You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A graphic video shows the moment that Israeli troops fired on aid workers in clearly marked vehicles in Gaza, killing 15 people. The footage contradicts Israel’s version of events in an episode that has drawn international scrutiny. Read witness accounts: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/w...

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.
You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump is both scary and hilarious sometimes. It´s a thin line between being really smart and really stupid. I guess he thinks his voters will not know that it was in place already.

And almost 50% of Americans voted for him. It’s so frightening.
Trump just issued an executive order defunding public schools that accommodate transgender students.
Teachers will be banned from referring to a transgender student by their desired name or pronouns. If they do not comply, their budgets can be defunded.

Trump is considering abolishing FEMA and forcing states to deal with natural disasters.
“I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” he said.
I wonder how Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina & South Carolina feel about “taking care of their own problems” without federal help.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
