The correct response.

I do wish the media would stop showing the snuff film of 11 deaths at sea. @msnbc.com

The thing about RFK that gets me is that there really isn't a historical analog. Even among genocidaires and mass murderers, I don't think there's ever been anyone as generally anti-life and anti-human as Kennedy, and I'm not sure anyone ever has or will match his ultimate death toll

For some reason, I’m reminded of this odd saying today. “Il Duce ha sempre ragione”

Ask yourselves what purpose this serves. What was the motivation? Who was this harming? Who was offended? Refuse to give hate a home.

Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

This is an astounding statement from such a serious voice.

Given the overt attempts to erase certain histories from public spaces...well, I hope people are taking steps to preserve their local knowledge. You can write books that are not for public consumption, that chronicle your specific family or village history. You can keep your own archives.

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

When you strip away humanity

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

dailyprogress.com/eedition/pag... Quite a remarkable position regarding a Virginia constitutional amendment enshrining the right to marriage for all: “It doesn't provide protection for people who sincerely don't agree with gay marriage.” From what do they need protecting? What dangers await them?

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

My goodness, it so is. Never forget indeed.

"[F]or political reasons, the Trump administration has decided to play in that space, that is, to charge and indict people whom it does not reasonably expect to convict. The criminal justice process, even without a conviction, is a special kind of punishment," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org

For those who came before and gave of their futures so that we may live in freedom. #DDay

🚨NEW: VoteVets slams decision to strip Harvey Milk’s name from Navy ship. “This isn’t just offensive—it’s a calculated act of disrespect.” It's not about tradition. It’s about forcing out those who don’t fit Hegseth’s 1980s action figure fantasy of service. FULL STATEMENT ⬇️

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

To hate another human being for their gender identity or sexual orientation is the marker of someone whose humanity is fundamentally broken.
