Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

there are more urgent global matters than the need for RFK to resign but domestically there are few if any more pressing. The harm he has already done is immense; the harm he's poised to do is incalculable
i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this
Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"

Friendly reminder if Medicaid gets cut I will very literally, not hypothetically, die. That’s just a fact. And there are millions of others just like me. We’re not just numbers, we’re not just political topics, we’re not just plot points and percentages. We are very real. Please remember that.

Hi All, I sent this post out yesterday. The Russian campaign against Ukrainian cities and civilians is being directly supported by Trump's policy of depriving Ukraine of more Patriot missiles. Its indicative of how the US is changing sides.
Hi All, just sent out this free piece. Trump is actively working with Putin to see Ukrainian civilians killed, some now and more in the future. He is depriving Ukraine of vital anti air defense, which the Ukrainians are willing to buy (helping the US economy) open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.
An innocent man who committed no crime but is the same race as the person who murdered your daughter should have to spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp is the argument?

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
