The conceit that people in the past were all dumb, gullible rubes to whom we are obviously & profoundly intellectually superior is a defining feature of our own era. It keeps us from grappling in a real way with deep questions about the nature of reality, esp. regarding religion.
BREAKING - A 28-year-old man was killed by a truck while fleeing immigration agents in St. Augustine, Florida this morning, officials said.
It is the 3rd death involving ICE in a week, after agents shot a man in Maine yesterday.

Emma Sulkowicz didn't carry a mattress around Columbia for a full academic year for you dummies to say millennial feminism was about forcing women to be sluts.
the language of affirmation and inclusion is failing us in this moment. trans people don’t need gender markers to “affirm” the gender we “identify as”. accurate sex/gender markers are needed for our protection, physical safety, and access to basic services and rights.
Man, the fact that the Dems are gonna bungle the upcoming election so badly is insane considering all they need to do is run on "I'll release and prosecute everyone in the Epstein Files" and "I'll defund and abolish ICE."
reminder: approximately two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants held in the “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE facility last summer are now missing on the public ICE locator tool.
They have been literally disappeared. poof.
Their loved ones have no way to track their whereabouts or wellbeing.
