Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

According to hacked emails obtained by @dropsitenews.com, 'journalist' Douglas Murray was allegedly writing secret draft speeches for the Israeli ambassador to the UN while also pretending to be an independent 'journalist'.

It is not, when Zionism was first getting started it was secular, and they debated between two places to colonize, one being Argentina, the other being Palestine. They choose Palestine because of marketing purposes…

Zionism isn’t intrinsically linked to Judaism.
Zionists would like to think it is, but there about. 3500 years separating them. So, no.

Zionism is broadly similar to a host of colonialist and colonialist-adjacent ideologies of the late 1800's, which is why my dislike of it is mostly due to the dominant model of it at present being a relic of said time (much of which is due to Netanyahu and his family's connection to Jabotinsky).

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

ICEBLOCK IS STILL OPERATIONAL!

If you have #ICEBlock installed, you and 1.14 million of your friends can still make and receive reports. DO NOT DELETE the app from your iPhone as you will lose access.

While we can no longer provide updates, we encourage everyone to continue the fight. #resist

Yeah both parties need equal scrutiny for sure. The one that currently controls all branches of government, and is kidnapping and terrorizing people democrat cities as a form of punishment and also the one that sits on the sidelines making polite but muted pleas to follow the law.

Yep. It angers me when people don't point this out. Who fucking cares if it's discredited? It causes MASSIVE harm. I've been out of it for a decade and I still have trauma from it.

I need people to stop referring to conversion "therapy" as something that's been discredited or doesn't work. That's like saying torture is "discredited" or doesn't work. That they don't work for their stated purpose is secondary to the fact that they DO work for their REAL purpose:

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

This is the glass cliff to end all glass cliffs. You're Marissa Mayer at Yahoo without the Googler street cred. You're Nancy Dubuc at Vice without the string of hit TV shows. You're Linda Yaccarino at Twitter without the advertiser relationships. You have been hired as a sop to a Trump administration that is actively hostile to the actual free press, and you will be made to oversee wave after wave of layoffs until you quit or get fired and the entire news division is shut down in a final spasm of cost-cutting after the next inescapable media merger.

I know the racism is the main story, but I feel like it might also be worth also looking at the fact that the man who for several years not so long ago was Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government now thinks that a lot of our communities and neighbourhoods are "slums",

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

What’s Up With Peter Thiel’s Obsession With the Antichrist? The tech mogul is amping up his apocalyptic rhetoricβ€”and adding a dangerous dose of extremism into the already-fraught culture war.

Okay, #PeterThiel, tech mogul, capitalist overlord, & now- wait for it... self-appointed Antichrist scholar? WTAF is this? 🀯Claiming you’re deep into β€œpolitical theology” while funding Palantir surveillance is like hiring Hannibal Lecter to cater a vegan brunch. #AntichristWatch #ThielMadness
