Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

What is "trans ideology"? Is it that trans people exist? Is believing in the sun a form of "sun ideology"? Because trans people existing is a fact as clear and "scientific" as the sun existing.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, the "world’s coolest dictator," has offered to take US citizens doing time, and to house them in his super jail - for a fee. Marco Rubio thinks it's a great idea. But what if you’re breaking the law, Marco, and end up behind bars? Be careful what you wish for.

Don't see why Canadian politicos should be in any rush to get a "deal" with Trump. He's rude and unreliable. The tariffs are illegal under the USMCA. Who's to say he'll abide by future agreements? Let's see what it feels like to proceed with calm strength, and not flip every time he jerks us around.

The present reality is too much for many people. Remember, avoidance is a form of coping, not a moral failing. However, ultimately it’s not the easiest or most advisable approach, given that it provides little growth or satisfaction.

Flannery O'Connor: "The truth doesn't change according to our ability to stomach it." This the problem with some contemporary psychotherapies that emphasize mindfulness and resilience – the stressor (capitalism) isn’t addressed, and mental states are on the defensive, requiring constant adaptation.
