We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I wrote about the debate on whether protest is “useless” because it has not yet achieved its demands and how these criticisms betray a fundamental lack of understanding of the purpose of protest and the necessity of movement building

NEW: Photo released showing the treatment of 100s of people deported by Trump to El Salvador, in defiance of a federal judge ruling.
Remember, none of these individuals had any due process. They had no opportunity to contest any evidence, if is existed.
A grievous human rights violation.

So much wrong in that Schumer interview. This is far from the worst but telling:
"The bottom line is, I think the party as a whole neglected how the social media has become so much more important, but we’re learning it quickly, and we’re doing it much better, and we’re gonna do it better still."
"The bottom line is, I think the party as a whole neglected how the social media has become so much more important, but we’re learning it quickly, and we’re doing it much better, and we’re gonna do it better still."
A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional.

That's exactly what the yes votes today signaled: there is no bill bad enough for us to block it.
As bad as this one is, the next one will be magnitudes worse and include all sorts of horrors.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool
