This man has been doing good for decades, but also, damn, does he know protest messaging and optics. He's got his one-sentence, clear summary of what he's there to protest and he is going to make sure everyone hears it.
Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress:
"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

Octavia Butler couldn’t see the future. She saw what was happening in front of her and, in addition to studying the past, was able to imagine where it would lead. It’s important to tell the truth about her because mythologizing her is a disservice to her legacy.

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

This is the perfect analogy.
If you want more people to run, you don’t give them mopeds.
If you want more people to make art, you don’t give them image generators.
This doesn’t “democratize” anything

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

i feel like i’m losing my mind because the democrats said the absolute bare minimum on trans rights during an election where you couldn’t watch sports without seeing 200 anti-trans campaign ads but now “the democrats are too pro-trans” is an opinion i’m supposed to pretend is based in reality
