I'm not enjoying the reboot of the "Unprovoked War in the Middle East" reality TV show.

It's just as pointless, but the actors are even stupider. And, frankly, I didn't think that would be possible.

Seat Fillers Needed - June 14th - Constitution Avenue - DC - talent gigs - craigslist T-Mellon Events is looking for seat fillers and extras to provide their time for space maximization and attendance perception for an event taking place in Washington DC on June 14th. Extras and Seat.....

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

Seconded but also I'm not sure I remember the Last Normal Time. Maybe 1999 and/or 2013 or thereabouts? It's been so long...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

In Trump’s America, unless you’re a “real American” — ultra-white, blue-eyed, tattooed with eagles, waving flags from lifted trucks, and sitting on inherited wealth — your citizenship is negotiable. The rest? Expendable at whim.

Justice Sotomayor with a bone-chilling dissent today: “The implication of the govt’s position is noncitizens AND US citizens could be taken off streets, forced onto planes, confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress…This Nation's laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.

This is the best take I've seen on the immediate political impact of Hands Off. A lot of people in power thought "roll over and play dead" was a smart safe strategy. They can either catch up or be left behind.

Here’s how to stay in the fight:

📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials daily.

🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.

🚫 Boycott evil corporations.

🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.

🌳 Build community power.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead. No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

#CallItACoup It's NOT an "administration"; it's a REGIME.

Urge all media to call Trump’s REGIME exactly what it is: a COUP. The media has a history of downplaying authoritarian takeovers with soft language. Time to force them to be honest. Send daily emails/letters/postcards to all media outlets.
