the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

All food discourse today about what foods are bad and which are good all come down to execution. I’m sorry you had a bad time but skills issue.

I feel this in my bones yet I believe it plausible we eventually make it through to a more productive and better information ecosystem. A ubiquitous and pervasive Internet has been around only about 30 years - barely a blip historically. We need a completely new set of institutions and practices.
don't really care how this makes me sound at this point, but the free open internet was a mistake and a lot of people out there were clearly never going to be able to handle it
Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world

There are anti-trans people that claim they are simply sick of hearing about trans issues all the time but this path all but guarantees you will never escape it. Assigned birth gender need not be even mentioned in 99.99% of sport - scrutinizing it at every level is a weird way to talk about it less
I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

This recent period of the racist patriarchy lashing out and attempting to reassert itself only proves how wrong centrists are in their core criticism of the left: “They are over reacting.”

Ken Burns truthfully finds the American Revolution dull as shit. Dragged his feet on doing it but eventually got cornered. He borrowed himself time. But since sweet death decided to spare him until now, they eventually found a way to make him do it.

People aren’t actually mad about the shut down. They are mad the one fight erupting ended.
Next to no one protesting at no kings, held during a government shutdown, ostensibly because of healthcare, had signs about the shutdown or HC.
Nothing would have been good enough. We want our country back.

Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇
