The books await...

A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

By overwhelming margins, Democratic voters support sanctions on Israel like those the US imposed on apartheid South Africa to bring freedom and democracy to that nation.

The US should do the same for Palestinian freedom.

Netanyahu is a war criminal wanted for starving millions of Palestinians.

Since warrants for his arrest were issued, he’s visited the US seven times, and been welcomed into the White House and halls of Congress.

US law requires arresting those suspected of committing genocide.

Maybe it’s because of my field but I really want El-Sayed to win because we really need strong voices for public health in Congress

"This is an EXTREME example and probably going a bit too far"

Not an extreme example. You didn't go too far.

A symbol may have been benign in the past, but once fascists have co-opted it to advance genocide, that symbol can never be viewed in the same way again. And that's the correct response.

“Sure Jews and Muslims will be upset when they see the Jerusalem cross but they need to stop being so emotional. Will no one think of the Christians????”

The symbol's origin has commonly been associated with Godfrey of Bouillon, a leader of the First Crusade-launched in 1095 and ended in 1099—who was the first ruler (1099-1100) of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. According to a popular account, the symbol appeared on the papal banner given by Pope Urban II to the members of the First Crusade. A

Folks in my mentions trying to whitewash this symbol. Maybe it is harmless for some people - but it’s not universally harmless. And if you’re stepping in to a major political stage you HAVE to consider how it’s going to make non-Christians feel.

The Jerusalem Cross is a symbol of the Crusades. Disingenuous people argue it’s “just a representation of Christianity and not bigoted”

But we all fucking know the Crusades was about massacring anyone that wasn’t Christian.

Pete Hegseth has a HUGE one tattooed on his chest

It’s a symbol of hate.

I know it's a lost cause to try and correct people but whenever someone says "they were out there protesting Israel on Oct 8th before they even responded to Oct 7th" you need to remember that Israel actually already bombing Gaza within 5 hours of the initial incursions beyond the border fence.

Would be funny if the first Dem Senator I ever have is Talarico

Maybe just maybe if the international community developed half an iota of spine and imposed the basic kind of consequences onto Israel then this level of impunity would not have developed and perhaps then those concerned about antisemitism wouldn't have to contend with these daily images.

Like calling inmates “people deprived of liberty” is meaningless when prison cells meant for 4 people are cramped with 20 people

I think the only place where this is a valid criticism is probably the Philippines

We use a lot of advocacy speak in our public policy (which is great!) but we really need to improve on the material conditions

the most basic trait of a good politician is being able to see where the ball is going and this ain't that

I’ve heard “people deprived of liberty”’more but “justice involved population” is so vague like shouldn’t we all involved in justice?

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

what do we do with the influencers who work in bullshit email jobs though

marx is rolling in his grave when i say this but

you don’t have to like your job, guys, just like the life that it pays for. we need more bullshit email jobs that pay well

A screenshot of a MENA Visuals post reading "A surreal monument in Baghdad, Iraq featuring a five-armed giant struggling to hold up a massive, toppling ancient cynlinder seal" with a photo of same. The RT reads "How it feels being the one scribe keeping the whole ziggurat afloat"

Speaking as an outsider because I've never had an office job, I do wonder if admin etc workers could do with a bit of romanticism about their jobs. You're descended from the ziggurat scribe-priests of Ur! Your people literally invented money!

email jobs and the existence of hr are a vast achievement of human civilization and the weird masculinity/leftist discourse about them is actively poisonous and reactionary

We Need Fewer Influencers and More Bullshit E-mail Jobs We need Directors of Manual Automation Sales Development who roll up their sleeves and type one singular e-mail every day in which they pass off their work to a different department.
