I read the letters from Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Debra Jo Rupp, Giovanni Ribisi, and Billy Baldwin, and the take away is this: A man can be an extraordinary father, friend, and colleague and still be a rapist. And a rapist often hides that side of himself from others.

Just to be clear, when she refers to the keffiyeh as a “terrorist scarf” she is saying that Palestinians are by definition terrorists. It’s not only profoundly racist but it’s also an incitement to violence given the legal expectations of what should be done to terrorists.

I’m so tired of these headlines that frame people waiting to cross the border as if they’re an invading army and not desperate, hungry and tired people who have gone to extraordinary almost unimaginable lengths in order to make a better life for themselves and their families

There is a serious problem with antisemitism in this country which is why it sucks so bad that the anti-defamation league lies about it and distorts reporting by mixing up anti-Zionism with antisemitism, when there are literally anti-Zionist Jews

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you’re looking to donate money, find out who is doing anti-racist and anti-poverty work in your community and give it to them. That’s much better than big national organizations.

“Over the last two decades, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has reported on required financial disclosure forms that his family received rental income totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars… But that company…has not existed since 2006.”

Tweet card media

Clarence Thomas has for years claimed income from a defunct real estate firm

The misstatements are part of a pattern that has raised questions about how the justice views his obligation to report details about his finances to the public.

What matters is that a lot of people decided that Amber Heard was lying because she did all of the things someone is supposed to do, like collecting evidence. Because apparently that’s proof she was planning to ruin him. But if she hadn’t they would say there’s no evidence.

This is basically what happened when the US colonized what is now Liberia & sent formerly enslaved Black people there. The formerly enslaved ppl ended up treating the indigenous ppl there the SAME way white USians had treated them - preventing them from voting, etc.

The term “microaggression” was coined by barrier breaking Black psychiatrist Chester Pierce, and he didn’t mean the impact was small. He meant that it was an every day, individual manifestation of the larger structural phenomenon. #BlackHistoryMonth

Don’t associate Holocaust denial with Palestine activism. Palestinians aren’t denying the Holocaust. They are simply demanding an end to the one being visited on them.

A classic example of why we need to complicate our narratives about celebrating "diversity." This lab is led by a woman of color and has students of color in it, and they are doing some fuckshit that aids and abets mass incarceration, housing, and employment discrimination.

I’m looking forward to reading a thoughtful piece BY A BLACK PERSON about what it means for a working class Black man in a sweatsuit to be the face of the first Amazon shop to unionize. I grew up in the 1980s labor movement, and that face of union organizing was hidden.
