THIS is delightful from #EmilyElbert All proceeds go to the ACLU.
“True power
can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble.
We will not be silent, hear our voices roar like thunder,
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered.”

The photos weren't selected for print at the time because they were blurry or included people whose names weren't as well known.

I mean women’s loneliness has been a joke for decades- the cat lady with her bags. I’ve heard that threat- if ur not careful ur gonna wind up a cat lady! Since I was a kid.
I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

The defense bill sailed through the House last week and is set for Senate action this week.
There aren't any senators opposing the Lumbee tribe hitching a ride on this bill, but some are frustrated by the special treatment it's getting.
Their tribal bills were all left out.

Last week, lawmakers tucked language into a fast-moving defense bill to grant federal recognition to the Lumbee Tribe, which currently only has state recognition.
It's the only tribal provision in the 3,086-page bill.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
