I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

I am bummed for @aftynbehn.bsky.social and yet this is a very big shift in a district Trump won a year ago by 22 points.
A +14 shift to the Dems in a very red district applied nationwide next year means a solidly blue House and a chance to retake the Senate against an extremely unfavorable map.

This exposé is breathtaking. Witkoff and Kushner do not just have conflicts of interest - thy are deeply woven into a web of Russian influence peddling by "investments". Money, personal ties and geopolitics have become indistinguishable.

People are organically shifting to taking care of one another and beginning to rediscover interconnectedness. There’s something growing and it doesn’t matter that it isn’t being harnessed by a political party. At some point it will shift the balance of power.
Organizers say that interest in local, grassroots initiatives to meet community needs has been growing.

Pete Hegseth committed a war crime and then doubled down.
He instructed the military to murder civilians at sea and when there were injured victims he gave the order to kill them all.
Surviving victims were brutally dismembered at sea by US missiles.
