Rev. David Black raised a stark warning: people are being held, transferred, and deported with little transparency and the public knows almost nothing about the conditions they while in detention.

Faith leaders are calling for accountability and truth.

We’ll probably never again see such a casual, celebratory, & memorable gathering of Jim Henson’s family of characters as is found in 1987’s A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS…

like a lot of 70s punk it can be hard to really hear what it might have sounded like in context but in the socal punk scene Crass jackets (homemade of course) were abundant and the slogans and iconography were wide-reaching
On this day in Wyrd Britain history...
1978 - #Crass recorded their debut album, 'The Feeding of the 5000'. One of the most completely realised debut records of it's era; it's sound and its themes quickly came to define its own sub-genre of punk, and its impact can still be felt today.

The video is an uncomfortable watch, but an important one nonetheless.

Hearing Cathy tell the story of what happened to her is an important part of Magic: The Gathering's history, one that needs to be known about and acknowledged: youtu.be/-WVnrKRsuqI?...

Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.
white cis men blocking people of color and other members of vulnerable communities because their risk factor is a lot different than ours is peak white nonsense.

It's also how I know they don't give a shit about us.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

you want more women playing your game? you don't need to make pandering and patronizing themes, you just need to make it so that when they go to stores and events, they actually feel welcome and secure, and not just surrounded by a bunch of neanderthals who can't wait to talk down to the newcomers
