look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they canโt be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

the post office is a public service. it doesnโt need to make money. public transit doesnโt need to make money. the library doesnโt need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

If you havenโt, there are only three days remaining to submit a comment on the planned rescission of the roadless rule in the National Forests. Losing this means a loss of biodiversity, wilderness areas, and recreation.

Even though I love the Vuelta, I love these protests more. Seeing so many people turn out in Madrid in solidarity with the people of Palestine is beautiful.

People are complaining that the Vuelta isnโt the time or place for protesting Israelโs genocide of Palestinians. But every time is the right time to oppose genocide. Every place is the right place. So much respect for the people of Madrid!

Exactly. The pearl-clutching has felt particularly pointed and obscene. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians dead, Spain announced sanctions again Israel, IPT shouldnโt be there, full stop, but HOW DARE THESE PROTESTERS DISRUPT A BIKE RACE. The horror!

Weโve been cheering every protest, every Palestinian flag, every line of chalk.

Utterly tone deaf comments reeking of white privilege all tour.

A screenshot of the shared article that states that Florida Republican Brian Mask [House of Representatives] is a former soldier of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)โthe very entity bombing and sniping and kidnapping, torturing, and murdering Palestinians in Gaza [all documented, horrifying realities]. The screenshot also links to a previous statement that Mask made that babies are โnot innocent Palestinian civilians.โ Last but not least, the screenshot includes text about how the bill has little reason to exist, save for allowing Marco Rubio unilateral power to strip passports/citizenship of people without them actually having been convicted or even charged of a crime.
This is definitely someone who should be in the House of Representatives, def. someone who should be able to introduce a bill that would essentially qualify anyone voicing their support of Palestinians/their opposition of the Israeli military murdering hundreds of thousands of them as โterrorists.โ

The conversation weโre not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy.
And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

But he thought I did.
This isnโt disagreement. Itโs someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it.
I donโt have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

It's honestly so infuriating to read comments like, "The protesters have a point, but do they have to be so disruptive?"
You either think the cause of protesting genocide is worthwhile or you don't. Like, I'm sorry you wanted Tom Pidcock to win, but there's a bigger fight here.
