My favourite line is "who told you that?" because you can ask it in a sincere way that defuses/lessens anger [especially on thee family you're less safe around, hopeful) while also often stopping the rancid shit.
Dear fellow white people
Racism doesn't always prance around in white robes and hoods.
It's your aunt Karen at the holidays, saying rancid shit at the table, while you keep silent because 'that's how she is' and you want to keep the peace.

Zero tolerance for that shit. Period.

The 'difference' between legal and illegal immigrant is a pointless one ESPECIALLY when the laws are convoluted, arbitrary, and years-long.
Immigrants are people and "worth" the same as a citizen, etc.
More often than not, it's just a dog-whistle by those who see ALL immigrants as an evil.

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.
Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.
Now ... they seek revenge.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The dog's whole vibe is "GREAT NEWS BUDDY - YOU GOT THE BED BUGS!"
This is Zephyr. He is a professionally trained bed bug detector. When he recognizes the scent of live bed bugs, he gives an alert by sitting and smiling exuberantly at his handler. We're pretty sure no one has ever been more excited to find bed bugs in their life. 13/10 (TT: emmercrew)

One way in which Israeli settler colonialism very closely matches that of North America's is the way in which the "frontier-settler" has a de facto alliance with the army. The army allows settler violence to happen and in many cases actively supports it, without official policy needing to say so.

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.
We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.
