No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

I reject fatalism [a form of moral disengagement]. What happens next is not predetermined and depends in part on us.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Oh my

Graphic for congressional candidate Bethany Andres‑Beck. Top: campaign logo reads “Bethany ANDRES‑BECK for CONGRESS” in white on a navy‑blue background. An orange quotation‑mark graphic frames the candidate’s statement in white and orange text. The statement is identical to the image's caption. The quote is attributed to “ Bethany Andres‑Beck, Candidate for MA‑06.” In the bottom-right quadrant is a photo of Bethany Andres‑Beck, a person with short hair and beard, round glasses, teal T‑shirt under an unbuttoned gray chambray shirt, standing with arms folded and a slight smile. The link to the campaign website “bethfordemocracy.com” is in orange in the bottom left of the image.

I am running for Congress to fight for our country. I’m not here to be polite – I am here to stand up for the working class. Together we’ll prove what should’ve been obvious all along: trans people aren’t political props - we’re leaders.

What’s really going on in Texas? I give you Rep. Jolanda Jones in two parts speaking from temporary exile while they deny a quorum to state Republicans. She lays out every bit of it out - chapter and verse. These Texas Dems are the real deal. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social
Here’s Part 1:

This is exactly the kind of energy we need from Democrats on all levels of government. Democratic governors and legislators need to make it clear that if Republicans redraw maps to rig the system, blue states will respond: www.bluestatedefiance.org/redistrictin...

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

This is absolutely ridiculous. You are running a fundraiser for THE TREVOR PROJECT and decide to make it Harry Potter focused? Absolutely disgusting. @humblebundle.com should be ashamed.

You can't reclaim this brand. Fan works aren't exempt. It's all poisoned down to its core. Just vile work here.

This AI video of Jesus and a little boy singing Bless the Lord Oh My Soul, while Jesus holds a disembodied child’s foot is so beautiful and spiritually inspiring.

Target meeting with Al Sharpton, the CBC, Keith Lee, Tabitha Brown, Reesa Teesa, and checking in with J Prince but has yet to try reinstating it's DEI policies and bringing back the Black businesses they cut from their vendor lists. The very definition of playing in our faces.

It has become very clear to me over the past few years that a lot of (mostly white) people in "blue" states care about gerrymandering and voter suppression when they fear it is starting to impact THEM, an ironic state of affairs all things considered. lol

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Imma add .. WHITE liberal women dare conservative men because they think it’s not that big a deal
And that they can use his privilege to silence anybody who class them on it it’s not neutral

I’m going to hold your hand while I say this:

If a guy’s dating profile says he’s not political or prefers not to say, he voted for Trump.

If it says he prefers not to say in vax status, he’s unvaccinated.

HTH

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

'There Is No Intel': Trump's Attacks on Iran Were Based on Vibes, Sources Say Trump’s decision to strike three Iranian nuclear facilities was not based on new intelligence, administration officials say.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

A reddit post: "Why does my erotica writing AI keep defaulting to yoga and gratitude?" Text: I’m trying to write steamy romance, not a self-help book on conscious breathing. Every time the story’s about to get physical, the AI derails into something like: “They paused to reflect on their emotional journey and honor the connection between their bodies.” Like… NO. That’s not what we were building up to. Yesterday, the characters stopped mid flirt to recommend deep breathing exercises and partner yoga. It’s like the AI turns into a wellness coach the moment the tension peaks. Anyone else run into this? How do you keep the AI from shifting tone so hard? Looking for tools or strategies that actually let the heat build without detouring through a spiritual retreat.
