We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

I'm sick of the media focusing only on the "who's to blame for the shutdown" tomfuckery. Your job is to accurately report the actual facts-- more importantly how the GOP is still LYING about the facts. Do that and people can decide for themselves who is responsible for this bullshit state of affairs

FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada.
That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands.
This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.
