Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.
I’m just sayin’.

So holy shit, that US bill passing is pretty bad for basically everyone, huh?
Especially fond of this:
“The War on Science”
Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.
YALL, THE TITLE!!

Rock bottom in the US.
People who got Ds in high school have been given the reins, lined up to look at a graph and go, “Hey, why is this side lower than that side? Look everyone, we fixed it!”

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy.
Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work.

Nobody in America has been more coddled than these incessantly whiny conservatives but they couldn’t use slurs on social media so they think they’re Anne Frank.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

Screencap of NYT headline reading "Alice Weidel, Germany's far-right leader, lives in Switzerland and is raising two sons with her Sri Lankan-born wife. Her party, the Alternative for Germany, campaigns on a platform that is anti-immigrant and defines family as a father and a mother raising children." Followed by a picture of a smiling blond woman in a suit with a German flag
Are you all okay over there

It’s like the 2nd grade playground out there now.

There are literally not enough journalists employed in the US to cover the bad shit that is happening right now. We are now going to experience the social consequences of a weakened news industry--which are the same as the benefits of a weakened news industry, to those who weakened it.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.
I ain’t much of a salesman, but $1 for 3 months of #mubi has gotta be the best way to spend that much money today.
If you’ve been meaning to watch The Substance, you would have to spend 7x that much to rent it, and you get access to an amazing library instead.

I assume every Democratic member of Congress knows that not one word uttered by Kash Patel—under oath or otherwise—can be believed.
It's difficult for me to articulate how untrustworthy and dangerous the man is.
If America collapses in the next year, him being the FBI director would be one reason.
