Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

very notable how Fox turns every antisemitic act of violence into a way to push for Ilhan Omar's expulsion from Congress

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

The man on the left is defending his nation's capital. The man on the right plotted an attack on his.

WTF?

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

"I voted for the guy who said he was gonna use the power of the state to deport more people than anyone before him, out of unconcealed racial animus and fear. How could I possibly have known he was actually going to do it?" This is dumb and talking about it is dumb.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Sooooooo. Donald Trump gave Peter Thiel and Palantir a massive contract for mass surveillance of all of us with our data that Elon Musk stole with DOGE? And all those “big brother” screeching MAGA folks are rolling over and taking it? 🙄

Flood the line.

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office — @RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.” BASH: “What does that mean?”

Cry me a river.

Karoline Leavitt said the Trump regime is pushing for the trades while defunding Harvard. Now, they’re defunding Job Corps. They aren’t advocating for trades people. They want uneducated folks with no skills to work for any wage and any condition www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

Violence against Jewish marchers, is a threat to violence against all of us. We must end this violence before it becomes accepted against countless men, women, and children. In addition to thoughts and prayers, we must take action to defend and protect all peaceful protesters.

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.

FUN FACT: Lindsey Graham can't swim, but over half the male sex workers he hires can.

Another Putin lover having a bad day.

It's obvious that Trump hand-picked these rotting pieces of fruit from the Dipshit Tree. He can't have anyone around him who he feels is smarter and more talented than he is. He's a special boy. 😆

Looks like the word processors I sold in 1980.

Amazing reporting here on how things have backfired on the capitulating law firms and their enabler. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
