Hegseth is so committed to bigotry that he forced the secretary of the Army, Gen. Randy George, to retire in the middle of the Trump regimeās bloodthirsty bombing campaign in Iran, reportedly because George pushed back on the decision to eliminate women and Black people from promotion consideration.

Even before Hegseth began publicly asking his God to give troops power to commit āoverwhelming violence,ā he showed himself as a segregationist intent on bringing the military back to 1948, before it was integrated by Truman my latest for

semi-unrelated, but it is frightening what the women in this family have done to themselves. saw a photo of khloe recently and the only reason I knew it was her was because of the caption. iām sad for the young women and girls who see them and think they have to do the same š

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But weāve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from AnaĆÆs Ninās diary from 1939-1944: āAmerica is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminalsā.
