Yesterday, Ari Melber asked Zohran Mamdani why he was a socialist, and he answered "because I believe in the dignity of all human beings."

It's time to stop being afraid of being called socialists.

Yes, this is a subtweet of Third Way and Matty you know who.

Still one of the bleakest quotes I have ever read, from one of George W Bush’s senior advisers.

Every day is a good day to not watch cable news, but today is a REALLY good day to not watch cable news.

You should just keep doing things, even if it's dark outside. That's about it.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

BE ADVISED: it’s perfectly legal for cops to lie to you—has been for decades.

This applies to I.C.E. agents as well.

I’m always surprised at the number of everyday people who don’t realize police lie a ton (because they’re trained to).
