This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.

The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:

“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

I Cannot Unsee the Photos of the Tortured Palestinian Hostages Returned by Israel

@dianabuttu.bsky.social asks: Where is the outrage, the coverage even, of the mutilated Palestinian bodies that the Israelis finally released as part of this 'ceasefire' deal?

Crushed Legs. Gunshot Wounds to the Head. Shackled: Israel Returns Mutilated Palestinian Bodies
Where is the outrage, the coverage even, of the mutilated Palestinian bodies, with crushed legs and gunshot wounds to the head, that the Israelis finally released as part of this 'ceasefire' deal?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I do think people are underestimating the possibility that the House just doesn’t sit.

Couple of questions for the people who said they'd leave NYC if Mamdani won... How much do you want for your apartment? And when can we come and see it?

Good day to think of the victims of the Bush administration’s Iraq War and the consequences of failing to hold people accountable for its torture program.

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.
Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

We have friends everywhere
A week ago I was in Alabama surrounded by some of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. Folks from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and West Virginia who are as sick of this shit as any Californian or New Yorker.

We may be outnumbered some places, but we are everywhere.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

By the same poisonous logic that held only Nixon could go to China, I suppose, only the buffoon who joked on 9/11 about his tower moving up in the tallest rankings after the WTC fell can defund counterterrorism programs in New York without the American political system rising up as one to smite him.
Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

We’ve spent more time talking about nonexistent crime in 🇺🇸 cities in the last month, even as we’ve totally erased actual political violence from the National Conversation™️. Hard to overstate how disheartening & deeply unserious this has been.
We had actual an actual assassination of a Democratic legislator in Minnesota two months ago & it’s completely disappeared from the National Conversation™️. This happens <all> the time over & over again 👇

These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school. Don’t give us your fucking thoughts and prayers.

Trump got rid of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Trump gutted the resources that were in place to keep our communities safe.
