Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

“If only people had voted for Hillary!” I say as I pile bodies onto the corpse cart on my daily route. “If only people had voted for Hillary!” the people shout back at me, bringing out their dead. “No tip today, Isaac?” I ask my friend. “Ah, if only people had voted for Hillary!” he shrugs.

New rule: to comment negatively about immigrants, you have to first disclose why your own family members immigrated to the US seeking a better life, and why people facing much worse shouldn’t have the same opportunity. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

every time I see someone complain about unions I think about how unions were the consensus alternative to the previous system of burning the factory owner alive inside his house

Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do they people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.

Related, if trump is summarily deporting citizens under his new mass deportation regime, citizenship and an ability to appeal to the law isn’t going to get people back in the country. The executive runs border security

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

the bill says that Palestinians will get no aid if they try to report war crimes

Let's be clear, when mayors say they want to ban masks for "safety", they couldn't care less about public safety. What the mean is they want to see faces for surveillance purposes. They care about criminalizing your right to protest not your health or safety.

“Climate change” is not a cause. It’s an effect. Burning fossil fuels is the cause. When our media uses “climate change” without mentioning fossil fuels (as this article doesn’t), it becomes a euphemism designed to shield Big Oil & placate its supporters.

Climate change is already making your bills more expensivewww.washingtonpost.com Researchers warn the hazards of climate change will only get worse, for the planet and the economy. Items as varied as groceries and insurance will get more expensive.

Oh my god, this is fucking huge. It was huge when we developed a daily PrEP pill that could prevent you from catching HIV; this is a successful phase III trial of a PrEP shot that will only need to be given *twice a year*. Still needs a confirmatory Phase III, but holy fuck.

there are a lot of ways for the state to suppress dissident speech. one particularly bad one is by having armed agents of the state stand by and do nothing while partisan-aligned thugs or paramilitary groups beat you because of your speech, and then have the DA decline to prosecute the assaulters.

My wife and I are proud parents now, but we also had to terminate a wanted pregnancy in the third trimester due to serious complications, and any politician who would have tried to interfere in that moment can go to hell.

“Among the causes of infant deaths, one increased the most: congenital abnormalities, which increased 22.9% in Texas in children… That trend suggests that at least in some cases, parents were forced to carry a pregnancy to term while knowing their children had little to no chance of survival”

“Since Texas’ ban on abortion went into effect, infant deaths in the state increased by nearly 13%, according to a new analysis published on Monday in JAMA Pediatrics. In the rest of the country, infant mortality increased less than 2% over the same period.”

Every day in Gaza, at least ten children lose one or both of their legs. Ten a day, every day, for 260 days and counting. Any position but anti-genocide and pro-Palestine is inhumane. Is inhuman.

UNRWA reports 10 children lose legs every day in Gazawww.lemonde.fr The aid agency for Palestinian refugees also said on Tuesday that its funding would run out at the end of August.
