We don't give credit to America for the centuries old tradition of people standing up against America for the same reason we don't give credit to abusive husbands that repeatedly batter their wives.
Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

Sure, casting Jared Leto to play a villainous character in a blockbuster didn’t work for Suicide Squad, Morbius, Haunted Mansion, or Tron: Ares…. But maybe, just maybe, it’ll work out for Masters Of The Universe

Do people think old people with skin conditions don't exist, or do they just think ugliness is caused by evil?
the president wont see your posts making fun of how he's looking these days but your friends whose skin seems to be sloughing off in wet discolored chunks as the psychic weight of their craven wretchedness becomes manifest will

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her.
This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.
