Lo, she was slain in silence.
A Congresswoman. Her husband. Their dog.
No martyrdom. No tributes.
No martyr-makers wept for her name.
Her name—Melissa Hortman.
Yet Charlie Kirk, Boy-Priest of Gun Lust, falls—
and the altars overflow with lamentation.
Hypocrisy is the true state religion.

The rise of dictators
In societies where rules are broken without consequences and where the conditions for many citizens are bad, individuals perceive and learn that one should actually think of oneself first.

Seven wks ago the PA governor's mansion was firebombed in an antisemitic attack.
Less than two wks ago two people were murdered in DC in an antisemitic attack.
Last night eight people were injured, at least one critically, in Boulder in an antisemitic attack.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

when Black people are telling white people about racism, it's not to villainize them. it's to speak with historical and moral clarity. So that they can look around and say “oh my god, i can't believe what my ancestors and my people continue to do. this ends now, and it stops with me.”

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Last rt: if the current administration is anti-masking in public, you should automatically be pro-masking in public.
Masking supports disabled people, makes a more safe and equitable environment, and goes against a fascist, eugenicist mentality.
Show your disabled friends you care. Wear a mask.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.
Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador
