The myth of America as a white nation is a tawdry fiction, and an obscenity, and while those who promote that myth will never be sneered at as “activists”, there is no shame in being an activist for the messy, shameful, painful but honest version of our history.

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

I wish Leaf fans were like 1/10th as mean as people say we are. A guy has 2 goals and assist in a 5-1 game… ‘a statement game’ is just a standard headline and everyone’s seething.
NBC calling it a “statement game” for Auston Matthews and… was it?

Swear to god, so many of these uber rich guys who keep trying to intellectualize and sanitize white supremacy really are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. They constantly say word salad-y nonsense like this that would cause them to fail a fourth grade US history test.
This odious white supremacist needs to learn some history.

Not so long ago, it was common to see "Irish need not apply" in job listings in the United States. You know, the same type of pernicious prejudice that Elon exhibits regularly.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

There's always a weirdly aggro Republican kid. My college's was named Craig. Back then we could just roll our eyes when he started shit for no reason. Kids these days understand that they don't have that luxury.

I love Jim Ratcliffe actually - you couldn’t ever intentionally come up with a better rallying cry against anti-immigration than what he did.

Like there are Final Fantasy baddies that are less cartoonishly evil.

We are truly in the golden age of video games. The amount of good shit that comes out almost every other week is fucking amazing.

Everything should be critiqued always - but holy shit are video games amazing lately.

My current favourite: Dragon Quest 7 re-imagined.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
