There is no one in Trump’s Administration or the Trump Press with a shred of compassion, conscience or human moral standing. They should be ashamed for their lack of respect for others and human life. Who among them is going to step up and say enough is enough - they are cowards, absolute cowards.

When we inevitably start removing Trump's name, images, etc. from everything the fuhrer put his name and image on, many whites will no doubt complain about it as an "attack" on their "heritage."

USAID was not dismantled by accident. It was a deliberate hit job by the Christian right, backed and financed by Heritage Foundation. Strip the language of charity away and what remains is ideology, power, and control.

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

The word that keeps running through my head about this administration (among others) is "adolescent." These are people with a little boy's idea of what sounds manly.

That's what it looks like when any human being gets shot, though.
If it's okay with Republicans when the victims are 6-year-olds, not clear why that level of violence is haunting when it's a grown man.

"Anti-semitism" was just the foot wedged in the door. The actual intent has always been to destroy academia as a bastion of liberalism, then replace it with nonsense racial and theocratic propaganda.
This was never about protecting Jews, but many in politics and the press willingly fell for it.
