sometime this year, donald trump is going to say the money we took from other countries in the form of tariffs will be used to pay for greenland and the right-wing propaganda machine will repeat it. it won't matter that this makes no sense at all bc nothing matters.

Just 34 people control 12% of income in the U.S. and people still think immigrants are the problem.

Iโ€™m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if thereโ€™s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.

It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister
It's much more than just a casual insult.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Yet another example of women of colour not getting the antenatal care they need, having their symptoms being discounted by doctors and experiencing medical neglect.

Propublica is great but โ€œcommitment to lifeโ€ is inaccurate and frankly deeply offensive. North Carolina legislated an attack on medical care for women that results in death and injury of women and girls who have the misfortune to need medical care that is denied to them.

1/ Ciji Graham was the mother of 2-year-old SJ, a sister to 9 younger siblings, a beloved friend.

She's also the 7th case weโ€™ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

Donโ€™t forget Goodโ€™s widow.

So the mourning spouse, the mayor, and the governor are under criminal investigation. But not the cops who shot her three times, called her a โ€œfucking bitch,โ€ and denied her medical care.
The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday.

The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Justice Department says it has no plans to investigate ICE agent who killed Renee Good and confirms Walz, Frey probe
Frey and the governorโ€™s office both said Sunday that the DOJ has not contacted them about the investigation.

Season two isnโ€™t out yet on physical media and, still stunned as I am that they aired it instead of locking it in the vault or outright destroying it, I really hope it will get released some day.

"The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident."

Watching this was what living in medieval England the day someone invented spice must have been like.

โ€œRandom acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. The day will come when these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.โ€

Andor is a story about how a thousand nameless and unremembered people will have to sacrifice everything so a gay kid who left his home in Space Idaho four days ago can close his eyes and Fuck It We Ball the most important shot in galactic history on the advice of a ghost

Watching from Andor through ROTJ, it's very funny to see all of those serious missions lead to Solo doing the "tap a guy on the shoulder and then run the opposite way" maneuver with the stakes at their highest. Sir do you know how many people died just so you could frolic like this

i will remain furious that the acolyte was not allowed to unfurl for a second season (at least) because leslye headland was cooking and had a plan and a vision.

but i would be surprised if anything ever hits me as directly as andor again, yeah.

when the first season wrapped, i looked at my wife and was like, โ€œi canโ€™t believe a profit-seeking entity released that on the streamer for kids.โ€ i honestly did not believe theyโ€™d ever let season 2 air, much less as written.

In normal times, either of these headlines -- turning the European alliance against the U.S. b/c the President is threatening to invade Greenland, or sending troops to Minnesota so that masked gestapo can continue snatching people off the street & shooting civilians -- would be instant impeachment
