I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I love it when I can tell there's shit going on out there on the Internet but somehow the details haven't actually reached me. Makes me feel like I don't have a doom scrolling problem.

this is your reminder that the owners of the New York Times, during the Holocaust, openly admitted they didn't consider themselves the same as the Jews being annihilated by the Nazis, nor did they consider covering the Holocaust an important story
I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...
