We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Ready for today’s protest! @meidastouch.com #RageAgainstTheRegime #xFiles #Epstein

The “if you’re seeing this we’ve been kidnapped” messages from the volunteers on the Madleen Freedom Flotilla have been sent out. They were carrying nothing but HUMANITARIAN AID TO THE PEOPLE OF GAZA AND PALESTINE. THIS IS A WAR CRIME.

I'm trying to figure what it says about me that I will never fail to be surprised at how low both the US and Israel can go. Possibly deploying Marines in CA, abducting the crew of the Madleen. My brain can never quite parse the depravity.

🚨🚨🚨 Madleen SILENCED.
Connection lost.
Israeli army has boarded the humanitarian ship.
An attack on humanity in real time.
The world must speak NOW.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

If you think the goal/inflection point is the midterms…start listening to the people—journalists, historians, nat sec experts—who say we do not have that time.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

Really hard to find hope in humanity when so many are so openly cruel yet they are cheered on for it. The devil's work of dehumanizing our fellow humans to normalize mass death and suffering has been wildly successful.

The world we inhabit today is one that is intolerable for those with empathy.

a sign of a healthy and functioning democracy is that i'm getting emails from my kids' schools assuring me that the teachers are dedicated to protecting my children against the federal government

Colombian President Gustavo Petro's full post ordering an increase of import tariffs on U.S. goods, says he doesn't really like traveling to the U.S. because it's “a bit boring” and invokes the ancestors

Whenever I start to feel anxious I immediately have another coffee and scroll through the worst news imaginable on my phone and omg it does not help at all

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

I know many people will post this or variations of this, but PLEASE spread these. The more people who post them, the more people will see them. PROTECT YOUR LATINX & HISPANIC NEIGHBORS. #politics #lamigra

First confirmed attempted I.C.E. school raid in Chicago. You’re a literal monster on this Earth if you are *still* standing with these people. I hope you are truly filled with deep regret and sorrow if you voted for this (or didn’t vote at all) #FDT #iceraid #chicago #protectourkids

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

Reading is so wild. Like, I’m simultaneously deciphering marks on a page and picturing the narrative those marks are conveying. I’m both in my body and also in the middle of the story. When I really think about it, I’m just so amazed that my brain can do all of that. Anyway! Carry on.

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

“Winter and displacement have taken a heavy toll.”

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says at least seven children died of cold in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect, amid a drop in temperatures and heavy rains.
