1. AOC scathingly rebuked anti-trans activist Riley Gaines Monday in the form of a single sentence.

"Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth."

Its part of a new wave of Dems being fearless on trans rights.

Ben Shapiro tried to deny it's a genocide in Gaza to Charlamagne on The Breakfast Club. So I went on the show today to explain why Shapiro got the definition of genocide wrong, & point out that he uses the G-word for Syria & the Uyghurs, which are nowhere near as genocidal as Gaza.

Enjoy:

When the post reconstruction court gutted newly established civil rights in the late 1800's, it took over sixty years to overturn those decisions and undo the damage. It'll likely take a similar timeframe to undo the damage this court has wrought and many of us won't live to see that day.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Hey folks, it's a Steam Sale day!

Who wants a good old recommendation thread? Because I got some gems to recommend. But first, some advice. Don't buy anything you're not sure you'll play soon, it's not a good deal if it's just gonna sit in your backlog unplayed, and there'll be other sales. Anyway!
