A very close family member (not my parents) has been going through a protracted experience with stage 4 cancer. It's become clear that this week we are saying our goodbyes. If I'm unresponsive for a bit, that's why.
In the meantime: tell your people that you love them & why you love them.

On the same day as his ‘fat jab’ launch, Trump issued new reason to deny visas to foreigners: obesity

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis.
Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.
