I'm overjoyed the hostages were released. But the reality of the Trump plan is roughly half of Gaza will become like Area C of the W. Bank, largely off limits to Palestinians. Gaza was already one of most overcrowded places on earth.

The Voting Rights Act has done more than perhaps any other statute to build a multiracial democracy

which is precisely why the Supreme Court’s conservative justices have spent decades casting the law as constitutionally unsound

The Republican justices already know where they’re going. They just have to figure out which route they’re going to take to get there.

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

Marvel (and DC) try so hard to make black female characters work as heroines. They want them to shine, but never so brightly that Monica is the focus instead of Carol. That Misty is the focus instead of Jessica. That Storm is the focus instead of Emma or Jean.

I notice this split a lot on social media: you can really tell who comes from a community that has been finding joy in the face of hardship for generations and who has had the luxury of feeling safe until so recently that they don't think anyone should continue to live until they feel safe again

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

Things will stay stuck unless and until people reckon with why and how we got here *honestly.*

So far the self-distancing from the problem and "We'll Be Back/This is Not Us/Lets Sue Our Way Out of Authoritarianism" Juice is beating y'all's asses.

I promise the exceptionalism won't help.

People saying each busted institution, human rights violation, and cash/data grab is "a distraction."

How do y'all think coverups work?

Because anyone with the stomach to follow it will tell you this is ALL in broad daylight. They're not hiding
anything. Collective denial is NOT concealment.

i think a lot of people don't understand what translating a text _is_. languages are not just word-for-word ciphers for each other. translation involves making a lot of complex creative choices, and the longer the text the more complex. it is, ultimately, an act of rewriting from scratch.

100%. Translation is an art, especially when it comes to prose. A great translation is as rare as a great novel.

"Well the Department of Education wasn't really working for people" - this has absolutely nothing to do with why MAGA decided to destroy it, implicitly defends their decision to do so, and won't earn their votes.
