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.

A person sitting in front of a wall of books. The caption reads, "reading can seriously damage your ignorance."

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

What does India May want to accomplish in the Iowa House? May said she first got involved in Iowa politics earlier this year when she attended a town hall held by the state legislators in her area, including Thomson. In part, May said she went to oppose a bill that would deny state funding to libraries that are members of the American Library Association and Iowa Library Association, and another that would remove an exemption in Iowa's obscenity law that shields libraries and educational institutions. Neither bill ultimately passed. "I’m a nurse and a librarian, and I went to my first town hall this year to advocate for libraries and realized that there were a lot more pieces of legislation that were harmful on the Iowa level that I didn’t even hear about until it was too late," she said.

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.

Now she's running for state house.

Man, I warned people about this guy YEARS ago and everybody was like, whatever Spiers, you’re terminally online, internet brain poisoned, this cannot possibly be important

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.

Black neighborhoods brace for aggressive policing with 'know your rights' guides As images circulate of law enforcement officers aggressively grabbing immigrants off the streets, activists are preparing for similar treatment for Black Americans.

Do you have "The Black Book"? In Black neighborhoods in #Boston, people are preparing for aggressive policing with pocket-size "know your rights" guides. bit.ly/43y6jRk

I want black women to leave their beautiful ass noses alone. And if you just MUST get a nose job, please find someone who specializes in ethnic rhinoplasty. Stop letting them white doctors give yall a whoville noses.

Black people cannot cure racism because it is not OUR problem. It is white people’s disease. Period. It’s contagious. Yes. But until yall decide to cure that cancer, we will continue this cyclical dehumanization of others

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

we need a Democratic party for the left

Good morning !

Time to be mildly controversial because it's a personal identity thing:

The majority of us in Canada and the USA are not "middle class", we're living in a post-war rebranding lie. We're working class. Still. But we drive ourselves into debt trying to make it look like we're richer than we are. 1/5

Special 'Sinners' Screening Set for Rural Mississippi Movie Location That Has No Theater The small Mississippi town where the monster hit movie "Sinners" is set doesn't have a movie theater, which sucks for the townsfolk who want to know what all the hubbub is about ... but that's about t...

The mayor of Clarksdale, Mississippi, told TMZ that Warner Bros. is bringing a special screening of “Sinners” to the small town

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

“I’ve been in the industry long enough to know what kinds of deals are possible, and nothing about this deal is a new thing ... I asked for a few things for this project ... for what it was about and what it meant for my family"

Stopping Before the Spiral | urbanbohemian I know the Serenity Prayer but sometimes I get stuck on things that maybe I can change. And when that still doesn't work, I have to force myself to stop.

Treating my brain kindly, stopping before I sink into a spiral, taking a walk and we've got nice weather for the weekend – #PhotosynthesizeMeDaddy, pics of tulips from the walk. 🌷

Okay — lets all collectively agree to never bring this up again and only speak of it in hushed whispers to keep the US from noticing it so we can still earn a living 😭

Today at the protest downtown, white organizers with 50501 called the police on a vendor for selling Black Panther merchandise in their protest even though he only had a small table and stayed out of the public right of way.

Here is the vendor’s statement:

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
