The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

It’s remarkable how strongly some of the people listed OPPOSED the shooting. They’re being put on just for things like worrying what the right will do. And these losers running the site are proving them right.

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."
THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is now a literary demonstration of "horseshoe theory." MAGA hates it bc it's "blood libel to the South" and the far-left has repudiated it for "centering" a white girl and promoting a "white savior" character (Atticus).
Meanwhile, normal people continue to love the book.

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

“Go to an old cemetery.
See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone.”

Labor Day honors workers struggles for employment rights & dignity. Far-right fascists have always tried to crush unions & silence labor power.
Under Trump’s new regime, it’s more urgent than ever to defend labor rights & remember that Labor Day belongs to workers, not their oppressors.

AI does not have a brain. It's a sorting machine. It does not know how to carve harm from old works. It does not know how to take a story and make it relevant to our society of 2025. It does not know how to look at our history and imagine a future. It can only steal from Octavia Butler, not BE her.
