Ostensibly mainstream republicans are way too extreme with their Islamophobia even for their own good lately. I think normal people can make this kind of putrid bigotry anathema again with some confident shout-downs and notch some victories

I guess blowing up Fordow and declaring Iran denuclearized is the new closing Yongbyon and declaring North Korea denuclearized?

I liked Hamilton early on, and I still like it. But that's because I always saw it as a sort of Animaniacs-style goofy novelty, not some kind of revolutionary text
Five Democratic senators have rented a small theater at the Kennedy Center and invited the producer of “Hamilton” to stage a gay pride concert there as a form of protest against President Trump’s takeover of the institution.
Democrats to Protest Trump’s Takeover of Kennedy Center With Pride Event
“This is our way of reoccupying the Kennedy Center,” said Jeffrey Seller of “Hamilton,” who was asked to stage the invite-only concert hosted by five senators.

The “peace through strength” shit is literally the dumbest, most cynical politicking I’ve ever seen, so presumably that means it will work brilliantly

A vet saying “have your dog take this pill” assumes I have powers I do not have. Like saying “have your dad read this book.”

Whoever made this image was a visionary. It dances across my mind all day. It’s the last fading image I think of every night when I go to sleep. It’s the truest work of art in years

The ICC really needs to speed up development of its framework for environmental war crimes
Big warning from IAEA chief Rafael Grossi: a direct hit on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear plant could release large amounts of radioactive material into the environment.
