Being “tough on crime” is racism. Being Tough on Crime means more police scour the streets for brown n Black people n disproportionately catch us up in the system, turning us into slaves under the 13th amendment once in lock up. Being “tough on crime“ is ALWAYS a racist RW dog whistle.
Being "tough on crime" is just a call for deterrence. And study after study has shown that deterrence doesn't work, except to sate society's demand for vengeance, to treat "criminals" cruelly. And THAT isn't even deterrence at all. It's retribution, and it precludes rehabilitation.

Multiple watches and warnings out there this afternoon. Do you know the difference?

A Tornado WATCH means Be Prepared.
A Tornado WARNING means Take Action!

The CSSL/NTP assisted the US National Weather Service (NWS) with their upgrading of the official rating of the June 2025 Enderlin, ND tornado from EF3 to EF5.

Announced by the NWS today, it’s the first EF5-rated tornado in the US since 2013.

Conversion therapy destroys you. It's torture. I was waterboarded with vinegar until I said I was a boy and wanted to be a boy. I still have nightmares about it to this day.

That's what they want SCOTUS to protect.

I went through conversion therapy.

I hate that name. It's not therapeutic. And it's not that it doesn't work. I hate when people say that, because "doesn't work" implies a placebo. Conversion therapy isn't.

Ukraine follows international law and respects human rights. Israel violates international law and commits crimes against humanity.

It's that simple.

Why won’t those Christofacist folks understand that NOT EVERYONE wants to be Christian AT ALL????? Why won’t they understand that THEY ARE THE PROBLEM???? There’s a lot of reasons why people are no longer religious!

They want to cancel Jimmy Kimmel and kill free speech?

Time to hit them where it hurts—their pockets:
- Cancel Disney+
- Cancel Hulu
- Boycott ESPN
- Boycott ABC

Let them know why you’re canceling/boycotting.

What Trump said is a fucking outrage.

It’s against democracy.

If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, is speculated to be a Groyper based on his memes and rhetoric.

Groypers are a loose network of alt right pro Trump extremist who are vocal supporters of white supremacist and “America First” podcaster Nick Fuentes.
