"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.

They don’t want you to see photos of the men they kidnapped and trafficked like this, because it counters their racist narrative and makes the CECOT propaganda all the more horrible in juxtaposition. Which is of course why we should see these images

Word that the great Drew Struzan, who painted more iconic movie posters in the 1980s & 90s than you can imagine, has entered the final stages of Alzheimers. His wife asked that everyone thinks of him and his work and I'm certainly glad to do so. What a talent.
