    Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

    Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people.

    That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.

    surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

    It seems we are already losing sight of the fact that a handful of billionaires effectively turned our information ecosystem into a Superfund site, no one knows how to clean up the mess, and simply telling the truth and hoping people find it is woefully insufficient

    seems very bad that the richest person on Earth bought an election, thus installing his own personal fascist puppet, unilaterally conducts foreign policy violating Logan Act, owns a massive engine of fash disinfo, and has access to natsec secrets while regularly violating terms of security clearance

    They fucking disappeared Hamdan Ballal. Sheer impunity, knowing the US isn't going to say shit.

    "As he was being treated in an ambulance, soldiers detained him and a second Palestinian man, the [Center for Jewish Nonviolence] said. It said his whereabouts were now unknown."

    The reason Elie Weisel said "no one is illegal" is because declaring people as "illegal" is an early step to creating a permission structure for mass dehumanization and genocide.

    That's why it matters. We are in the business of words. Accuracy matters in the word business. Intent and context matter

    There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American.

    A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

    "The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 — money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks, the AP wrote in December. Parole numbers have also plummeted in recent years."

    If two presidents colluding on TV to resurrect and profit from kidnapping and slavery in the middle of Passover isn't antisemitic I don't know what is.

    They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism.

    It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism.

    This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

    A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel.

    The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.
