layers of smash

You all are talking about “the Pope is weak on crime” and I feel like the real gem is “should get his act together as Pope.”

Despite this guy's claim that everyone else is running on feelings while he's running on logic/data, this isn't the case. He's using an isolated data point & refusing all context to buttress his own sense that things are fine.

Never trust a dude who says only other people think with their feelings.

The over 300,000 Haitian TPS holders in America are essential workers & valued community members.

Ending TPS for Haiti would be devastating and destabilizing for our communities, our economy, and our country.

Men are too emotional to be president.

Coco Gauff responds to criticism of natural hair in Miu Miu shoot: ‘The girls who get it, get it’ Gauff posted a video on social media in response to comments about a shoot she did for Miu Miu.

Hair discrimination is as pernicious as discriminating against someone based on their skin color or any other immutable feature. No Black woman—esp one as spectacular as @CocoGauff—should ever have to explain the beauty of her natural hair. Shine on Coco!

How Hungary’s Orbán Uses Control of the Media To Escape Scrutiny and Keep the Public in the Dark Budapest, Hungary — In the months leading up to elections for the European Parliament, Hungarians were warned that casting a ballot against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán would be a vote for all-out war....

"According to press watchdog Reporters Without Borders, Orbán has used media buyouts by govt-connected “oligarchs” to build “a true media empire subject to his party’s orders.” The group estimates that such buyouts have given Orbán’s party control of some 80% of Hungary’s media market resources."

I just saw "you confusing, you the math quiz"

Iowa recently shuttered it program in African American Studies, during Black History Month, no less, and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department. A university interested in intellectual freedom doesn’t shutter the very departments that emerged in response to movements for broader inclusion in mainstream American life.

Claiming to value "intellecutal freedom" while shutting down African American and Women's Studies reinforces the fact that the center is an authoritarian project, not a sincere attempt to expand intellectual life.
