I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

Daily bunny no.3105 needs to ask nicely

Two bunnies stand at the foot of an old brick wall, in a forest somewhere. There is a small door in the wall, the only way through. At the top of the wall are four blackbirds, one of which has the key in its beak. The bunnies implore the bird for the key

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

Many of those compositions were penned overseas and dumped in our country without sufficient tariffs collected. A city that isn't a Democratic hellscape would have played more Copeland and John Phillip Sousa. #MAGA

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Right wing economics (austerity for the poor, tax breaks for the rich, small government, deregulation, etc) don't work. They never have.

Anyone who still falls for this shit hasn't been paying attention.

Again, and forever, if Trump -- with the leverage he has now -- can't compel the release of Marwan Barghouti, then he is content with only another pause in the century of bloodshed in The Levant. Barghouti marginalizes and affronts extremists on both sides and means real negotiations and two states.

Sad to see the US go from the people's "cancel culture" where public outcry and personal spending habits could impact a target, to regime initiated "woke is dead" policy where mass, indiscriminate firings or threats are made to protect one old man and his swamp of corruption.

Antarctica may have passed a climate tipping point of no return, scientists are warning, with mounting evidence that a sudden slump in sea ice formation since 2016 is linked to human-induced ocean warming.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas

Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica – and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.
