RFK Jr. is an outright danger to this country, and he should resign or be fired. Do we still have the sort of government that does such things? Or have we turned into. . . that other kind. You know the one.

Polling shows Zohran Mamdani leading with Jewish voters in NYC’s mayoral race. But the New York Times keeps framing him as “alienating” the community—while ignoring polls that say otherwise.

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.
I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court.
Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

“Where does the ‘Abolish ICE’ movement go to get its apology?” asked Bulwark’s Bill Kristol, an anti-Trump Republican who seems to understand the zeitgeist better than most Democrats. The reality is that America thrived during its first 227 years when neither ICE nor its gulag archipelago existed."
In Reagan's 1980s, America had just 35 undocumented immigrants behind bars. Today, nearly 48,000 sit in squalid detention, many thrown there by a mask-wearing U.S. secret police that smashes homes, cars and violates human rights
