On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Emmanuel Gonzalez Garcia. 15 years old. Autistic. Vanished in Texas during a short break. For six days, his mother searched for him — not knowing that ICE had taken him and never informed anyone.

No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Trump admin uses language, tactics of war against perceived enemies. “It’s a military language used by the government against its own people at a time, in fact, of relative tranquility,” says @mawaldman.bsky.social. “That’s really damaging, and it’s really rare.”

Trump deploys tactics and language of war against perceived domestic threats

It represents a dramatic shift in the use of the military, which has been focused for most of American history on threats from abroad.

This Palestinian man shed tears of joy upon finding his home in northern Gaza still standing.

Thousands of Palestinians are returning mostly to rubble in the north, following the pullback of Israeli forces under the ceasefire terms.

You see, we don't even have to mention his name 😂

Quote from David Frum

It's strange that one person can be the cruelest bully in the schoolyard and also at the same time the saddest little boy in the world.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.
