“Once my colleague pulled out his camera, the agent put away the gun," Huynh told the Sun-Times Tuesday night. "[But] if they can do this in broad daylight to an elected official, and point a gun at someone, imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.”

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

b-b-b-but i was reliably told this was a gathering of antifa's top terrorists. how could this be?????????

They have no authority - so stupid and irresponsible to simply regurgitate Vought’s illegal unconstitutional plans and not point out the obvious

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Ask Mike Benz and Michael Shellenberger about all the lies they told to help accomplish this. Ask Joe Rogan about how he nodded along mutely while hosting Benz on his show while he spouted bullshit about “CIA fronts”.

“No warrant could authorize entering every single apartment, smashing down every door, and dragging every person out in handcuffs, which is what they did.”

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Ending Black History Month & banning books by Ta-Nehisi Coates is a dark echo of the ways the military has been used in the past to advance racial rights in America.

Frederick Douglass understood Black military service could help achieve citizenship. Truman saw integration as democratic necessity.

Greta Thunberg has been detained in an Israeli cell infested with bedbugs and supplied with insufficient food and water, according to activists: "They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others."

if they do this to a public person, think about what they do to the ones we don't hear about

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘F--- them kids’: ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

Fewer international college students means reduced revenue for schools and therefore higher tuition prices and fewer US-born students

I'm fascinated with this sort of feckless, pseudo-journalism, that has all the rough edges (and essential context) sanded off. It's like a Ken doll with a smooth hump where genitals should be.

*mournfully shooting off a tshirt cannon into the sadly cheering funeral crowd*

It isn’t “grace” to pretend to hand-wring over a man who called for violence, praised gun culture, dehumanized trans folks, and led young people into violent nationalism. It is disingenuousness at best, rank cowardice at worst. And it does harm.

If your words whitewash a fascist, stop speaking.

This is an absolutely deranged thing to say about a proponent of political violence and unfettered gun access who died from getting shot.

Google Scholar Is Doomed Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
