You can't understand the behaviour of US elites - Democrats being too timid, Republicans debasing themselves, bureaucrats who behave like pushovers - without reference to the constant threat of political violence that has come with MAGA. Every day is January 6. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.
This is only going to get worse.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.
We have always been here.
Why does Trump keep pardoning Americans who are the kind of people he claims he's deporting, while he continues to try to deport students & people facing persecution if they're removed? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Love that fantasy “equal justice under the law” that Trump 🤡and his inducted co-defendants made a mockery of over and over again. What a special role model that only sees money 💰and the color gold 💛, eh? If we were in Egypt, he be building his tallest Trump Tower as a resting crypt in perpetuity.

Newspaper article stating "Families in Gaza eating grass and animal feed as doctors wit ess record levels of malnutrition". The article features a photo of a malnourished child, photographed in their home in Gaza on 11th May.
Israel is the most depraved regime on earth.
Lying day after day and starving an entire population to death. A few miles away, Israeli kids eat fast food.
Many children can no longer even walk due to dizziness and weakness from famine.
Supported by Western governments, it's unforgivable.
