This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Continuing our string of "shitty things the Dodgers are doing but which you wouldn't know about if you only read baseball media, which is largely ignoring it": team security told a fan on Saturday that he could not wear a serape scarf into the stadium because, according to them, it was offensive.

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Can't help but think that there are Kyle Rittenhouses all over America tonight, loading up their guns and ammo, making sure their mom can drive them to a protest where they can cosplay a police officer and, well, you know the rest.

Just so those of you outside of California know, the little red circle is the area that the National Guard and Marines are there protecting. There’s 5 times more troops then protesters. This is unacceptable

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

It cracks me up how never trump republicans beat their chest and bleat about nonsense and they think folks are supposed to listen to them. My good bitch, you voted for Reagan and two Bushes. You don't get to speak. You helped this country get to where we are. So I beg of you: Shut it.

Ah yes, send armed militants to attack your own citizens. That will surely get your country to respect you.

Protecting our neighbors is how we build community TRUST. Nobody trusts the state, and with good reason. All we have is one another.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Courage knows no label. Mark’s bravery reminds us that heroism comes in all forms, and that true patriotism is defined by action, not identity. Let his legacy forever stand as proof that love of country, selflessness, and heroism belong to everyone. 🕊️🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

My faith is deeply important to me – it calls me to honor the dignity of every person through love and action. But I also believe in the importance of pluralism, and that we are stronger when we honor the experiences and values of everyone, whether they have a faith or spiritual practice or not.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

By firing IRS auditors who went after wealthy tax cheats, Elon Musk's DOGE could cost up to $323 billion in tax revenue over the next 10 years. It was never about being efficient or effective. www.cbsnews.com/news/irs-dog...

The slow death of American higher education. Nobody’s going to travel to study there. The best research will no longer be done there. The best research academics will eventually leave.
