then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

I just want to point out that she pushed him and had this great line:
Gerson: “What I thought was really interesting about that column: at no point did you stop to consider whether or not America was a country worth joining.”
Douthat: “I did not.”
Gerson: “Which is a very American thing to do.”

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Teen Vogue has had more guts to dissect and expose the truth when so many veteran media outlets have bent their knees to a criminal despot and his regime and this news is absolutely appalling and unacceptable
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
