This is SO painfully illustrative of Biden's "this is not who we are" willful blind spot and how people suffer because of it OMFG

between genealogy and forensic accounting you could learn a lot about presidential candidates, their ill-gotten wealth, and what they say in response to how they think about that wealth ijs Idk it just seems real old fashioned to have a whole team of investigative reporters without a couple who possess the skills of the "Finding Your Roots" people

honestly it was a hypothetical but I suppose the very real enslaved man Thomas Jefferson's nephews murdered with an axe and then forced fellow enslaved people to dismember will do ImageImageImage There's a reason that Rick Perry hunting camp was called Niggerhead Ranch, but the public conversation was about a semantic breach of decorum more than a Black person's head and how it came to be separated from their body.

now imagine if people had weddings there and kvelled about the architecture "Please enjoy a signature cocktail under the oak where they strung up Big George and tortured him before eventually murdering and barbecuing him in front of his children."

Don't let the misinformed nattering of a few famously intransigent bigots fool you.

Historically, Black people and American Jews have been ride-or-dies in the fight for human and civil rights. We know from white supremacy.
andscape.com/features/two-n… Langston Hughes knew it. Abel Meeropol knew it. The Black press knew it. The Yiddish press knew it.

There's a difference between "doing research" (ingesting misinformation that merely reinforces your own biases and bigotry) and actual reporting and scholarship.

Alito thinks he's a big genius who swaddled his crackpot ideology in intellectualism and high minded reason when in fact he is more delicate and transparent than cellophane and that's why he got so mad at @AdamSerwer, who always saw completely through his poorly-performed charade He's just a misogynist who uses big words because that's all they think critical thinking is

Does McCardle not understand that there are people who were in even worse straights than her own who also have student loan debt

Never mind the costs in lost productivity that are a byproduct of a mentally ill, malnourished, cash-strapped workforce that can barely afford housing girl wat

I don't know that you can really "reform" a government jobs program that heavily attracts racists and misogynists with few discernible skills, arms them, and gives them qualified immunity.

But what do I know, I'm just a Black woman. Maybe don't trust cops who publicly yuk it up with men who have been credibly accused of rape and assault by multiple women!

If you want to understand how Brad Pitt could abuse his family to the point of causing an emergency landing and not face charges, read up on the case of Jessica Lenahan and the time Antonin Scalia decided "shall" didn't mean "must."
aclu.org/blog/womens-ri… Basically SCOTUS decided that law enforcement, despite being public employees who work for all of us, have no actual obligation to protect victims from their abusers, even when said victim has an order of protection.

So they weren't liable when Jessica's ex murdered their kids

If Nope really is an observation/parable of A-List Hollywood and Brad and Angelina in the wake of Pitt's 2016 abuse and subsequent football-spiking in OUATIH, give Jordan Peele the MacArthur already.

"Texas’ abortion ban has been devastating for people in the state—especially undocumented immigrants in the Rio Grande Valley. Members of the community are confined to their sliver of the region because of Border Patrol checkpoints, so traveling ... is often out of the question." If you're not maligned for carrying an "anchor baby," you're stripped of the ability to decide to have an abortion.

If you miscarry, you're treated like a criminal. Maybe you're sent to a detention center in Georgia and you're sterilized without your knowledge or consent.

The Indiana AG wants to prosecute the doctor who provided legal healthcare to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio. This sort of targeted attention and specious claims are just another way for state AGs to punish people for providing abortions, even in states where it is legal to do so.

He is attempting to use the power of the state to intimidate abortion providers into shutting down.

Some of y'all hate "believe women" so much you don't even believe women journalists.

But that's on y'all.

Bethany did the work. Bethany got the scoop. Believe Bethany. Every day these people make Heidi Schreck look like a prophet.

"The set-up offers them what City Hall cannot: a covert space away from prying eyes of City Council members, reporters and employees who work in the building."

What exactly does the mayor need to hide so badly from public accountability? He is, after all, a public servant. He's gonna be so pissy when someone asks about it, too lol

Apparently a number of feminists are demoralized and giving in to nihilism and let me just tell you, I REFUSE.

Who has time for that shit?

Yeah, shit's bad! Time to roll up our sleeves. Image There are young artists who have every reason to be utterly through with humanity and they are not.

They know there is something on the other side of this hideousness but we have to imagine it and create it.

I don't think this is silly at all.

First off, trans men who get pregnant also get abortions, and their experiences are perfectly valid.

Second, yes, it is in fact last time for cis men to be vocal about the many ways they benefit from abortion. In order to dunk on that tweet, you're assuming that the only thing men could add to this conversation is incompetence or hostility (clinic protestors).

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more from men, and that includes speaking cogently about abortion and repro justice.
