So I guess the US was also a fascist country when FDR was putting Japanese Americans in internment camps, right?

The sunk cost fallacy is just that—a fallacy. It’s okay to change the things that aren’t working for you, from jobs, to partners, to gender.

Hours after a shooting of ICE detainees, the FBI says “early evidence” of messages on the rounds are “anti-ICE in nature.”

Here is a picture FBI Director Kash Patel just tweeted of “the unspent shell casings recovered…engraved with the phrase ANTI ICE.”

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

They are Nazis, Charlie Kirk was a Nazi, if any just hell exists they will burn in it one day and he will be there waiting for them.

We keep yelling that from the rooftops, we meet the dare and we shame them

Which of course is why it is so important to call them the fucking Nazis that they are.

It lets other people know that their dominance is not uncontested, and that they have not killed truth-telling yet.

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

It's important to understand that he singles out Black women because there are few negative consequences for him when he does. It's his most frictionless lane for bullying.

The broader public has shown him few, if any, will step up to defend us, and it's only ramped up since his first term.

One of the reasons Trump is so successful is that people are so "race tired" they have forgotten ( or do not wish to engage) with all his dog whistles so they don't have to talk to the people he is dog whistling about

Trump means what he meant in NYC

Trump's talk about DC being "dirty and disgusting" in today's press conference reminds me how often Trump seems to hate the country he governs (rules?)

Aid groups report that Israel is refusing to allow any olives or other “fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted” into Gaza. They will only allow in pitted olives.

Israel’s new measures do nothing to stop the starvation crisis in Gaza, say aid workers

Humanitarian workers say airdrops and corridors to allow trucks into region have done little to stop the rising death toll

If you’re willing to cancel Pete Buttigieg because you disagree with one thing he said, your level of intolerance is off the charts. We need to be able to disagree with others without writing them off.
