Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

I use sandwiches as food tokens 🥪

Well don't I feel stupid

Democrats need to be explicit that it’s a totally clean bill that will be voted on or none at all. The shutdown is HIS mess. Sure he will blame them, but he will anyway. The fact is the GOP alone is responsible for this mess if a shutdown happens and Democrats can and must relentlessly message that.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

I've looked into it a bit more and the best of my understanding is that she may have said some problematic things in the past, doesn't necessarily feel that way now, but also hasn't properly addressed it? And some people have claimed it's fake chat logs despite no evidence they're fake either? : /

Actually, yeah. I'm not saying we have to give it to him, but many in his position would just start right-wing grifting

Cruising crackdown in Penn Station bathroom puts at least 20 men in ICE custody State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

Every queer press org should be picking up this story

The Biggs one is the worst. Calling us un-American

Didn't VivziePop get accused of transphobia? I've avoided the series because if that. I didn't know anything about the KoG cast though, so thanks for bringing it up. I wanna learn more about them now

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

Yeah. But it is extraordinary that that is the right thing to say on this

Hey There Delilah

I would strongly argue that you will understand what the New York Times has become much better if you understand that they soft launched the new NYT with their trans coverage, and have been building and expanding from there.

there is a point here i want to amplify. the free speech defenders of the mainstream seem to have no awareness that actual free speech is often more fractious and destabilizing than civil and respectful. a society where speech is genuinely free isn’t the deferential space they want it to be.

Wow, yeah, you're right. I've even described my mother as "You know how in movies..." with the message being that she's that type of person, but unlikely to actually change. That's definitely more real.

Would you be willing to seek one against him?

Obama gave them an out and still they do this. FFS

Thank you. Someone had to say it

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

Headline from the New York Times, 1939: “Goebbels ends careers of five “Aryan“ actors who made witticisms about the Nazi regime.”

This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point.

However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

That's great and he deserves his retirement, I guess, but man I wish he'd get the Dem Party back in line. Even he'd be better than the shitshow it's in now.

The Supreme Court’s Ban on Affirmative Action Is Already Having Its Intended Effect Black enrollment at elite schools keeps dropping, but conservative activists still aren’t satisfied with the results of their work.

stumbled across an article showing that this year's freshman class at my alma mater is 5% Black, which hasn't been the case since 1968

it prompted me to take another look at the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision, & how it's already working as intended

Undocumented father killed by ICE agent in Franklin Park shooting had no criminal background, lawyer says The undocumented father shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park, Illinois, only had a history of minor traffic violations, not a criminal record, according to his attorney.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Getting rid of memorials to the Confederacy is erasing history and must be reversed by rememorializing the Confederacy, getting rid of references to what they fought for addressing “corrosive ideology”
