Yes, and what do *we* mean when *we* say “we’ve never been so polarized,” anyway?
What if instead we said “It’s been a long time since the reality of injustice has been made so unavoidably present to otherwise comfortable people”?

Okay, I’ve sent this many, many places the last 18 months and have gotten no bites. Would any editor be interested in a feature about how Rugby has a six year window to really capitalize on the chance to have an explosion of interest and success in the U.S. and how that could be done?
Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business.
Trump starts war.
Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI).
Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon.
Their own bank brokers the deal.
The ultimate conflict of interest.
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.
And like all of these right-wing chodes, can neither wear a suit or stand in one spot without looking like a fucking weirdo.
If Italy wins it all Nintendo is contractually obligated to make Mario Baseball
This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.

Iran is attacking our freedom by sending armed, masked thugs into our cities to drag people away to camps and shooting unarmed protesters.
Oh, wait. I’m not sure that’s Iran.
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
US military spent $9M on crab legs and lobster in run up before launching attack on Iran: report
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
“I don’t care if the prices rise—heck, I prefer them that way,” said Kaitlyn Leonardi, who crossed her arms in defiance as she lauded gasoline as “a great product” that had been “too cheap for too long.”

You’d think covering Bluesky with trash would be enough for him.
The public health field has bent over backwards to assuage the ‘concerns’ of anti-vaxxers for almost 3 decades now. It’s not working.
The way forward is stigmatizing these child-killing freaks and mandating that every kid gets a jab. Expand access, sure but that’s not going to move the needle.
Not to mention, old-school liberals Mondale and Dukakis got their asses handed to them. America wanted a center-left president in the 90s! Clinton didn’t decide to be a moderate out of sheer motiveless hatred for the left, but boy do they see it that way.
Sabotage in multiple ways against ALL white supremacists/ fascists/ nazis and their evil leaders and regimes is a long established tactic, used successfully for hundreds of years.
It's fun too!! 😇
Something almost everyone can take part in. Even when news and events make us feel powerless.

By analyzing records obtained by @deportationdata.org, I found that the total number of people who have experienced ICE detention in the first 9 months of the Trump admin amounts to the population of a mid-sized city.
This is one reason why everyone with a bar license should be lining up to do pro bono habeas petitions for detainees right now.
I know so many people who are doing this. A few hours of training and you will save lives and families.
