Two things:

First, there's no reason we can't do all of the above.

Conservative men, who get INCREDIBLY FURIOUS if a Western Woman does anything outside of a kitchen, suddenly care very deeply about the rights of Iranian Women.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

The targeting on missiles nowadays is extremely precise. This was not an accident.

Counterpoint: the pendulum always swings back, and they're gonna need an entire media conglomerate spewing MAGA shit daily once Trump is completely out of the picture.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

The only question now is who should be stockpiling arms, Millennials, Zoomers, Alphas or Betas?

It really is just our turn in the anti-democratic box.

And, like those who came before us, we're gonna have to literally fight our way out.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.
