Crash Course: Lets Learn About Abuse Sometimes Fiction can help us come to terms with reality.

Since it seems so many people don’t understand how abuse works. I decided to explain it using my favorite anime. I hope you guys will give my latest essay a read. www.letsnotbtrash.com/p/crash-cour...

In the American South, I Saw Echoes of My Palestinian Homeland The specific injustices in the South, Palestine, and the Bible may be different, but they share one common theme: the powerful always seek to erase the victims.

"As I reflected on these connections throughout the trip, I kept returning to the biblical character Rizpah."

Thank you!

You are lying 😭😭😭

Supreme Court asks: Can FBI be held liable for raiding the wrong house? FBI agents handcuffed Hilliard Toi Cliatt and pointed a gun at him and Curtrina Martin while her young son cowered in a bedroom. It was the wrong house.

FBI agents handcuffed Hilliard Toi Cliatt and pointed a gun at him and Curtrina Martin while her son cowered in a bedroom. It was the wrong house.

The Supreme Court will consider whether those impacted by such wrong-house raids can hold law enforcement officials accountable for their mistakes.

Hear me out….

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

DOGE wanted to assign staff to the nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice because it got federal funds The nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice says staff from Elon Musk’s DOGE contacted them to “assign” a team to the organization and said DOGE staff told them they intended to “assign” teams to all nonp...

As I say in this article, the request from DOGE to Vera Institute of Justice is a blatant abuse of power that should alarm all Americans. Very glad that Vera pushed back and spoke out. We stand with them. apnews.com/article/doge...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Meta’s Antitrust Trial Begins as FTC Argues Company Built Social Media Monopoly The tech giant went to court on Monday in an antitrust trial focused on its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp. The case could reshape its business.

The FTC on Monday accused Meta of creating a monopoly that bought start-ups that stood in its way, kicking off a landmark antitrust trial that could dismantle a social media empire that has transformed how the world connects.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world.

A better world is possible.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

"Indeed, the rightwing critique of empathy is not an attempt to find a better way to achieve altruistic ends; it’s an excuse to turn away from altruism entirely. We are witnessing the construction of the ideological architecture to excuse violence and suffering on a mass scale."

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

I realize the Left is used to challenging the GOP because they are so shitty to poor people on economic policy but folks need to understand that the "economically conservative" GOP does not run the GOP anymore and we are dealing with a Christian Nationalist GOP

resilience of the travestis also provides a study of a history which disrupts the colonial gender binary, which has become even more relevant as transgender identity has entered into international political debate. Originating from the verb transvestir (to cross-dress), travesti refers to a person who is born male, is attracted to males, and intentionally alters their appearance to be more feminine — including injecting silicone to create curves and, in some cases, taking feminizing hormones — but who does not identify as a woman, instead travesti. In the words of one travesti, Carlinhos, “I’m not removing anything [God] gave me. I’m just improving things. He gave me a chest — I made it bigger. He gave me a bunda — I made it bigger. He gave me thighs — I made them bigger. I’m making what He gave me in life more beautiful

Historically, travestis have faced significant backlash for their identity. Following the 1964 coup d’etat, the military dictatorship enacted brutal repression against travestis, who were primarily employed as sex workers. Though prostitution itself was not illegal, police would detain and arrest travestis under the crime of vagrancy. This process reached its peak in 1981 during Operation Rondão, when 1500 travestis were arrested in the course of a single week and called “lixo humano,” lit. “human trash” (Hutta et Balzer, 76). This antagonistic relationship with the civil and military police, set up by the dictatorship, would continue even after the fall of the dictatorship in 1985.
