That really felt like a game that Arsenal and Mikel Arteta just could not lose.

A special goal to equalise late on, but the way we dominated Man City with that second half performance, with the players we had on the pitch, will be a source of regret.

We should be braver from the start.

One thing the media's reticence to label Kirk an extremist has made jarringly clear is how scared they are of the people in power now who share his extremist beliefs.

In the space of nine months, they have internalized a fear of condemning racism, misogyny, homophobia and antisemiticism.

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

The only reason this hasn’t also been treated like an alarming constitutional crisis concerning free speech is because people in positions of influence in the media, business, and politics at least tacitly agree with the aims of this movement.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror.

The point is this:

Scientists are accused of being partisan. I say embrace it.

We're not lying for political reasons. We are defending science as a way of knowing, and as a humanitarian endeavor to help even those groups that are disenfranchised by people in power. If that's partisan so be it.

Exploitative capitalism underpins racism, and racism gives foundation to exploitative capitalism. It's an ouroboros. That's why Fred Hampton and his Rainbow Coalition and similar such activities are such a threat. Destroying this link means the cycle cannot self sustain.

Racial minorities must be penalized in order for the white working class to succeed. This has been the mantra since slavery to jim crow. But of course, no matter the penalties to racial minorities, white-working class will never succeed under their system.

The problem is they will keep falling for it until they get a "fair race-neutral" framework that removes any "bias" for racial minorities, i.e., only by disadvantaging racial minorities in admissions will there be fairness.

the reason to defend affirmative action wasn’t because racial preferences were perfect but to defend the principle that institutions ought to account for disparities, disadvantage and discrimination. unfortunately we have a large clique of dipshit pundits who could get fooled by a wallet inspector.

Im begging yall,

Please stop arguing with black people on what should be counted as "African American".

Mamdani himself is not trying to make this argument.

It was a bad look but nobody cares really...

UNTIL YOU TRY TO ARGUE WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS WHAT COUNTS AS AFRICAN AMERICAN!

But for the arbitrary nature of birth and circumstance, any of us could be living in poverty, dependent upon assistance to put food on the table, to take our children to the doctor, and to pull ourselves out of debt. The lack of empathy, the pure callousness on display in this bill, is infuriating.
