Abolish state-run harm to out-groups
No one is illegal
No one is a monster
No one is less human than another
We are all just as worthy of life, liberty, and dignity as any other no matter who we are or where we're from

breaking: we've stolen the future from our children to finance our 7th houses, yet they still go on eating and drinking
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

The special thing about the Pam Bondi clip is not that a US official would put money-making above child sexual abuse but that she said it so openly
We already knew that the powerful in the US care more about money than kids' health and lives because of the US's own domestic and foreign policy

Pam Bondi wants you to know that she'd let all the rich men rape your kids so long as it benefits her stock portfolio
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

US needs centrist Republicans and Democrats to recognize that Republicans have always been especially harmful to society before Trump and will be so after Trump
Not a group with whom to agree to disagree, but a self-destructive, self-debasing movement and force operating within the state itself

all I’ll add is Bondi, as Florida AG, used “fighting sex trafficking” to elevate herself—empowering cops at the expense of survivors. long before Trump she was like this

it seems very clear to me that there are a lot of people who care more about having someone to fight than they care about actually winning or making the world better

The headlines may have gotten distracted, but the violence, brutality, and lack of accountability have persisted within our community. Minnesota is still under occupation.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

How fucked up that the most reliable way for the world to get better is for the Empire to turn on its own with a fraction of the awfulness they do elsewhere just enough for a significant amount of the only people on Earth that can affect that government to go "yo this is evil wtf".

Despite the awfulness, the US government pulling shitty US government things on US soil remains the only reliable way to get US people to react to the US government the way US people probably should react to the US government no matter where the US government does shitty US government things.

You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you'll have sore boobs for a while NGL and you'll probably cry a lot, oh and people will be awful! But also it'll be pretty good, honestly. Much better orgasms.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

“The problem before us should not be: "How can we find common ground with racists?" We should ask more uncooperative questions: "How do we find common ground with everyone else to better exclude them” 💯💯💯
The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...
