when you get down to it, one of hollywood's biggest failures over the course of a hundred plus years of movie making is that there are fewer movies about the civil war that aren't morally and historically repulsive than you can count on one hand

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

DO NOT MISTAKE EARNESTNESS FOR A THING TO BE AFRAID OF. “Cringe” or s too often simply just the word used to mask the discomfort that comes with being vulnerable! It’s okay to feel vulnerable about being earnest about important issues in the world!

All Michigan Law students got this email today threatening to sue the school for, basically, discriminating against white men. Warns students applying to law review not to discuss their "race, sexual proclivities, or gender non-conforming behavior," or "FASORP will ensure that you live to regret it"

The US is undergoing the worst self-inflicted destruction of health, education, and knowledge creation infrastructure since the great leap forward. We will all be substantially less educated, poorer, and sicker while millions will die from completely preventable causes. It's civilizational suicide.

The rhetorical victory is this: the proposal that we can and will outlast them.
Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Some will say a speech doesn’t mean much.
I respectfully disagree.
Words matter and rhetoric matters. Yes, action must follow but words inspire. Words can even change reality, create new realities. There’s a mystery to the power of the spoken word.
What Sen. Booker did today was important.

The SAVE Act will disenfranchise tens of millions of women in America. It’s blatant voter suppression.
