the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.

the clear message of this administration is that if your city or state didn’t vote for Donald Trump you do not have the right to self-governance and that will be enforced by the United States military
we know what they are

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

This is a reminder that you can oppose 1) antisemitism, 2) the Gaza genocide, 3) the October 7 attacks, and 4) the current assault on universities, at the same time, and with no contradiction.

If Palestine is the litmus test everybody has failed it, so it's not a surprise the West is in a dire State. The same men bombing brown & Black people indiscriminately will also snatch your white elderly Mom's social security. That's why fighting for rights can't be selective. Everybody or nobody.

Frank Herbert's Children of Dune started 22 years ago today on Sci Fi Channel.
If you can't wait for Villeneuve's likely Dune Messiah, this miniseries will show you what happens after the movies.
Low budget, but Alice Krige, Susan Sarandon and James McAvoy.

oh god I just saw a thing about Bill Maher getting mad at Chappell Roan saying: uhhhh try doing your QUEER shit in Gaza, you free Palestine dumbass!!!
To be fair, Maher does have a point that if Roan were in Gaza today, there is a good chance she would be killed by an extremely racist government

Once you hear that it'd be cheaper to give homeless people homes than not – that it actually costs taxpayers to keep people homeless – it's hard to unhear it.

I love dogs. I love petting people's dogs. But off-leash dogs keep me out of public areas because they are unpredictable. Why are they more entitled to the park than me?
Yeah go ahead, roast me, but I'm right.

The article quotes a guy playing with his off-leash Husky, who says “I think, generally, people know their dogs. I’m not too concerned.”
When I worked at a shelter, every owner whose dog bit someone said the exact same thing: "He never did anything like this before!" Every single time.

Unless you are in an enclosed dog park, keep your dog on a goddamn leash.
