If you're wondering why this act of murder seems to be gaining more traction than others it's because politicians and the media decided to make it a big deal. You have to do that from time to time instead of always going "lol fml freal though" 24/7.

As a college professor, I am quite interested in the answer to this.
if this is discrimination, I’m genuinely unsure what you’re supposed to do when a student responds to a prompt with some religious gibberish

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Normally I don't go much for the "this is humiliating" framework for what's happening in this country—I didn't do it, and my self-worth is not tied up in America in any way. Watching Bolsonaro get sent up for decades for committing the exact same crime of treason that Trump did? That's humiliating.

Our natural state as humans is not hate. It may be something closer to fear or self preservation, but even that alone does not manifest into hatefulness. True hate takes cultivation and effort and those are things that hateful people cannot maintain.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.
This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.
