Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

White people need to do better. Not sure about objective vs subjective fear?

To quote Missy Cooper (Young Sheldon)

"It's ok to be scared

We just have to do it anyway."

He *may* have immunity as Acting President of the US, but does he have immunity as Acting President of Venezuela? Tune in next week when the Supreme Ayatollahs issue a ruling.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

its not just that reactionaries dont read the western canon they valorize, its also that they *cant* read it, not in the sense that theyre illiterate, though they are, but in the sense that substantive engagement with the texts would demystify and refute their cloying, sophomoric disinterpretations

RIP, Betty.

Go ahead. Pray. Don't do anything that would actually matter.
Trump: "I've been fully briefed on the Brown University situation. What a terrible thing it is. All we can do right now is pray for the victims." (Trump falsely posted that the shooter is in custody.)

This. Should. Not. Be. Accepted. As. Normal.
The news out of Brown University is heartbreaking. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire campus community. We cannot accept this as normal. We need real action to keep our communities safe.
