Relatedly, Trump and MAGA fully grasp that their longer term success will depend on our willingness to move on from everything they've done to our country, and directly to us. Musk as well. There cannot be any forgetting. www.offmessage.net/p/detrumpifi...

We relied on @bentarnoff.com's great new book with @quinnslobodian.com for this piece. We try to offer a real theory on what Musk really means in decrying "suicidal empathy." We argue that his gutting of USAID (also justified by denigrating "empathy") is a test run for much worse to come:

I believe @samadlerbell.bsky.social wrote somewhere that disposing of the global poor will be at the center of the fascist ideologies of the future. What we argue here is that Musk's descimation of USAID, justified by decrying "civilizational suicidal empathy," is a kind of dry run for that future:

America's gun psychopathy continues: *227* mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔 😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest, with 5 people wounded, at a teen house party in Lithonia, Ga.: www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2026/06/16/s...

Another senseless killing by a police officer. “Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car,” Crump said in a statement Tuesday. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/nationa...

Wow, Iran won. We expected it, but seeing the agreement, it's still shocking. Sanctions lifted? Blockade lifted? $300 billion in reparations? Status quo regarding Iran's nuclear program, i.e. the same promises? After 60 days, possible admission fees at the Strait of Hormuz? C'mon, impeach him.

Doesn't sound like America made a great deal.

it’s genuinely so cruel that Woody Allen and Roman Polanski have lived into their 90s without facing any significant consequences

@mark-carney.bsky.social “Israel poisoned the land in Lebanon, just as it did with the water wells in Palestine, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention. Israel sprayed toxic and carcinogenic chemicals all over Lebanese agricultural land. This is a war crime and an act of genocide.” M. Safa

We should ban all foreign countries from interfering in our elections why do we allow it? 🤨it's not in our national interest that's for sure Israel is not our ally they are our manipulator that's the reality a genocidal rogue war criminal regime is manipulating us into giving them our tax dollars👿

A US citizen was unjustly detained for two hours without explanation in Maryland during which ICE goons took his phone and wallet after which they then outrageously asked him to show his identification which he tried to explain they had already taken. He was also refused to make a phone call to help

FIFA decided to take no action against Israel. President said "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues." FIFA has and still bans Russia. FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

It's notable that none of them seem to be stunned at how little Trump knows about what's going on. Like Donald was almost irrelevant.

Earlier today people assembled at the Georgia state capitol to oppose rare special session on redistricting. This is the same state trying to gut the voting rights act. The attacks against our civil liberties continue to ramp up as we approach the mid term elections Credits: @contrarianthinking

This is great, now tell the Gov to end data center tax breaks.

In the wake of the disastrous Dobbs decision, Virginia is continuing to affirm our place as the reproductive healthcare safe haven of the South. (2/2)

After years of vetoes, the Right to Contraception Act and Contraceptive Equity Act were signed today by Governor Abigail Spanberger. Virginians will now be able to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions without the interference of politicians. (1/2)

Going to sleep content with the knowledge that because I care about people and people care about me, my life is more meaningful and satisfying than Jeff Bezos’s, by orders of magnitude.

"Amazon founder Jeff Bezos called the Washington Post his worst investment in a conversation with Trump months before gutting the newsroom. 'The people there are terrible,' Bezos told Trump. 'They don’t listen. My other companies, they listen.'” He means 'obey'. nypost.com/2026/06/17/u...

Also this basically confirms my theory I talked about on @pastduepodcast.com and @halftheanswer.bsky.social — he decided to murder WaPo in 2023 because he couldn’t handle employees who organized. A sad little man. bsky.app/profile/chri...

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

This is part of what I have known all along. It is nice to finally have it begin to seep into the general conversation. This is why the Abraham Accords were NOTHING more than business deals. youtube.com/shorts/9aqvE...

EXACTLY. I’ve said this a million times but I and the rest of the Broadview 6 are still picking up the pieces of our lives emotionally and financially. This is incredibly stressful in every way possible, and there is no guarantee for a just outcome.

Oh and Hong Kong's first woman head of government also purged the city of most direct elections, opposition parties, independent press, bookstores, and Tiananmen massacre memorials.

I find it beautiful that both Japan and Peru finally elected their first women heads of government, and they elected a lady who wrote the recommendation and preface for a book defending Mein Kampf and Hitler's electoral strategy, and the daughter of a dictator who fled to Japan when he was toppled

We're bringing the Knicks Championship Parade to the people — no matter where you are. Watch live at nyc.gov/knicks or on the NYC Mayor's Office YouTube, X, and Facebook at 10AM EST tomorrow. Stick around for the City Hall Ceremony following the parade.

Great that within the last 24 hours we've seen a brace from M'Bappe, a brace from Haaland, a hat trick from Messi and also there was Ronaldo.

I see Netanyahu didn’t get the MOU.

This is inhumane and disgusting. We are talking about already traumatised and vulnerable individuals, including women and children. This is what the UK is funding. This is what happens when policies are based on cruelty and xenophobia, and Labour are pushing them. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Sucks to realize “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” meant Trump, not Iran.
