β€œHelp us continue to inflict suffering on the American people - if you don’t, we will inflict different suffering upon the American people” isn’t the good argument he thinks it is

Gender neutral means male. Women can wear male clothes or assume certain male roles in society because patriarchy ensures that male coded things are acceptable. It’s when men take on female roles or wear women’s clothing that society freaks out, because female is inferior.

If they’re erasing the images and stories of enslaved people, then they better be erasing the wealth and infrastructure those same people built and created. And the β€œsuccesses” and prestige of those who were slave holders.

Incredibly thoughtful, powerful and salient thread and exactly where our heads should be at right now. Thank you @gregggonsalves.bsky.social

Absolutely. Two things can be true at the same time. It’s complicated and we want it to be simple.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

At least 2 students shot at a Denver-area high school, authorities say | CNN At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot.

Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence β€” no matter who is hurt β€” will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Over the weekend, the β€œsandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance.

A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.

Friends, there are plenty of things RFK Jr. says and does that are worthy of contempt.

I am not on board with the β€œaddict”, β€œjunkie”, β€œheroin freak” narrative.

There are plenty of people in recovery who never go on to be sociopathic frauds, and they are worthy of our love and support.

Why can’t the next reporter say something like β€œso you are in denial of the fact that Ohioans will not have insurance? Is that because you don’t care?” We need pushback on these blatant lies!

What even are these statements? Like no β€œstudies show..” or β€œobservational studies of pregnant women indicate..” just her opinion as fact?

She can FEEL that way. Doesn’t change the evidence that SSRI’s HELP pregnant and perinatal women who need it. It’s like when someone doEsN’t bELIevE in SSRI’s. Ok but they still exist..

You cannot even look at baby items without risk. This is the least of our worries but will guests for a baby shower be subject to menstruation investigations?

Ok but how is it that they are continuing to succeed on so many fronts? i am baffled by the incompetence coupled with forward movement of their goals.

He does not care. He came to my university several years ago and I heard him speak and was so disturbed by his cavalier attitude toward current suffering. He thinks he’s noble for being future thinking but really he’s out of touch and cruel.

Cuomo: I am now running on affordability.

Our explanatory models for death are predominated by scientific facts. They ignore the social, economic, political causes of death. Cause of death tends not to say, for example, BBB, but maybe it ought to if that more accurately reflects the world we live in. We need more social epidemiology.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
