AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Honestly if Disney feels like the material of late night comics are not “on brand” for the company (as some defenders of Iger have claimed), then maybe it should stick to amusement parks and get out of broadcast TV. I say this as a Disney shareholder. (And good for Eisner for speaking up!)

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting.
The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

Yes, this is a must read. "The U.S. is drifting into an undeclared war of assassination across half a hemisphere, led by unaccountable officials who equate explosions with effectiveness." Also: "unlawful orders—foreign or domestic—must be disobeyed."

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.
This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.
Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

The irony of all this is that the current administration is actively working to dismantle family planning including all reproductive health care & IVF.
So even if you CAN afford to have kids, they want to make sure you are birthing children for “good Christian families” and not able to raise them.

I cannot stress this enough.
“I’m gonna wait til I’m financially stable to have kids” ✅ Perfectly OK
“People should consider their finances before thinking about having kids” ✅ Perfectly OK
“POOR PEOPLE SHOULD NOT REPRODUCE” 🚫 Eugenics talking point.

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

The Department of Justice was created in 1870 with an explicit mission to protect civil rights and enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments.
The DOJ went after the Klan hard, securing thousands of indictments and 600+ convictions within the first year alone.
How about restoring *that* focus?

And this isn’t a rare or once over thing. There’s a pattern of autistic white men and women on social media typing very racist things especially about Black people and then blaming their autism
