News story headline of “Fierce backlash within GOP after Tucker Carlson gives White nationalist Nick Fuentes a platform.” With an image of Nick Fuentes wearing a MAGA hat.

Maybe I’m a buffoon, but it seems a little strange that CNN capitalized the word “White” in this headline?

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

Gaza's Annihilation Can Never Be Forgiven Revisiting On Repentance and Repair

It’s long past time that I take responsibility for what I wrote on Israel/Palestine in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR.

& with the Gaza genocide, our thinking about what amends & healing may ever involve is even more urgent.

Even if there may never be “forgiveness” or “atonement.”

I do not celebrate any murder.

I do not celebrate the violent death of any human being, nor the loss of any chance for repentance & repair. None.

And those on the right must note that this is the "deal" for which Kirk himself actively advocated.

Pass better gun policy if you don't like murder!

"Mr. Schumer's stated approach of waiting for Trump to 'screw up' and continue this inexplicable embrace of the slippery slope is wholly inadequate and an astonishing failure of leadership."

The discourse over the US as a “melting pot” is a false dichotomy. White supremacists reject it because they want whiteness to be the only story. But the melting pot is a neoliberal myth too—A story of assimilation where queerness, BIPOC, womanhood & any identity outside the dominant are grafted on-

Haaaaay! Super pumped to hear @schumer.senate.gov pulling a 2025 take on Rachel Dolezal, wait, sorry, Nkeshi Amerie Diallo, and is now a Palestinian.

Welcome, queen! Can I offer you a slice of knafeh?!

What could Schumer do? Here's what I'd do:

Get every Dem in front of the Capitol today and say this: "Every single one of us will vote for a clean one-month funding bill right now. What we will not do is cave to Republican threats to shut down the government unless we give a blank check to Musk."

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen?

We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

Massive crowds in NYC are growing and not letting up, demanding the immediate release of Columbia student being kidnapped for protesting for Palestine.

"We want justice. We say how. Free Mahmoud right now!"

First they came for the Palestinians, and I said "this is fine and surely this will be the full extent of it," the end.

This is how it’s done folks. If your rep won’t hold a town hall because they know what they’re doing is unpopular, hold one for them and let everyone in your community know what they’re up to.
