We’ve seen video of a child being gunned down on a playground in the name of fighting crime and many people decided that was a necessary part of society.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

The alpha wolf concept was debunked by the very guy who coined it because he realized that wolves in the wild are extremely communal and defer to parents for guidance. The “alpha” behavior was observed in captivity and was a terrified and violent male lashing out to feel some sort of control.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

- 40 hour work week

With Black Friday approaching, there will inevitably be well-intentioned talk that these deals are only possible because workers are denied a livable wage.
Don't buy into this. It's not low prices vs. fair pay. It's the demand for ever-higher profits and shareholder returns that forces deprivation.

The people spreading misinformation know exactly what they are doing. They don't care and they made sure that you won't care either. At least not until it's too late. White supremacy is a death cult and it isn't the only one. Hating your neighbors will kill them and you too.

I've always loved the historical fun fact that Donald P. Bellisario knew Lee Harvey Oswald in the Marines, and has always hated JFK assassination conspiracies because he knew Oswald was an extremist crank who could have easily made the shot, and devoted an entire episode of Quantum Leap to it.
JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Saying that swastikas and Confederate flags aren't hate symbols is blatantly wrong, but I'm losing my shit over nooses being called "politically divisive". It's literally a terrorist group's preferred murder weapon and a blatant threat of murder. What the actual fuck?

The whole "has MeToo gone too far?" and the hysteria/moral panic over the potential for false rape allegations all boils down to terror of women being able to speak freely.
It is absolute terror at the specter of equality.

You don’t want to fear false rape allegations?
Cool. Start making a world in which rape allegations are unlikely to be true.
But you won’t, because most men, deep down, see themselves as having more in common with men who maybe just… didn’t listen to a no than with the woman who said it.

Look, men aren’t worried about being falsely accused of rape. False rape allegations occur at roughly the same frequency as false allegations of murder/etc., and they seem real not worried about those, even though they also wreck your reputation.

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.
