This is why so many of us should have been listening to Black voices and learning far more about the history of racism in America.
All of that led us here. Fascism was already here for many others. And now it’s coming for the rest. If we had fought for others harder, we’d have prevented it.

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.
I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

The purpose of saying "yes, you did fucking vote for this" isn't to say i told you so or make people feel guilty (although they should feel guilty)
The point is trying to get them to understand what they did to prevent them from doing it again
It's to get them to stop touching hot stoves

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.
