“Christians United for Israel, the evangelical Zionist group founded by Texas pastor John Hagee, claims 10 million members, more than the entire population of 7.5 million Jews in the United States.”

I wish more people knew this.

this man has been kicked in the head by a mule. very sad. many such cases

If this was happening in any other country you'd have journalists and analysts discussing risks of state failure

’Tis I — meticulous in research, chaotic in all other things

Please read Kate's piece and watch Zohran's video. So important, so good, and so hopeful. I cried watching it too.

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.

Step one of doing a military coup, which Republicans are 100% trying to do, is to buy the loyalty of the military. These motherfuckers are treasonous, but also so so so fucking stupid

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

A tow truck is bringing an ICE/CBP vehicle back to the facility—and its back window has been completely smashed out.

Front driver's side window is cracked, too.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

we are literally besieged in all aspects of american life by unrestrained plutocrats who themselves are surrounded by toadies and sycophants, not one person there to tell them that their hair looks idiotic, their plan to invade portland is insane, that their AI does not work. bring back hard truths

See your politicians suffer! Donate now to the internet dunk tank that is to make a Kat Abughazaleh 24 hour livestream happen!

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

My desire for this book is the kind that would wither a bishop's soul

I'm not sure how to amicably coexist in a country where half of my neighbors are this guy and the other half voted for this raid to happen

I will never get over this.

Got really high and realized this is actually about the Democratic Party

Release the Steinbeck werewolf novel!

They're doing it in the most incompetent possible way, and I firmly believe that if we fight them we'll win. However, it really is a huge bummer that every Republican currently in power is openly trying to do Nazi Germany here

A story indistinguishable from those depicted/dramatized in all the WWII / Holocaust movies and plays and novels we grew up with

well at least he got to inject more chaos into the stock market
