If this happened to a conservative organizer, Republicans would make her a hero, a household name and a congressional candidate.
Elected Democrats just pretend it isn't happening.

30 years ago Eric Cantona kicked a nazi and was banned from football for the remainder of the season, possibly dashing United's hope for the title.
In 2021, he said about the incident:
'I have one regret. I would have loved to have kicked him even harder.'
Legend.

Another example of the fact that there are very few technically difficult questions of economics; "difficult questions" are just difficult because you don't like the obvious answer

The Republican Party tried and failed more than 60 times to repeal Obamacare when they were out of power.
60 fucking times.
Maybe Democrats should consider trying to impeach Trump more than *twice*?

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.

13c Mongol discovery of catholic Europe had a tremendous impact on natives' art!
Renaissance painters imitated Mongolian ʼPhags-pa script mashed up with Arabic to decorate the mother of god, angels, Jesus Christ etc.
They couldn't read it, but it sure made Christianity look more Mystic and Cool!

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

Lots of people learning about oil markets this week which is really good!
But I haven't seen any mention of a big issue, which is that U.S. shale oil reserves need high oil prices (> ~$60/bbl) and so it's "Bad For America" when big, new, close-to-market reserves come on line and lower prices 🤷🏻♂️

(1) Trump wants the Venezuelan oil
(2) it will require lots of capex and may not be financially or logistically feasible to restart oil production
(3) Rubio likely sold this to Trump on the basis of oil royalty/revenue while he wanted to contain Havana and enforce LatAm order

the entire thing was insane. it was like "you must be lying about sour crude because if this war was for oil, it must be worthwhile"

Genuinely concerned by the # of ppl who responded to this with examples of stories about vampires, fictional countries and blue cat people. Do people not understand what a metaphor is? Or do they think Latveria is a real place? Can you genuinely not see the diff between Avatar and the Nocenti panel?

What's weird is Trump and his crew aren't even pretending this about being "greeted as liberators." They're straight up saying they're on a smash and grab, while the press is trying to find some more noble pretext for them.
