people seem really confused about racial categories maybe we should have some educational programs to teach how these historically constructed categories structure our entire society in insidious ways we could even do programming in workplaces to improve how people communicate with each other

Video shows a young man carrying his dead father on a bicycle after he was shot while trying to secure food parcels at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid site in Gaza.

Israeli forces have killed more than 220 Palestinians at GHF aid distribution sites since they opened.

Germans don't get that this makes them look worse. The entire nation is aware that a genocide is happening and nobody says or does anything. You've been there before...
63% of Germans think that the government should put more pressure on the Israeli government.

77% are in favor of temporarily suspending arms exports to Israel.

Israel has publicly announced it is starving & flattening Gaza & forcing anyone still alive in a tiny sliver of their land. And the world is just watching. And the flotilla headed there is bombed with drones. People are starving, eating one meal a day or one every two days.

if you picketed with SAG-AFTRA and/or the WGA, if you marched for trans rights, if you were at any of the anti-Trump rallies the last few months, I had better fucking see you out supporting student encampments and protests for Palestine this summer

It’s so funny when people try to make sense of his ramblings. “It’s hard to figure out how he would implement such a plan” lol he’s an impulsive moron who doesn’t understand shit, it’s like ascribing complex motives to a dog eating another dog’s poop
“It is unclear how such a tariff would work because movies aren’t physical goods that move through ports like most items subject to tariffs. [Trump] would need to determine how to value a movie in order to apply the tariffs, as well as what the threshold would be to classify it as an import.”
Trump Calls for 100% Tariff on Movies Made Overseas
The president called the use of incentives by foreign countries to draw filmmakers and studios away from the U.S. a national security threat.

I just watched a clip of Candace Owens saying she finally disagrees with Trump, then read comments saying if we can get people like Candace on our side, we’ll win. What I need people to understand is that influencers like Candace are dishonest. They will only ever say things that make them money.

Selling off federal lands for home building — as Poilievre wants to do — is a bad idea. Keeping them and building affordable homes on — as the NDP wants to do — is a good idea.

I love debates, but obvi I’m a weirdo.

What am I looking for in the next 48 hours? I am looking for leaders who say real things, who give voters real information, with real solutions to the world’s tough problems. I’m tired of the bullshit. We don’t have time for bullshit.
