“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

I call on media to REFUSE the framing pushed by right wing chaos agents like Cernovitch & Rufo on this act of what appears to be political violence. The Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assasinated along with/her husband. The killers was hunting Dems. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Donald Trump just passed the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history and the tech oligarchs are now lining up to praise him. The greed of the billionaire class knows no bounds.

We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)

When Republicans villainize a mass shooter, they are giving away their game: They are saying the shooter should never have had a gun, which Republicans made sure they could buy. Being trans doesn't shoot people, but owning an assault rifle does.

#GavinNewsom Gavin Newsom isn’t just living rent-free in Trump’s head — he’s redecorating, throwing parties, and spray-painting the walls. Every smooth jab peels back that paper-thin orange skin, and the meltdown is glorious. 🍊💥

Trump is reviewing how slavery is taught—claiming it’s portrayed “too harshly.” Below sound too harsh? 12–15M kidnapped from Africa 2M died in the Middle Passage Families torn apart on auction blocks Women systematically raped, children enslaved Cotton & tobacco built white men’s wealth

A voice that weaponized scripture has gone quiet. Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, & Family Policy Alliance, has died today at the age of 89. May the thousands of children and those within the LGBTQ community that suffered find some sparks of peace today.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Not everyone can be great or a big economic success, there will probably be more failures than victories, more struggles than rest; none of that matters. Just be a good person, a good person to others and to yourselves. Do that, and evil can't triumph. Live a life worth living.

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.
