Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

Wow. 😳

As are many US citizens, Trump's and Vance's behavior was disgraceful and an embarrassment to our country

Zelensky Walked Into a Trap Donald Trump and J. D. Vance appear to have entered today’s Oval Office meeting with the goal of generating a pretext for a diplomatic break with Ukraine.

“Trump and Vance appear to have entered the meeting with the intention of berating Zelensky and drawing him into an argument as a pretext for the diplomatic break,” Jonathan Chait writes: theatln.tc/ejdvMpQT

I firmly stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

6 weeks ago, Ukraine was our ally, and we were supporting Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732.

Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

About damn time that they start growing a spine, county over party!

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents.

Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?”

Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.”

Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Tonight please join the protest to protect #transyouth care. #CHLA has hauled their gender affirming care due to Trump's hateful #ExecutiveOrder against the #trans community.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
