two social media posts, one after the other. The first is about the death of the Iranian girls, the next is about Trump saying that he is defending American children

The juxtaposition:

Just in case they are looking to see public response.

I am against war. I am against collaborating with warmongers. I'm against war crimes and the massacre of children. Of anyone.

War is monstrous.

What is being done cannot be justified. I am ashamed of and disgusted by the horror we unleash.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

"The things that will DESTROY US are:

You have to watch a lot of Stephen Miller to make these, and the more you do, the more you realize Trump is doing a Miller impression a lot of the time. My theory is that a lot of his digressions are him remembering things Miller told him, since he doesn't seem to listen carefully to anyone else.

This, sir, is some world-class trolling. Bravo! 🙌

Silly. You need ID (not “voter ID”) to get on a plane. Not “proof of citizenship,” which is what the SAVE America Act requires.

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

Thank you, Governor Walz; you are gracious to treat his passing with the respect it deserves--he was truly a great man!

Staying up late tonight to look at a friend's essay on settler colonialism in Florida. Not being a traditional academic (I'm just a guy with an expensive degree), I still enjoy thinking about how we our constructed memories shape our national identities. We tell ourselves what we want to hear.

We were already trying to process AI encouraging suicide. We couldn’t begin to process AI artificially with enthusiasm removing clothing from images of minors and women who never consented.

Now we have to face AI assisting and yes, again encouraging, domestic abuse, stalking and harassment.

So great to see you--glad you are doing what you need to do to care for yourself, and thanks, as always, for all you do to inspire, protect, educate, and care for others.

Welcome to the Plutocracy

Ok, I love the MC Hammer one, but this one made me do a spit-take. Thank you for brightening my timeline!!

The usual NYT 'both-sides' framing: "Minnesotans quickly responded...disrupting the city with chaotic clashes". In fact, both the chaos and the clashes were instigated, escalated, and intentionally elevated BY ICE, NOT "Minnesotans".

Morning.

the federal government is arresting journalists not only without a warrant but after being explicitly denied a warrant

i wonder what our freedom of speech warriors like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have to say about this

Donated--it feels great to be able to do something concrete for Melia instead of just re-posting! We love you, Melia!
