During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

How cruel is that?

People who tell you that the acme of masculinity is domination and a lack of empathy are secretly disarming and weakening you. They take away the strength that comes from solidarity and prime you to accept domination and obedience as natural. They are not natural, they're perversion.

The actual acme of masculinity is whatever you decide a man is. Because if you're a man then anything you do is a priori masculine. If you act in that way, and be confident in it and true to yourself, people will be attracted to it.

The truth is, you’ll never really know how far your kindness travels.

Something you said in passing might still be echoing in someone’s mind.

A small act that felt routine to you might have meant everything to them.

Don’t underestimate the ways you may have made a difference in someone’s life.

There’s no deadline for becoming who you’re meant to be.

Growth takes the time it needs.

You’re allowed to bloom late.

You’re allowed to begin again.

i think the worst one I've seen is "signal isn't secure because my opsec sucks." it's like, "cool, then i won't share any private info with you, still better than using regular messaging or DMs on social media"

"just follow instructions"
the same dogwhistle that they use to defend police brutality against people who they just pulled over for a traffic stop

Text asking "Who was the president?" with the textbox having been filled in as "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" being listed as an "Unknown date or event"

I think the right is overplaying their hand when it comes to trans people. Anecdotal, but I feel like there's been way more people saying the attacks against trans people have gone too far in recent months than I've seen in the past.

I realize now you were being sarcastic, my apologies. Still think it's a good study though.

They propose the argument of it being a constitutional question as to whether parents have a right to know, but instead of providing a discussion as to why it would be a constitutional question, and which parts of the Constitution would apply, they just wave it over as though it were fact.

With how the UK handled Liz Truss and Margret Thatcher, and looking at the current state of the world in general, I'd say Polanski is a more reasonable choice than a decent chunk of Labour.

Republicans win because they're not afraid of looking like hypocrites, but because Democrats are, they just end up looking like fools instead.

It's why they refuse to make ads saying "Trump's sending billions to Argentina while cutting your food stamps." Because then they'd look like hypocrites over all the times they sent money to prop up failing regimes while refusing to provide universal healthcare or free college to Americans.
