I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.
Sometimes that's all we can do. Treat each other like we are human, and in those moments, let that freedom be enough. So if you know any Hispanic people who are afraid right now, if you have treated them like they are human, you did something. You did something.
And the cop replied "I will tell her you love her." Two people, who shouldn't be seeing eye to eye, a cop and a lesbian woman, and in that moment, they were just two human beings trying to survive. And they treated each other like it. (3/x)
in need. He went to help her, there was gunfire, there were people being beaten, it was really crazy, and she said "are we going to die?" And the cop said "we're not gonna die." The woman replied "I'm a lesbian, my own family doesn't know. I have a wife, if I die, who will tell her I love her?" 2/x
A story that helps me when I feel overwhelmed happened during the Rodney King Riots. The police are normally not the good guys, but this one cop did something pretty cool: he was ordered to fall back, get out of the area seeing the most action, but he refused when he saw a woman bleeding and (1/×)
To a large degree, we sadly are. And that's just part of being alive and it sucks. 😔 But there only being so much we can do is not permission to refuse doing that which we can do. It's just not going to be super satisfying. But when everyone does what little they can, it adds up like crazy!
Actually it is. Sorry if this is upsetting to some.
I can't help anyone who is so indoctrinated that they really think the world is shitty because it has to be that way. It so clearly doesn't. We're not even talking about political activity in the world. We're talking a basic foundation to be able to say, this shit's not right, it could be better.
No… Tucker,
you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.
You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.
You can rot.
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
Conservatives are extremely miserable people. It's tragic.
And this is why they're are teaming up with christian nationalists to lead the charge in making sex a taboo again. Can't use enthusiastic, consenting sexual encounters between adults against us if we're all cool with it
I don't think USA will descend into civil war, I don't think USA will solve its problems w/violence. I think ppl will adapt and move on from what isn't sustainable. I think ppl will turn to community gardens and community housing. I think the transition will be a lot less violent than ppl fear.
Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.
I'm very proud of the world for calling my country out on its imperialist bullshit! Hell yeah! 🎯🔥
Stoooooop I can't breathe 😭
Make it make sense.
"We had a ceasefire before October 7th".
No, honey. You had no ceasefire since Zionism was invented, and you'll never have peace until Zionism is abolished.

Right? "Free markets" and we haven't even touched on sanctions yet
Hot hell wow!
“What side you standing on?”
The Strokes at Coachella 🔥
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for.

I’m always astonished at how they handwave the absurdity of their treatment of “natural law” as somehow a proscriptive legal statute that require cops to enforce.
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
