Discourse, Drama, & Dunks. A queer podcast w/ absurdly deep dives on the internet outrage machine & the memes we made along the way. Most tweets by Easton.
Our first episode is live!
We set the stage for a 4-part deep dive into the confusing world of libertarian free speech ideology and debate culture on college campuses, and try to make sense of this mess.
The rabbit hole is as deep as this article is shallow.
I cannot stress how vital the work of food kitchens in Khartoum are in saving lives.
This is Juhayna, she arrived in Port Sudan recently coming from Khartoum. She’s showing clear signs of malnutrition, as evidenced by the comparison photo of how she looked like a year ago.
In all honesty, international aid groups have been very ineffective in meeting the needs of civilians in Sudan. There exists an uninterrupted supply line straight into Khartoum state, yet people in Khartoum (the capital) are starving!
Please support the vital work of the Khartoum Aid Kitchen initiative to help feed families by donating and sharing the gofundme 🙏🏻

City Of Dallas residents there is a local election on May 4th & early voting is going on until next Tue. The Stop Cop City coalition in Atlanta is still on the ground currently battling with the eminent construction. North Texas is a policed enough. We do not need this. #DFW#NTX
What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.
I spoke to Ansa Tabassum, the Muslim valedictorian who had her speech invitation revoked. USC had accommodated big names like Barack Obama and Milo Yiannopoulos before on campus. Why not for their very own student? Our interview https://t.co/OiwMrcMs1u
School absences have exploded
Per the NYT am email I still get from when I had the cheap subscription. I'm going to share so you too can have emotions today.
I am going to copy/paste that whole thing - request for full article gift in last tweet.
I did edit for char limits
@kate_the_purple@PodSaveAmerica & the fact that they'll then say "what you want Trump instead?" shows just how much they haven't been listening. Because yeah, at this point? At least under Trump there's some resistance to violence via war, border policing, endless covid infections etc. etc. etc.
