No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

There’s an episode of Batman The Animated Series where the head of one crime family thinks his rival kidnapped his son, only to have Batman show him that his kid is in rehab after getting hooked on the drugs he pushes. And that’s only half of the emotional weight of the episode. God I love this show

One of the best parts of the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions has been TJ’s admiration for his competitors - he just looks so impressed and happy for them and it’s super wholesome!

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.

USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.

They are giving you actionable information.

The arguments I have received from the pro-ICE world are “it all happened so fast” but looking down your barrel through an open window at the side of a person’s head and pulling the trigger is murder.
If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

It’s important that people:

1. Don’t let them bury their lies about Renee. Make them own that forever.

2. Focus on the administration’s lies about Alex, even if they aren’t being said by Vance and Trump.

when little kids are being brave and trying not to let you see their feelings it’s so heartbreaking. this strong little guy is a rebuke to the whole rotten system & the ideology that drives it. we don’t reform that system. we end it so that kids like this don’t have to live like this.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This country is run by petulant children who have never spent a single second being introspective.

These are people with fragile identities who can't fathom the thought of teaching our actual history.

I'm sick of it.

They don't want us to learn anything.

They don't want us to grow.

They don't want us to be better people.

They just want us to pretend.
Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

How far we have not come in 250 years.

Everything has been so sinister and there’s no real ranking to the villainy but this feels more abjectly, viscerally disgusting.
ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!
