And if you dismiss people who came to bigotry later in life as “well they must have always been evil”, you are missing how that radicalisation happened. And that’s dangerous, because if we refuse to acknowledge the problem then we can’t address it.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Migration has always been a part of human history, with people moving to seek better opportunities and escape conflicts, violence and climate-related impacts.

of course I’m being a bit facetious but honestly the only people who ask that are the ones who really want to say “how do I explain to my kids that I’m a bigot while still pretending to myself that I’m a good person”. because that’s what they’re struggling with.

The justices "knew" who belonged and who didn't, and simply reached for whatever rationale would allow them to get the result they wanted.
One year, "science" trumped a common sense argument.

It's 16 minutes past 3. The sun has set in #Orkney. Just 6 hours and 19 minutes of daylight today.
We are almost at the shortest day but there will still be 9 minutes less daylight on the #WinterSolstice.
And then the light returns. 💡

The streetscape where this happened. No sidewalks, the only bit of gravel space beside the road used for more parking (despite massive driveways and garages at each house). This is a half block from a daycare and elementary school.

What Senator Cotton says here would be a bad defense for the Germans convicted in WWI and WWII war crimes trials -- including for firing on shipwrecked in fully operational lifeboats.
This line of response hurts the US and US servicemembers. It will cause long-term damage unless we get this right.

You cannot match the size and resources of these organizations that are abandoning trans youth and sacrificing trans lives, but you have one advantage they do not: an ability to maintain a relentless focus upon them.
Make it your work, every week, to think about how you can punish them.
