The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy.

And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.

This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.

Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap.

The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm.

Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids.

The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids.

"Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel.

Sigh.

disappointed by @chrislhayes.bsky.social for platforming Zionist @schumer.senate.gov tonight, especially in light of Israel literally blowing up the ceasefire and murdering hundreds of Palestinians overnight

antizionism isn't antisemitism
liberation of Palestine is liberation for all

that scene in the oval office yesterday was familiar to anyone who has been made to feel inferior and belittled in a language that you are not native in

if it triggered a buried fight or flight response you couldn't quite identify, and you grew up in a multilingual environment, maybe that's why

OH MY GODDDDD I don't wanna hear ANYTHING about "not respecting the office" from Greasy Mussolini or any of his loyal dumbfuck dickriders

I've been ashamed to be an American for almost half my entire life and yet that shame is somehow heightened EVERY GODDAMN DAY
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day.

"live to see them die"

adding this to my daily affirmations omg
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Consider this: what kind of young law school graduate would want to become an Assistant U.S. Attorney in this Justice Dep’t? Will smart, hard working, ethical young lawyers want to join?
Probably not.
What impact will that have, over time, on the quality of justice? Significant.

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.

I have little sympathy for trumpies in general, but at what point will they realize the whole of maga has been brainwashed to vote against their own interests?? they'd realize they're also victims of the cult if they only took their heads out of their asses for two whole seconds ffs
Trump: "I'll be signing an EO to begin process of fundamentally reforming & overhauling or maybe getting rid of FEMA. I think, frankly, FEMA is not good. When you have a problem like this, you want to use your state to fix it & not waste time calling FEMA..I think we're gonna recommend FEMA go away"

From a data security standpoint, this approach is a joke. There’s no data sucked up by these apps that China couldn’t just buy thanks to Congress’s decade-long failure to pass comprehensive privacy legislation. The onus is not on users and the Supreme Court has recognized that.
I’m concerned that Americans are flocking to a number of adversary-owned social media platforms. We still need a comprehensive and risk-based approach to assessing and mitigating the risks of foreign-owned apps.
