Obama: "As algorithms keep feeding us a steady stream of distraction and outrage, as only the loudest most extreme voices get attention, fanning our prejudices, appealing to our basest most tribal instincts, it's tempting to give in to cynicism and even despair, to stop trying."

[CHUCK INGLISH said it. @Chuckisdope]

“It’s time to wake the fuck up”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

I know people don’t want to make the connection, but being defiant and unapologetic in the face of clearly doing some shit that is wrong is a direct result of the last decade of political climate.

One of the most corrosive impacts of the Trump presidency is this normalization, and frankly cheerleading, of downright depravity among Trump’s enablers. This daily desecration of the office is a disgrace. The president is supposed to be the best of us, not the absolute worst.

White ppl don’t want Black ppl in their spaces but get mad when we create our own. Y’all are insufferable.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

The evaporation of critical thinking among the American people is truly shocking. How our nation substituted going to the library and reading books, valuing our Western traditions going back to Plato and Aristotle and replacing it all with mediocre conspiracy InfoWars, Joe Rogan podcasts, or Fox News evening Murdoch media so obviously intended to create a new generation of billionaires at their expense, I mean I get it, but I never thought the American people could be this gullible or susceptible

[GLOBE-IS-BACK @yallhellalame]

These racist muthafuckas will literally yell and scream for their favorite black athlete every Sunday, Monday and Thursday night then go right back to being bigots the rest of the week 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s a mental illness

[Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora]

Wealthy white guy who benefitted directly from primarily black men manning the most dangerous positions so he could make millions kicking a football has no problem with white QB backing a racist, fascist, criminal scumbag but the black guy is the problem. MAGA is systemic racism

somewhere out there, theres a dude making 45k a year and he absolutely believes this nonsense down to the bone

[Luke Savage @LukewSavage]

You see recurrent versions of this everywhere, i.e. the idea people get more conservative as they get older. This is broadly true of exactly one generation blessed to grow up with shared prosperity and a welfare state that then decided no one else deserved those things.
