This is why you don't praise a narcissist. Will Stancil has spent a decade hating on the people who built the networks to fight ICE today, showed up for a fight for the first time in his life, tells them what they're doing wrong and makes himself the face of a movement that's now kicked him out.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Found better data, posting this instead. Top 1%, .1% and .01%'s wealth share has grown significantly faster than everyone else's.

well it’s not true that wealth inequality has been getting uniformly worse over the past half-decade. but also inequality and overall welfare are separate. if I have a car and get another car, and rich people have five cars and get twenty more cars, I’m getting richer while they get richer faster

ANDOR SPOILERS: i really love that Luthen's backstory was a kind of mirror to Syril's. Both men were minor cogs in the Empire's apparatus of violence. Both wound up used to perpetrate genocide. Both chose to step away. The choices they made after that were wildly different.

Somebody mentioned in a reply on here that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch looks like Bib Fortuna and I can’t remember who, but know that your statement has wormed its way into my head and taken up residence.

Probably shouldn’t say kids and rawdogging in the same sentence when talking about the Catholic Church

CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

It is wild looking back at these 2016 articles and seeing watered-down versions of them now written by rich people who denigrated or even threatened me at the time. I spilled my blood and they peddle it as sangria.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

there are actual mildly annoying things that were pushed by liberal and progressive scolds and it's very funny that this guy can't even think of one of them and has to invent a situation no real person encountered

But for the “ordinary people with normal jobs” camp, the language absolutely changed and you had no say in it. You can check Zillow and Redfin right now- they do not have “master bedroom” anymore. Every homeowner had to update their language.
