I’m So Used to Gay Tragedies That I Almost Missed Romance

Wonderfully written. Here’s a gift link.

Quick note: I'm traveling through Saturday, but I've read the FBI interviews with the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child. Significant redactions (and redacted dates for some reason?) and these aren't original FBI case files. We don't know what else is in her file

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

I am old enough to remember waiting in line for house in my mother's stationwagon to fill the tank.

It will be a lot less normal now.

Trump timed his Truth Social post so that Noem wouldn't know as she started speaking at this meeting, didn't he

WHOA. Camp East Montana in El Paso opened in August and quickly became the deadliest ICE facility, with infamously terrible conditions.

Now ICE is closing it, just as they plan to open up a detention camp nearly three times larger in a converted warehouse just outside El Paso.

Starting this war was so stupid.

You don’t say.

Trump had two things going for him: the Dow and gas prices. Fixed that!

These folks need to hear from you yesterday 👇

You all say Donald Trump is anti-immigrant, but did you know his wife is an immigrant? *drops mic, saunters triumphantly back into the Nazi bar*

A vote to fund the war is a vote for the war. Full stop.

Pay no attention to the torture and rape and murder administration in the room.

Drug cartels, well-known for their Marxian tendencies.

Much like Hegseth, this man is making his own evidence for his war crimes trial.

The verbal diarrhea that is subbing in for wholesale oral redrafting of the Constitution these past few days is giving me a headache.

A word.

Former human rights lawyer here. The whole point of human rights is that they belong to every single human being.

This kind of thing is actually something I’m very glad to see. We need dual power systems when it comes to medical care in this country and we need them immediately until we can get fully socialized medicine.
