My college was so feminist, I got a Bitchler’s instead of a Bachelor’s. They are slightly different degrees: with a Bachelor’s you can get a job; with a Bitchler’s you are ALREADY a working girl. (Rim shot.) 我的大学非常重视女权主义，所以我拿到的是 Bitchler 学位而不是学士学位。（我开个玩笑。）

noooooo! Link is one of the best people on this platform. @jay.bsky.team @support.bsky.team you need to bring Link back immediately
Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

GET AN F-ING CLUE: stop writing about people of color and then using biased language to devalue their color! The use of “dark” as a synonym for “bad” is a micro-aggression that results in macro-oppression.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

When it comes to right wingers, think about this: they're anti-CRT, anti-Woke, anti-DEI, anti-BLM because they're for systemic racism, for uniformity, inequality, & exclusion, & don't value black lives.
They may argue with that but their actions speak louder than their words.

@npr.org The use of “dark,” “black,” or “shade” as a synonym for “bad” is a micro-aggression that results in macro-oppression.
The constant devaluing of darkness pushes the narrative that dark is evil even though the visual spectrum does not confer morality.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.
The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.
Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?
Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

LA DODGERS just now:
“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”
Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

This all comes down to policy choices.
Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment?
Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion?
This is the choice before us.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
