The idea of a “liberal media“ is a myth. Corporate owners keep silencing voices of dissent to suck up to the fascist leader.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

SINNERS. Go see it. In a theater. 70mm if possible. I’d read nothing about the movie, watched no trailers — went in blind and was BLOWN AWAY. And Delroy Lindo better get an Oscar nomination.

Aunt Lydia in the Handmaid's Tale says: “There is more than one kind of freedom, freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from.”

Where freedom from ends up is Gilead.

I want freedom to. Always and forever freedom to.
as ever. when people say "hard-won female spaces" all I can ever hear is "mechitzah", the curtain I grew up standing behind in synagoge while the men got on with doing the service & we women got to listen in silence, in our "hard-won female space".

"separate is never equal" is a very good principle

In this country, everyone has constitutional rights—not just US citizens.

Van Hollen did what few have the guts to do—he showed up. In person. For someone our government is using as a pawn.

The Constitution says “persons,” not “citizens.” Due process is not optional.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

1/2 Now that I've finished it, I want to recommend to you "The Siren's Call" by @chrislhayes.bsky.social. It's not a screed, not a guilt trip, not a collection of hot takes, but a deeply researched and even sympathetic look at our addictions to scrolling and distraction.
