Attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion are the canary in the coal mine.

Now, the U.S. Coast Guard no longer considers swastikas, nooses, or the confederate flag symbols of hate.

This is indefensible.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.
Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

Okay, so admittedly the first Tron was a critical and box office flop, and the second Tron was also a critical and box office flop, but I have some high expectations for this new Tron starring a man who exclusively makes critical and box office flops!

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country
to be more specific, although FDR had to play ball with southern segregationists in congress, he did not do so by sacrificing black voters in the urban north to their whims.

People who are not good people frequently want to believe the artists and creators they idolize hold the same opinions and positions they do, and get very shirty when they are told by informed sources that they are in fact very wrong about that
He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Part of what's great about One Piece is that almost every horribly sad backstory is setup for characters overcoming all their hardships and never letting it break them.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The beginning of true democracy in America. A offering to this country paid for by the work, dedication and lives of ordinary Black people.

We’ve always had to fight. Are you prepared to fight to protect our rights?

The average grave is 8 feet long.

If we were to line 22,000 graves up one after the other, they would reach from the Washington Monument to the Chesapeake Bay.

If we were to represent ten of these wholly unnecessary deaths with a hash mark, this is how many hash marks we'd need:

Just as authors are increasingly losing school visits due to right-wing book bans, we are now going to lose paid library speaking engagements due to federal funding cuts. Speaking is often a big component of authors’ incomes. The destruction of culture continues.
