Doing some research for an essay and it struck me that what we are dealing with goes far beyond criminality and corruption, as heinous as the depth of that has transpired to be. No, what we are witnessing is widescale treason.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

billionaires have invested in media not because they support journalism but because they want to control it. there is only downside to a free press for people with that level of wealth. journalism is a great equalizer and they don’t want us to be equal.

Powerful Afrikaans poem about masculinity and the power of vulnerability, from Herman Wasserman's poetry collection “Waterman”.
"ons sal saamhuil en saamsing
totdat elke boytjie dit weet:
water kan ook rotse breek"

America being run as if the president is a hostile foreign agent.
Oh wait.
Several (dozens of) other sovereign nations suffering that fate as well. Huh. What a time to be alive.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The Hind Rijab Foundation has taken 24 Israeli soldiers and commanders to the International Criminal Court over the killing of Hind Rijab, a six-year-old Palestinian child. </p>
<p>The foundation identified the<meta charset="UTF-8"> Vampire Empire Company of the<strong> </strong>52nd Armoured Battalion operating under Israel’s 401st Armoured Brigade as responsible for the killing of Hind, six members of her family and two Palestinian medics. </p>
<p>The Foundation said three key senior Israeli commanders were responsible: Colonel Beni Aharon, commander of the 401st Armoured Brigade; Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Ella, commander of the 52nd Armoured Battalion; and Major Sean Glass, commander of the Vampire Empire Company. </p>
<p>The foundation said an additional 22 identified tank crew members of the same company "directly participated in or facilitated the attack".</p>
<p><meta charset="UTF-8"></p>
<p>"The attacks were carried out with full knowledge of the victims’ civilian and protected status, following prior coordination between the Palestinian Red Crescent and Israeli authorities," the foundation said in a statement. </p>
<p>"The Foundation’s legal team concludes that these acts amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, under Articles 6, 7, and 8 of the Rome Statute," the statement added. </p>

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
