The idea that these two traumatized peoples, one of which spent two full years grinding through the other as if with a meat grinder, have any kind of normal to ~return to~ is psychotic. The idea that *more* oppression & dehumanization of the Palestinians is what will bring actual peace is doubly so.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I think whatโ€™s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the โ€œthis isnโ€™t who we areโ€ and โ€œI didnโ€™t have this on my bingo cardโ€ has to end and yโ€™all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

The artist you love just wrote an entire song dedicated to tearing down Black women simply because her fiance was attracted to them but ok.

And critiquing someone's *art* is not tearing down a person.

Be nice if any single national Democrat promised to hold these fuckwads accountable for malicious prosecution should the wheel ever turn around.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.

Everybody who pushed Democrats to be more aggressive after the insurrection was right. Listen to them next time (if there is a next time).

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators

Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, andโ€”I would hopeโ€”still see that itโ€™s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

It's absolutely off the wall that they let these far right influencers into the press pool to push these absolutely unconstitutional and authoritarian ideas posing as questions. This is what they do nearly every press conference with Trump now.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The notion that Bari will be "running CBS News" is slightly misleading. What the reporting suggests is that Tom Cibrowski, a guy with normal qualifications, will be doing that. Bari will be Emperor Ellison's Vader-esque enforcer, outside the chain of command, intervening at will.
