Pete Hegseth gave an order to "kill them all". Was that because they were "narco-terrorists" or because he didn't't want to leave any witnesses alive. Especially if they were just fishermen.

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social. "Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

How the fuck does this guy get to keep his job?

“We ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," Springsteen said. I hope it inspires other artists to use their voices in this urgent time. www.americaamerica.news/p/must-artis...

A compelling argument for fully funding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: Stevie Wonder on Sesame Street.

What is happening in Gaza will be a permanent stain on the world's collective conscience. History will never forget how our government was complicit in enabling and sustaining this ongoing humanitarian disaster. We must end funding for the Netanyahu war machine.

These people, with their performative crosses around their necks, are rapidly turning the long-standing symbol of Christianity into something as reviled as the swastika.

Kash Patel's been quiet. I don't know if I should be relieved or alarmed.

KP: "I feel super connected to love. I think this experience has shown me you never know how much love is inside of you — how much love you have to give and how loved you are — until the day of launch." Bezos: "Have some lizard".

Remember all that talk about "shithole countries" during Trump's first term? I think Project 2025 jotted that down under "Goals".

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

This should have been obvious after "many fine people on both sides ..."

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.
