Listened to Anti Hero, now wondering if Taylor Swift has been listening in on my intrusive thoughts

Y'know except the part about having money

ethel cain on the election:

"if you voted for trump, i hope that peace never finds you. instead, i hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you've done and who you are as a person."

Take the time you need. Support each other. Find strength in community. Despair is the strength-sapper. We can't afford despair - we have work to do.

Love that moment in Lord of the Rings when Frodo sees flowers growing on the statue of an old king and says, “They cannot conquer forever.” Whatever comes, whatever fresh horrors tomorrow brings, a new day will come. Until then, we continue the fight.

Palestinians deserve the main stage, not another bomb.

Call Democratic leadership and urge them to apply pressure to #LetPalestineSpeak at the DNC.

I think a lot about something Baldwin said along the lines of “I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I can’t afford despair. You can’t tell people there’s no hope.”

[Abdullah H. Hammoud @AHammoudMI]

“They (Palestinian Americans) have heard their names mentioned fleetingly by a handful of speakers but have not been granted the right to speak their names themselves.” - Ta-Nehisi Coates on the DNC Convention

“How odd I find it that a people, presently brutalized by a similar system, whose relatives are being erased by that system’s wanton violence, are also being erased from the stage.”

Crucial reading from Ta-Nehisi Coates

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

A leading Israeli scholar describes "the utter inability of Israeli society today to feel any empathy for the population of Gaza. The majority, it seems, do not even want to know what is happening in Gaza, and this desire is reflected in TV coverage." https://t.co/TCDYcTdyJ4

It is not enough for Biden to sanction a few violent settlers. The entire settlement enterprise is illegal -- a war crime -- and should be sanctioned. https://t.co/6zFNucPkte

“The entire unjust world does not care about this. That’s all I can say.” Heartbreaking testimony in the wake of the killing of newborn twins and their mother in Gaza -- leaving behind a father whose world is shattered. Correspondent @JDiamond1 reports.

–US celebrates Geneva Convention then approves $20B weapons sale

@selinawangtv He really is just like us!!

[Jewish Voice for Peace Action @JvpAction]

As an elected official, Josh Shapiro has a damning history of smearing and attacking Palestinian rights advocates and free speech.

Opposition to choosing him as the VP candidate isn't about his identity, it's about his policies and rhetoric over the years. 🧵

[Let's emulate the epaulette shark 🦈 @Inisfreean]

@JvpAction @danpfeiffer @jonfavs you guys did not do your research before speaking about Shapiro on today's pod. I encourage you to do better going forward.

[Danielle Campoamor @DCampoamor]

Kelce, Mahomes & Reid are defending Harrison Butker, saying OK they don't agree w/him but he's just sharing his beliefs! Different opinions make this country great! For @MSNBC, I state the obvious: Not all beliefs are good & Butker's causes actual harm. https://t.co/THAida9yyy
