Larry Summers wrote a memo claiming that Africa was "underpolluted", and we're supposed to be surprised that he's also a sex pest scumbag? He should've been ostracized by the left three decades ago.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

There are so many reasons to vote for Mamdani, and many more reasons why one should not vote for Cuomo.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Framing human rights in terms of "the average" explicitly means discarding those seen as "less than average", including the sick. That's just eugenics. It's exactly how eugenics operates. It's an explicitly eugenicist position. These people should be shunned
I recently looked up the Arabic translation of some of the names of the emaciated children used in coverage of the alleged famine in Gaza.
It turns out that many of them were sick before the war and have long, complicated medical histories. Our reporting shows they do not represent the average.

As a professional public health scientist I can't believe I have to remind "journalists" that the whole fucking point of public health is not to protect the *average* but to protect the *vulnerable*. Protecting the vulnerable protects everyone. The framing here is murderous, apologetic, eugenicist

I just can’t find the humor in the false fear generated by Republicans in DC because it’s not sincere and it’s not really funny, it’s their way of saying that Black people don’t belong in society, that Black people are inherently unsafe, and that it’s worth using violence to segregate us.

I've taught at Brown several times and it was always a great experience at a smart, community-minded institution. Never again. The level of cowardice and the willingness to comply is absolutely shameful and baffling. I would not willingly associate myself with them again.
