A grim reminder this 4th of July: The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on Earth, making it a leader in mass incarceration. Far too many people are locked up in the “land of the free.”

actually a lot of jews love zohran and hate ethnostates! can’t wait to vote for him
A synagogue giving a platform to Zohran Mamdani isn't inclusivity. It's insanity.

Some of us did. We were told to shut the fuck up and vote.
We were all so ready to kick Trump out in 2020 that none of us really took the time to focus on Joe Biden. The man is obscenely anti black. And Islamophobic. Also quite sexist.

The only "identity politics" here is the fact that yes, most of the people urging others to NEVER speak to law enforcement are white, because mostly white people get the chance to become immigrant defense lawyers and learn objectively how best to keep others as safe as they are.

Homeland Security are literally cops. "Police" aren't just the guys patrolling local neighborhoods: they include gun-carrying federal officers with the power to detain and harm people for made-up offenses. "DHS are not police" in that they're WORSE. Go split hairs elsewhere.

This interview was the first thing I read this morning, and the words "Sufjan Stevens is doing okay" have since become a quiet but reassuring chant in the background of all my thoughts. Sufjan Stevens is doing okay! Sufjan Stevens is doing okay!
I spoke to Sufjan Stevens on Good Friday about 'Carrie & Lowell' and recovery and whether or not, you know, we're all gonna die

Hard to overstate the impact of people with politics-free platforms, like Ms. Rachel, speaking out about Israel’s genocide on Gaza. Would’ve been so easy for her to not say anything.
"Our compassion doesn't have boundaries or borders. We just love kids." EXCLUSIVE: Beloved children's entertainer and educator Ms. Rachel opens up to @mehdirhasan about why she decided to speak out against Israel's war in Gaza and responds to the backlash she's received.

MAGA-ass tweet lmao
@romapancake lol you’re trying so hard to find reasons why Dubai is a bastion of human rights while the US is uniquely evil. The USA is a great place and we have so many freedoms compared to the Gulf, especially Dubai. They could have gotten married elsewhere. They’re rich fakers

What a great opportunity for a learning experience! 43.4% of federal inmates are, in fact, there for drug offenses, 7.5% for property offenses, 4.9% for "immigration." Homicides, assaults, kidnapping, sex crimes: just 16.9%. Thanks for "honestly asking"!
@romapancake What do you think prisoners are in prison for? Honestly asking? You think they’re all there for selling weed or whatever? You don’t realize almost all of them committed significant harm upon an individual over person? And you defend Dubai for their slave labor. Sickening.

It's 2025 and white liberals still can't grasp that "exotic" foreign countries known for human rights abuses are also home to millions of people living normal lives who aren't personally responsible for their nation's sins, and that they have normal relatives who visit sometimes.
@AdamMantine @ZohranKMamdani In other words, I think it's unreasonable to expect someone to boycott their own family because they live in a country with politics that they themselves disagree with. In other words, you're a hypocrite for condemning a Dubai wedding as if a US wedding would have been any better

For comparison, @nypost screeched about an Andrew Cuomo event at Cipriani Wall Street in 2017—AGAINST the activists protesting the actual decadence of a fundraiser held at a venue with marble columns and a minimum of $81,000 for 200 guests

It's wild to try to drag @ZohranKMamdani for having what looks like a fairly intimate reception in his wife's home country (so her family could be there!) and act like $72 per person is obscene decadence rather than a screaming deal compared to ANY old school New York venue

Zionists freaked out over this tweet because I said she was objectively safer with Palestinians than she was with her own people. Now she is repeating the same sentiment herself.
Mia Schem wept that the Palestinian men who held her hostage for 54 days never laid a hand on her. Months after her release, she was raped by her israeli personal trainer in her own home. She was objectively safer in Gaza than as a woman in “Israel.”
