Words matter.

Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

Two Minutes Hate - 1984 The speeches of Donald Trump, JD Vance, Steve Miller and Pete Hegseth at the "funeral" of Charlie Kirk remembered me of this scene...

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

I knew more than I wish I had about what Kirk stood for, but some of the quotes in this piece were still shocking in how vile they were.

Best thing I've ever read about AI and the academy - every line a banger

The UN just concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza in a groundbreaking new report, comparing it with the genocide in Rwanda. Watch this video with @premthakker.bsky.social who asked the American admin the same question, 30 years later: youtube.com/shorts/wymbK...

Adolescence was brilliant. Well deserved.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

President Trump's detention and deportation machine has received $170 billion more to send masked agents into our communities and detain record numbers of immigrants. Tell your members of Congress: Protect our neighborhoods and support a pathway to citizenship.

The Right Wants a Reichstag Fire   The military patrolling in the streets, an assassination, and a movement longing for escalation. America is teetering on the brink. Some thoughts from my new piece:

"There’s a real rewriting of history going on. It’s what far-right regimes do after tragedies like this: They try and weaponize them to go after their enemies."

Videogames get blamed for everything.

EVERYONE STOP cheese wheel of cheeses

Department of... Defense : War State : Deals Justice : Police Education : Bible Study Health and Human Services: Protein Treasury: Presidential Bank Account Interior : Oil and Coal Labor : Slavery Agriculture : Brawndo, it's what plants crave

Is "Department of War" so honest that it's actually Orwellian?

Words matter. It's telling that a movement so obsessed with fighting back against pronouns, education, and "wokeness" is renaming everything they can get their hands on after war, Confederate generals, and rapists.

This made my day.

After a five-day halt due to a lack of supplies, our team at WCK’s Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen has resumed limited hot meal service in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)

On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. Now, their stories will begin to be told. Starting here 👇

BREAKING NEWS: Trump's government just approved Paramount's merger with Skydance. Sure looks like they paid Donald Trump $36 MILLION for this merger. Bribery is illegal no matter who is president.

Kharkiv, after today's russian attack by Reuters

Cap executive compensation.

U.S.-funded contraceptives worth nearly $10 million are being sent to France from Belgium to be incinerated, after Washington rejected offers from the UN and family planning organizations to buy or ship the supplies to poor nations.

“If every single immigrant who has a baby in the U.S. has to sue to obtain citizenship, we are happy to create an army of lawyers to represent those people," Mr. DiBianco said obvi they shouldnt have to but I really appreciate people whose response to hurdles is, aight bet, watch me clear that shit
