They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

IMO if you consider the exchange here, you will see that I, the leftist, am a common sense moderate who believes in popular beliefs like "killing innocent humans is bad" and that popularist triangulation can lead to amoral extremism.

Oh my god these people have gotten so brain rotten by R propaganda that they no longer understand basic points of civics that a Fifth Grader could easily grasp

Trump and Musk are about to give refugee status to 60 white South Africans — who do not need it — while Trump locks up and deports refugees here who face genuine dangers in other countries. This is the sick global apartheid policy being adopted by this lawless administration.

"Before the first Trump administration, refugee resettlement took an average of 18 to 24 months...The Afrikaners, however, had to wait no more than three months." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/w...

Donald Trump can still become pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.

Should go without saying, but this is indefensible, full stop. All the arguments defending it amount to collective punishment. Nothing, nothing, nothing can justify this, ever, anywhere, at all.

Trump's US Attorney in DC, Ed Martin, has been making it a thing to send threatening letters to anyone Trump wants threatened: Georgetown, medical journals, congressmen who criticize him. But I realized I could send Ed Martin a letter, too! So here is the letter I am sending Ed Martin tomorrow:

Unbelievable.

“Besides murdering his wife, many of my client’s actions have been legal. He drove to the gun store. He purchased a gun. He waited the legally prescribed amount of time. He then bought bullets from WalMart…legally! He then shot his wife. This trial is nothing more than a witch hunt. Not guilty!”

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

RFK Jr. is ending the federal Narcan distribution program credited with the recent steep decline in overdose deaths. This despite his own past heroin addiction and his own brother dying of a drug overdose in 1984.

“The new charge would be a class B misdemeanor and apply if someone wears a mask or covers their face with the intent of concealing their identity while committing a class A misdemeanor or felony or immediately fleeing the scene” They’re, of course, hanging this on Jews (WHO DO NOT WANT THIS)

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.
