Political violence and threats are not the answer.
This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.

Meiselas: First off—people who are alpha don’t go around calling themselves alpha.
Look, where I grew up, my dad would say: Being a man means standing by your word.
Being a man means you push back against the bully, and you uplift people. You don’t punch down at marginalized communities.
