reminder that whenever the gop complains about "censorship" what they always always mean is "you're making me feel bad about being a white supremacist." when they say that universities shouldn't be able to "indoctrinate" students, what they always always mean is "you shouldn't be able to tell people that white supremacy is bad." it is never a good faith argument and it should never be treated as such

In the gentle embrace of early spring light, Iwhere whispers of warmth dance through the air.

Sunbeams stretch like golden ribbons, weaving their way through the coolness, promising the joy of blooming flowers and laughter-filled days.

The earth awakens, soft and fragrant, as tiny green shoots push through the soil, eager for the sun's kiss. Here, in this moment, hope unfurls like petals, inviting me to dream of sunshine.

In the before-times America, any car that trapped passengers inside to be burnt alive would be yanked from the market and there would be a public uproar.

TSMC “is also making concessions to solidify its relationship with the United States government. This is extremely important to the firm's continued success. A threat has loomed for years that China may look to invade and take over Taiwan. This would have devastating effects on TSMC's business and stock.”

I guess the question I'd ask is, what are the most important things for Democrats to stop Trump and the Republicans from doing? And the question they're asking themselves is, what topics can we make a big deal about that will win an election in 2026 and 2028? And I guess those are two different questions.

These are dangerous times for everyone in and around the US, but many times more so for those without the protections of US citizenship. Those of us who are privileged enough to be able to speak freely and without the immediate threat of draconian consequences have a special obligation not to be silent right now.

A lot of people telling me I should be afraid and I should shut up.

Be afraid if you're afraid. Be silent if you don't feel comfortable speaking. I don't know your circumstances.

But if you think you will shut me up, you'll have to do better than that.
