And that's how the very, very special American Peace Prize was born. There has never been anything like this award before. Many people will be talking about it.

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.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

The underlying truth that fascists fear people will discover is that under all the macho posturing, ridiculous "tactical" uniforms, Operator beards, and masks they are just an absurd pathetic bunch of loser man-babies who want desperately to be seen as patriotic tough guys.

β€œFascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧡

If you're democratic candidate for anything and you're not all-in, and I mean all-the-fuck-in for trans rights, go ahead and take a walk over to the republican party where you belong.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say β€œwe’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

This could be β€œthe largest public corruption scandal in the history of the United States"β€”amounting to a $2B bribe from an Emirati royal and the sale of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence chips to the UAE, despite national security concern. trib.al/Ohex7oP

I say this all the time, too. It's tough when they are little, and you are in day-to-day survival mode. Looking back, it was so fun. The kids think you are Batman.

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!"

just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement

it's 95% now

you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

The US constitution does not allow US citizens to be rounded up on the basis of apparent race or ethnicity and require them to carry papers to prove their citizenship. Any supreme court that claims it does is illegitimate.
