There's something to be said for Testimonial injustice as it applies to intersections of privilege as well as oppression. White men, for example, are granted an almost automatic status of "knower" by their privilege, while a disabled woman is disbelieved about her experience of her own symptoms

The revolution won't be televised but the president will admit to war crimes on social media
Trump doesn't negotiate. He has no idea how. Instead, he threatens and bullies. When he doesn't get his way he behaves like a toddler screaming "well I didn't want to play your dumb game anyway" before melting into a tantrum. Unlike a toddler, however, he threatens war crimes and has nuclear codes.
To all women who are stuck in abusive relationships with a person who relies on alcohol as a crutch, I'm sorry Now would be a good time to get ready to leave. Resources are available for you
Mississippi’s only alcohol warehouse shut down for what was supposed to be a two-week inventory. The liquor hasn’t flowed right since and business owners say they are in a state of emergency.

I'm gonna need all my theater friends in New York to plaster the stonewall monument with pride flags We will not be erased
A large Pride flag has been removed from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, weeks after the Department of the Interior issued federal guidance on displaying “non-agency” flags in the National Park System.
Trump hired Noem whose initials spell KLAN IT'S LITERALLY NAZIS ALL THE WAY DOWN And yes, people who walk over a made up imaginary line should not be arrested and DEFINITELY shouldn't be shot
"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

NEW: Records also show DHS rushed Mobile Fortify out after abandoning its own facial-recognition oversight rules. Central privacy review was sidelined under orders from a Project 2025–linked former Heritage Foundation lawyer now serving as DHS chief privacy officer. www.wired.com/story/cbp-ic...
Unfortunately because of the way patriarchy works, no one centers women in a way that aims toward harm reduction and reform If they did, we wouldn't need the Epstein files and we'd have just believed women
But (as they agree) it’s as important to listen to those harmed by sexual abuse, to shift the conversation away from sensationalization and toward solutions that attend to the needs of survivors. msmagazine.com/2025/12/17/e...
I worked with someone at NYSE who would regularly go to the bar on the 5th floor and order their most complicated drink because he liked to "watch peons work hard for mere peanuts" I can 💯 guarantee that was not the worst thing he ever did. This kind of shit is a bellwether for vile behavior
I feel like someone’s gotta say something, so I guess it’s going to be me. I’m 100% certain that I either know, have met, or have sought meetings with people who have done horrible things in their lives, too. How about y’all? Association is not causation, and it's not guilt — of anything. (1/8)

That's the thing tho. All of this is what they meant to happen. It's not that we stumbled our way here. Corporations and the elite steered it here The proletariat has an unbelievably minute say in how infrastructure is built and how it is or isn't exploited We're here because they wanted us here
If anyone is woefully unequipped to rise to the moment, it's Chuck Schumer
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity. So pathetic and weak.
Here's my demands: 1. Abolish ice 2. Require background checks for ALL people acting in a law enforcement capacity 3. Ensure that no members of ice are allowed to work in a law enforcement capacity ever again 4. Prosecute Noem and Bovino for crimes against humanity
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...
