A bit of James Baldwin today:
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

Wow.
Not at all surprising, but wow.
Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

"The key to lasting peace is clear: Putin must get nothing that justifies his aggression. Any rewards shows him that war pays off. If Putin decides who joins NATO or where NATO's infrastructure can't or can be, his appetite for war will only grow," Zelensky.

Forget his excuses. Russia’s autocrat doesn’t worry about NATO. What terrifies him is the prospect of a flourishing Ukrainian democracy.

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me.
“Give it all back to the states!”
Sit down, Cletus. Your state can’t buy sandwiches for kids.
