Anderson Cooper’s exit from 60 Minutes is another sign that Bari Weiss is ruining CBS News in service to an authoritarian regime that wants no accountability journalism. What a disgrace.

Reminder- These nasty ass people aren't stepping down from positions because of associations with Epstein. They're quitting because they got outted in the files.

in 2023 when I was organizing parents against our archbishop’s transphobic new school guidelines, one dad asked how loud I thought it was prudent for us to be, given how punitive the Archbishop is. I was like “loud enough that all the trans/nb kids at your parish see it” and he was like “…. oh”
Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

⚠️ Eighteen people in Texas remain in jail after being accused of “providing material support for terrorism” for participating in an anti-ICE protest.
The case is intended to set a precedent criminalizing protest.
Jury selection begins for a trial involving nine of the defendants on February 17th.

Pay attention to the Prairieland case.
By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

It's like ICE is completely ignoring every lesson that moderately competent police forces are forced to learn, like "don't do high speed chases in densely populated areas with low risk targets"
ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.
Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE
According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

Pretty cool that national places are delving into how Minneapolis is different. But they have really got to dig a little deeper. People know about the music scene, but no other city in the country had a worker co-op community over generations like Minneapolis.
