Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy. Husband. Parent. Believer in defending democracy, loving your neighbor (which includes strangers), and vehemently against fascism.

Holy $hit! Against a sitting member of Congress. I know I go on about "they'll" do anything, but somehow it doesn't stop me from being shocked.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

A regime built on lies and deceit? This is the perfect example.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

When I rewatch The West Wing and Newsroom I are reminded how long the GOP has been grinding down democracy to replace it with single party rule and oligarchy.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social cites example after example of what has become the MAGA communication refrain: “He lied to you.” With the calamitous results of reckless economic policy and a foreign policy that emboldens Americas enemies, more and more citizens are waking up. Be loud.

Morally and strategically indefensible. We stand with Ukraine. We need to pressure the MAGA regime today to abandon Russian hegemonic aspirations and to hold them accountable for war crimes.

It was bound to happen. It was the right thing to do, which is why I was shocked he did it in the first place.

It's both surprising that he chose to do that, and telling.
I gather that Musk just accidentally made the mistake of revealing how many “MAGA” accounts are actually posting from outside the US.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social underscores how what we do after a war against immorality is as important as the war itself. There will be a post-MAGA period during which we may have the chance to reshape what American democracy looks like. Let’s support new leaders who will do that.

In today’s Letter @hcrichardson.bsky.social demonstrates why alliances are so important, and why, in a world where might makes right tens of millions die. Rarely the instigators. We need to support NATO. We need to support Ukraine. We need to replace the current regime. State by state.
