I've seen much more commentary on oil prices and the stock market than on the effects that this war is having on children.
"Based on current celebrity beauty standards, the goals are clear: you need to look like you’re in your twenties until you’re thirty-five, then look thirty-five until you’re dead."

Rep. Angie Craig: "I would rather stick forks in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to Donald Trump talk about the state of the union, but this is the people's house, and I will not abandon the people'e house."
Atrocities in our names.

RIP Jesse Jackson (Jacob Lawrence's portrait of Jesse Jackson, created in 1970 for cover of Time magazine, now in collection of the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery) npg.si.edu/object/npg_N...
Went back this morning and read @dissentmag.bsky.social's coverage of the Jackson campaign in 1988; I think it is Michael Harrington's "A Case for Jackson" that holds up the best dissentmagazine.org/article/a-ca...
All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Wait a sec . . . I thought he wasn't watching it?
I am an old white man.
I like this half time show.
I understand nothing, but at the same time, I understand everything.
Telling a woman she should smile more while she’s asking about the Epstein victims is a tell, Donald.
She was a thing of beauty to watch in that moment.

Hearing Greg Bovino has been carried off by a hawk
im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse
if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away
Legacy media are sending war correspondants to Minneapolis now, but I can't forget that the first impulse of the paper of record was to send four reporters and a photographer out to find some elderly ICE supporters day drinking.
We're definitely ensconced for awhile . . . put on the music, light the fire, and enjoy.
The thing about Minnesota Lutherans is that while the U.S. military can deploy a functioning Burger King anywhere in the world in 48 hours, your local Mainline Protestant church's women's committee can do it in under 36.
“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple.” — FBI Dir. Kash Patel
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.
From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.
Strange bedfellows in war.
There needs to be bigger punishment than this, but it’s a start
"I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him."
JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.
I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.
