It feels pretty significant to me that 18% of all US adults think that being white is very/somewhat important to making someone an American.

The target number here should be 0%. None bigots.

Republicans are intimidated by Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood so much that they had to defund PBS and completely close its doors forever.

They’re afraid of all kinds of muppets and puppets… birds, frogs, tigers, trumps, pigs, and snuffleupagus’.

Opinion | José Andrés: People of Good Conscience Must Stop the Starvation in Gaza

Been thinking a lot about how there is no outlet for “people of good conscience” to exert their demands for this horror to stop, only deepening the global crisis of democracy, on top of the unbearable horror in Gaza www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/o...

Chris was part of the cohort that organized the first union for Amazon workers on Staten Island; it’s time to lift up his voice.

No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

“Israel has long restricted or completely blocked aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population.”

And thats not true says Israeli military. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/w...

Every editor in chief who buried the truth about Palestine, every manager who silenced an honest voice, everyone who stood in the face of protesters and said not like this,every university administration that chose repression
over listening you are not neutral.

“But Superman, stopping that country from invading another was politically fraught”

“THEY WERE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!”

James Gunn made a movie that says this: people worrying about politics are not the heroes. The people trying to stop mass murder are the heroes.

That’s that on that

this is one of my ultimate “could never get away with this today” movies

genuinely an impeccable way to teach kids that poverty is an artificial social construct and the cops use violence to enforce it

also Friar Tuck is one of cinema’s greatest Catholics I am serious

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." ❤️🔥

The point of LLMs is to make rich guys feel like they are also smart guys

The ✌️mandates✌️ they are worried about be like “spend the money to help all residents”, “allow public access to program funds without discrimination”, and “require bids from minority owned businesses and no cronyism”. 😂😂😂

It's true that Texas is actively - joyfully, even - enacting laws that endanger the lives of vulnerable kids. Trans kids, migrant kids, pretty much all of the above.

It's also true that no kids, anywhere -ever- deserve physical or psychological mistreatment, injury, or death

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.

Ronald Reagan: “Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸🇺🇸

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

If you started paying attention to the US in 1960, this sure feels like the darkest timeline. But unfortunately, purges against Black & brown people are normal US behavior.

You know what's NOT normal US behavior?

This is the first time there's been a mass movement to STOP a purge in real time.

It’s July 4, so I’m working on a sunburn and beer buzz and despite *everything,* still feeling patriotic. Especially after reading this.
