Just remember: the fascists do not have to win. It is not inevitable.

All of the people indulging in these fantasy Democratic primary scenarios think that people vote reflexively because it’s what they themselves do; they don’t realize that turnout is a product of hard work. Unseen, unheralded work. By unseen, unheralded people.

I don’t know why they think pissing off the door-knockers and canvassing power of the party will end well, but these people don’t understand what they refuse to see

T1: get out of here, you silly rodent T2: that's so rude! I'm not a rodent! I'm a chiropteran!

Honestly I feel deflated seeing the response to “depiction of white Christian nationalism ascendant” be cracks about inbreeding, or glee at concentrating these people in rural communities so they can eat their own

It's been fantastic to see Asian inspired fantasy works becoming more popular in Anglophone media, we may need to reconsider how some concepts have been represented. On fairies and China: snowpavilion.co.uk/fairies-in-c... #culture

This will also makes graduate school much, much less accessible—because teaching helps students finance their education—and less effective, because teaching the basics patiently, over and over again, and figuring out the pitfalls, really helps cement your own understanding.

As the daughter of a Black Vietnam vet who suffered life long pain from a service related injury but was constantly turned away from care by the VA I can’t even bring myself to read this. My father eventually died of a treatable condition at 62 b/c he was sent home to take ibuprofen by a VA doc.

A 2017 internal Veterans Affairs report shows Black veterans were more often denied benefits for PTSD than their white counterparts. The analysis crunched claims data from fiscal year 2011 through 2016. And disparate treatment started after WWI when it was still called shell shock. It continues.

Black veterans were denied VA benefits for PTSD more often than whiteswww.nbcnews.com “Ever since I came back from Vietnam, I knew that I had a problem, but I didn’t know what it was," said one Black veteran.

They are already bragging are and how this went to “Rich” people like this isn’t specifically on a Black campus During a time of ( purposeful) Black underemployment . And a general abandonment of support for Black issues that the Manhattan Institute has already said was the plan

lol it’s going to be so stupid in ten years when exclusive schools for rich people brag that they use real human teachers

Someone on Instagram said Michaels' Halloween was for the lesbians this year and they were NOT WRONG

It's not my socks making me look 40 years old. It's my gray beard, my bad eyesight, and t-shirt tucked into my cargo shorts.

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

and then somehow for whatever surely unrelated reason she was absolutely pilloried in a million different articles for being mean to poor dear sweet innocent Sarah Huckabee Sanders and forced to apologize even though nothing she said about her was untrue or even THAT harsh

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

Rwanda took 240 million pounds from the Uk and that ghoul Braverman to take refugees and at the end got the money and will take no refugees. Well played, Rwanda, and also a wonderful example of how conservatives manage money while fucking citizens over with "austerity" and "spending cuts"

You will never convince me that a person who punched someone in the face once is much, much more morally culpable than someone who cheats and steals for profit.

one of the most dishonest things people in my profession do is pretend as if “the story” and “the narrative” isn’t something they have direct control over

Could we GoFundMe journalism? I mean, it's good enough for cancer

What are our chances of ever having a real, effective news media again? How do we make that happen?

We’ve been getting a great tutorial on why so many people distrust the mainstream media since the debate. Reminds me of William Randolph Hearst promoting the Spanish-American War to sell more papers; these folks liked the Trump years because it made getting clicks easier.
