    This is grotesque and in a sane society it would be politically disqualifying.

    Genuinely mind-blowing the extent to which MAGA 2.0 boils down to: absolutely no one is qualified to do their job.

    Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed US Attorney prosecuting James Comey at Trump's direction, is an insurance attorney and a Miss Colorado finalist. She has never prosecuted a case.

    I'm a 40-year-old American descendent of slaves. The year is 2021, and I have been "free" my entire life.

    When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.

    We have spent the past few years debating how oppressive the U.S. is. These images of Afghans clinging to a U.S. plane and falling from the sky are a damn sobering reminder that while there are no utopias, we'd better appreciate the society we were lucky enough to be born into.

    Mike Pence and his coronavirus emergency team praying for a solution. We are so screwed.

    Just learned if you phrase the question: Should convicts be ALLOWED to study for the GED and pursue a college education? most Americans will respond: No If you say: Should convicts be FORCED to study for the GED and pursue a college education? most Americans will respond: Yes

    Mind blowing to watch activists tell this woman “this is not the time” to mention that the man shot by police had been *shooting into her apartment* where her kids were.

    Things boiled over during Saturday’s rally and march for Tekle Sundberg, when the 24 year old woman who says he was shooting into her apt. showed up voicing her frustration with those gathering in front of her building on Sundberg’s behalf. @kare11 * video contains profanity *

    Content aside. One of the reasons podcasts have exploded their audiences while cable news dwindles is that it’s actually just unbearable as a viewer to watch a bunch of people shout over each other instead of fully making their points.

    In essence, "decolonizing your bookshelf" is about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long, says @itsjuanlove. trib.al/VKxyuRp

    What if, stay with me, these five men were actually agents responsible for their own reprehensible actions and not merely hapless puppets being manipulated by the invisible hand of inescapable and omnipotent white supremacy?
