spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they can’t be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

I absolutely hate how every US media outlet will do this every time a cop shoots someone. They'll make the headline vague to imply an officer was shot by a suspect, then abuse passive voice to absolve the officer of any wrongdoing. "the agent’s weapon discharged". BRO, HE SHOT HIS COLLEAGUE.

More natural disasters are hitting the U.S. than ever before.
But too often, our crisis warning systems depend on Facebook and Twitter/X, social media platforms that are fading in popularity and have been engineered to hide vital information from people when they need it most.

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office.
Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
