you have to be so far gone to look at a baby and think your task is to hurt her. your people have to be so far gone for dozens of them, down a chain of custody, to look at a baby and think your task is to hurt her.

I'm sorry, I know you all know this is a baby. I just can't

this is a BABY

yes. we have to at least try and live up to their hearts.

THE PEOPLE!
UNITED!
WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

I’m in upstate New York right now, and it’s really fucking cold, but it’s still somehow fifteen degrees warmer than it is in Minnesota. I am so moved by this.

This is a stirring rebuke to the part of the American government and the American electorate that has chosen to scorn and reject basic human decency. Never forget, never forgive.

Philadelphia sues the Trump administration over the removal of museum exhibits referencing slavery.

It’s my favorite. I love how it invokes a willful emptiness

Is that better

the vice president carries himself like a man who’s never known true peace

I will say something constructive and analyticsorry

this preening little dingdong

man. not just the horror of this, but also the little girl immediately thinking of her friends.

The Stories that Will Drive the UN Agenda in 2026 | Plus, Can Trump's Podcast Episode · To Save Us From Hell · 01/23/2026 · 21m

this week, we take a look at the year ahead for the UN, including how its humanitarian work might up fundamentally transformed by funding imperatives, consider the weirdo board of peace, and wonder if Mark Carney invoking the fiction of liberal internationalism means he listened to our last episode

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Yes, exactly this. If you just caught sight of him randomly on his way to school or at the grocery store, that little bunny hat would make you smile, and then smile at him. In this context, it’s like a dagger

a row of sesame street puppets are lined up on a wall Alt: Row after stacked row of muppets in brightly colored, brightly lit arched windows. The muppets are swaying from one side of their arches to the other as the lights flash. There are columns between the arches and border above each. The top windows are smaller than the bottom ones, and the muppets at the top are smaller than the muppets at the bottom, indicating a perspective where we’re looking up a facade instead of straight at a flat surface.

who needs a board of peace when you could embrace a tableau of chaos

My uncle is partially paralyzed from contracting polio as a child, and that was a lucky outcome for him. He’s not that old. It’s hard to imagine how villainous you have to be to laughingly reinvigorate that plague,

these photos really broke me. I know he’s not the only one they’ve taken and that just makes them even more devastating

I’ve been thinking about this little one all day. How excited he must have been to get that hat. How someone helped him find a backpack he’d like. All the tiny markers of care and gentleness that mean nothing to these men, who stole him and scared him and used him as bait and incarcerated him

how can you not!
