luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.
The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.
Feel like as an uncle one of my duties now is to ask my nephews if they’re “one of those red pill kids” in a way that conveys my disdain.
I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe
The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries.

In the aftermath of sobbing at a funeral a few weeks ago I spent a lot of time thinking about the grief debt. Grieving we owe - to ourselves, I guess - from the pandemic that just keeps piling up, interest compounding in the worst ways.

The first time I heard people complaining about what we call DEI now was in the mid 90's. The people complaining? White teenage cishet males. They were complaining that there was no point in them applying to join the RCMP because "they weren't hiring white men" and that "affirmative action",...1/4

I’m also really curious (sarcasm) about who is deeming these guys “vital” and “masculine” - not me or women I know. This whole culture feels like aggrieved men celebrating each other for a kind of masculinity women hate. Which hey if only they could just fawn over each other and leave us alone…
Ryan Coogler discusses his contract for #Sinners
