When it’s one group facing calls for violent extinction, speaking up with “all lives matter” is as pathetically banal as it is spineless. Understanding that was the bare minimum in 2020

the rage that reading this makes me feel. just full 'need to stare into the middle distance because we are so, so lost' stuff.
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

this pod spurred a new hatred in my soul
This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

I’ve honestly fully lost track, but we’ve got to be somewhere north of 40,000 whistles that have passed through my hands. Around half that went into whistle kits we directly assembled and the rest were given out to other individuals and orgs.
