@profgalloway.com absolutely disgusting interview of El Sayed. You don’t get to define genocide - it’s a legal definition and Israel is guilty. And suggesting that criticizing Israel for conducting a genocide is arguing for a genocide against Israel’s is not only totally incorrect, but disgusting

They’ll be even more surprised to find that the reason he got elected was because a lot of people loved his racist dog whistles

Thanks for this story. It’s easy to trash others when you are anonymous. Now everyone who reads this article knows who Kamran Ahmed, Brendan Pitfield & Jacob Gomberg are—men charged with cyber sexual harassment who might not be great choices for employers hiring summer interns or permanent employees

"it's racist to attempt to give poor Black people permanent health insurance" is a novel argument, I'll give you that. if only a variation on the tiresome neoliberal habit of defending the status quo by hiding behind an imagined minority

I would give Andy Goldsworthy the budget of a Mr. Beast project and commission an installation in all 50 states. Statistically speaking most of them would come together beautifully at this point in his career but there would still be some catastrophes, and there’s your documentary

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Fairmount cannot function as both a park and an urban highway. Turn Belmont into winding gravel paths with no through-access or people will keep dying.
