By educating people on why it's hateful and speaking truth.

Kinda like a guy named Jesus? Who would have generally been against hate speech and lies, right?

Why is this an argument where we have to pick sides?

I just hope that since LAPD has been honest about how peaceful things have been, that if needed they will protect those peaceful protesters. C'mon guys....show us good cops exist. This is probably your last chance.

New York City is bearing the burdens of a Mayor who lied and broke the law to take office, and then let his administration implode. It makes no sense that we have had to wait round for a Governor from Buffalo to make a decision about our city. β€” Sen. Jabari Brisport

Other City Councils all over the US can directly remove a mayor when egregious situations come up β€” they don’t have to wait on a governor. Am. Harvey Epstein & I just introduced a state bill to give our City Council that power too.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine.

Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

β€˜This moment is medieval’: Jackson Katz on misogyny, the manosphere – and why men must oppose Trumpism The result of the US election unleashed a ferocious feminist backlash, he says, and makes his 40-year struggle to end violence against women more urgent than ever

β€œWe’re witnessing a global backlash against women’s progress […]. Trumpism and rightwing populism isn’t a revolt against the β€˜elites’; it’s a reaction to men being de-centred and a backlash against feminism.”

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Hm. I wonder how much money would be raised if we taxed every billion at 1%.

$44.800.000.000 is how much.
