So we've had two white male Marine veterans commit mass shootings this weekend in Michigan and North Carolina leaving at least 4 dead and a church burned down.

I'm sure MAGA will declare it an epidemic and push to ban white male Marine veterans from owning guns any day now.

An Update:

I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly.

(I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

Disgust, horror, and "elimination": Trump and RFK Jr.'s eugenicist autism conference The most striking omission from Monday's White House pageant: autistic people.

Trump’s long history of being obsessed with eugenics set the tone for his recent press conference, where the president and RFK Jr. framed autism as something to eliminate—rather than what scientists agree it is: a spectrum of neurological differences with a wide range of symptoms.

And a goddamned AGE LIMIT

If Democrats ever get power again there needs to be a proper reckoning. Criminals need to be indicted, prosecuted and convicted for trying to subvert our democracy and rights for Trump.

There is no room for Merrick Garlands and milquetoast centrists anymore.

You need accountability.

Just like the nazis copied amerikkka's playbook

FREE PALESTINE!

Ellison Tops Musk as World’s Richest Man After $101 Billion Gain Larry Ellison has become the world’s richest person for the first time, ending Elon Musk’s nearly year-long reign in the top spot.

Larry Ellison just became the world's richest man. He's in talks to lead an acquisition bid of Tiktok and his son just completed a takeover of Paramount/CBS.

By year's end, he will likely be in control of legacy media and the largest social media platform.

Audible’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series Expands Cast With Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and More Audible announced additional casting for its 'Harry Potter' audiobook series, including Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy and Simon Pegg.

this is a lot of people to be deeply disappointed in (and a lot of nonsense casting, not that that matters anywhere near as much)

Zuckerberg saying Meta intends to spend at least 600 billion in the US

Zuckerberg at the end caught on a hot mic

Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.

this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target

THE ADL SUPPORTS GENOCIDE! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.

Rebellions are built on hope

Beyond the immediate use of this to crack down on immigrants and people of color, I will bet you that they're going to target LGBTQ bars and drag events. With direct police powers, they'll have free reign to do whatever they want.

I have been in touch with my friends and comrades onboard the Handala freedom flotilla. Here is an update from Tan Safi from onboard the Handala. They only have another day or two now before arriving at the shores of Gaza. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Israel 'racing' to wipe out Gaza, heritage minister says Benjamin Netanyahu distances himself from Amichay Eliyahu's comments, saying he does not speak for the government

Israel 'racing' to wipe out Gaza, heritage minister says - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-minister-heritage-says-israel-racing-ahead-gaza-be-wiped-out

Mark Carney posts: “Canada condemns the Israeli government's failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel's control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians. This denial of humanitarian aid is a violation of international law. Canada calls on all sides to negotiate an immediate ceasefire in good faith. We reiterate our calls for Hamas to immediately release all the hostages, and for the Israeli government to respect the territorial integrity of the West Bank and Gaza.”

Mark Carney’s post continues: “Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. Canada will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.”

Carney has put out another strongly worded finger-wagging for Israel with NO concrete action.

Shocking to see our prime minister acknowledge Israel’s violation of international law but still not announce sanctions, a real two-way arms embargo, recognition of a Palestinian state….ANY actual action.

YOU'RE SPONSORED BY GENOCIDE

Death Death to the IDF🕺🏿🪩

Actually it is Donald Trump and Netanyahu who are the threat to world peace and who should not have nuclear bombs.
