the government didn’t stop him from being elected the head of it.

Here’s my question.

Now that it’s on wax in the WSJ that Trump’s name is on the list, what now?

What part of “he incited an insurrection and got away with it” makes us think this will be the thing that takes him down?

Do y’all not understand how they treat rich white men around here?

"Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

This was such a great conversation! Available on our Patreon!

I think there are some well meaning folks in evangelical spaces genuinely wanting to fight injustice.

Where it falls apart is that the justice they want from god was meant to come from them.

God didn’t tell y’all to be the thoughts and prayers. He said “hands and feet.”

Jubilee exists because there is no separation between political discourse and reality tv in America.

Beyond the catharsis of watching Chad from IT getting dunked on for saying white people are Native Americans, we’ve now effectively forfeited focus for clicks. This is why we can’t have nice things.

The thing about Jubilee is that it’s one person arguing with 25 people about non-debatable things. And by making the non-negotiable debatable, it creates scenarios that aren’t rooted in reality.

If winning the argument doesn’t make anyone smarter or safer, why do it?

Hi, whether people “work hard” or not isn’t a reason to deport them.

the last people who should be talking about hard work are billionaires who only became billionaires because of exploitation.

There's been a lot of discourse about whether Black folks have a moral responsibility to advocate for immigrants being disappeared by ICE, especially since we didn't vote for this admin. But, as @benjaminfaye.bsky.social and I discuss, we're in ICE crosshairs too
