Mayor Baraka was ARRESTED for doing what Republicans claim to care about: OVERSIGHT. Like the true leaders they are, Rep. Coleman, @replamonica.bsky.social, & @menendez.house.gov were right there with him. The Trump admin keeps weaponizing power against anyone who dares hold them accountable.

I worried that Trump was lying about an India-Pakistan ceasefire—it sucks that no one can trust what the White House says unless it’s confirmed by others—but it turns out he was just lying about US involvement.

Yes, they are. Every person who worked on that video is a bigot who should be publicly named, shamed, fired from their jobs, and blacklisted from tee teeing civilized society. BPD doesn’t turn people into Nazis. They do that all on their own.

“Netanyahu has made this overambitious promise—of “absolute” triumph over Hamas—since early in the war, and has repeatedly said that it is around the corner. But total victory is a chimera. Reoccupying larger chunks of Gaza is unlikely to eliminate Hamas.”

Claiming veganism is the healthiest way to eat is weird. Saying you can be perfectly healthy eating vegan is sound. Like, eating raw is terrible for you but cooking dried beans is a godsend. And FORTIFIED soymilk has all the same vitamins and minerals as dairy milk, but without the raping cows.

Remember when Stephen Amell tried to slut shame Miley Cyrus when she was dating Patrick Schwarzenegger because she was a "sexualized Velociraptor"? Same guy who often went full frontal on HBO? His hypocrisy hasn't changed I see going full in against the writer's strike. Scab.
