If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.
My latest in @thenation.com
Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

@wilwheaton.net - Hey Wil, I just tried to post this at your latest blog. This Variety article re Jodie Foster was on FB, relaying part of an interview in which she discusses being a child actor, calling it "a cruel job". It reverberates & is in solidarity with you.

Refreshing, isn't it? @meidastouch.com had a video this morning that included clips of @barackobama.bsky.social through his years as President doing exactly this.

You haven't and will never, see that creature in the WH doing this.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Just your regular reminder that Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist
Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll
What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

LOUDER.

Say it louder: Republicans only care about you if you're a wealthy pedophile. Everyone else can suffer.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
