The most famous magazine cover about the Atlanta Race Massacre was in a French journal. Ida B. Wells was forced to engage in international advocacy to raise the profile of the US anti-lynching cause. And the list goes on. Very important in this moment.

hearing that the students in our UConn campus jail are not being fed. also we have a campus jail.

What's so fascinating about this is that it's the left taking radical, beautiful action. While centrists say there's nothing we can do to stop Israel's genocide, the left is pushing for action, for divestment from the war machine, for justice. This statement is nonsense.

crazy that a child was murdered and his
mother stabbed and also three young men were shot, all because they are palestinian and that’s not even in the conversation about who is safe in america right now

Bidenism is essentially passing some good (but not transformational) policies domestically while funding and supporting obscene, barbaric acts abroad. Perhaps he sees this as an improvement from the past, where U.S. troops were sent to directly do the killing vs funding another

James Cameron: 'In Star Wars the good guys are the rebels, they're using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire, I think we call those guys terrorists today.'

George Lucas: 'When I did it they were Vietcong. That was the whole point.'

The obsession about birth rates is wild to me. Who actually wants the population to keep growing forever? Who wants there be 200 billion people in the world? Not the plants. Not the animals. Not the planet. Most people don’t even want that many people. Birth rates reflect that.

Every time median rent goes up $100, homelessness goes up 9%.

But sure, keep talking about 'drug addiction.'

Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent:
'This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another.'
