ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Two Americas.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican.

He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

This was also what Charles Manson was saying before his arrest. Almost word for word.

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple

its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates

it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world

this is not a difficult call to make

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

it doesn't seem to be true that only rich venezuelans are happy that Maduro is gone. But the actual reaction I'm seeing, "I'm glad he's gone but I don't like Trump or the US and they should no longer be involved" is pretty much the same reaction Iraqis had in 2003, and we all know how that unfolded.

Trump has turned the EPA into a pay-or-play de-regulation racket for the fossil fuel industry.

The Green Party must be up in arms! Let’s check in with their leader, Jill Stein.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.

But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

When you go to bed really late and find that your pillow is moist, that's a fine and normal thing about which you needn't worry, I'm sure
