"No thinking person should lend any credence to the idea that this attempt to terrorize Omar, her constituents, and the Somali community was remotely investigatory. This was an armed attack on the home of a Black woman who is a sitting Congresswoman."

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

I wonder what would have happened if folks had taken seriously the rise in political violence and threats against women, trans, Black, and antifascist organizers and figures back when we were all getting swatted and sent photoshops of ourselves beheaded

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."

I am biased but I do think that if you want to write literary criticism, you should read books

Last time I succumbed to this feeling, I asked myself, ā€œIf I wake up on November 4 and this happened, and I could transport myself back to today, what would I do?ā€ That’s when I began doing two doorknock shifts a week. If your life allows, please do what you can now. You can help change the future.

"One of the things that bothers me the most about this shift is that now we're seeing fanfiction just look like what's valued by the publishing industry. [...] I hate to see it get kinda squeezed back into these very traditional forms that, I think, it always existed in opposition to." Thisss!

Gen Z moviegoers are trying to claim Robert Pattinson, a 40-year-old millennial, as their own. This is shameless swagger-jacking, just like how Gen Z fans try to claim Charli XCX. But when I was dancing to "I Love It" in sweaty clubs in the early 2010s, I certainly didn't see any middle schoolers.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.
