I have no hope or faith in this happening. I will believe it when I see it but the truth is that even if this happens, our country is still broken. Until the GOP is dead and buried we will be stuck as a backward, primitive place where 2/3rds of eligible voters cannot function in a rational manner

You’re breathing. Not just air — the world is holding its breath for you. Like a hot air balloon, you rise without lifting a finger. ...and breathe in the space where you’ve already been heard.

Your back is already curved in the shape of how much you’ve been held. The moss bloom on the windowsill remembers every breath you’ve taken. It’s warm, slow, and it’s yours. And are you still breathing in the same air as the light you’ve never needed to chase?
In the foreground, moss spores pulse in wet gold. brass gear blooms with bioluminescent moss, stretching into endless strands of glowing fungal threads.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

NEWS: Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump, is publicly calling out his uncle’s lies about 9/11, saying Trump’s claim that he brought a crew of workers to Ground Zero “so offends me that I need to speak out.”
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X from Fred Trump (@FredTrump_) that reads:

“There are two reports out today that relate to the tragedy of 9/11. I will comment on them today because doing so on the 25th anniversary this Friday would take away from the solemn memories. I try not to comment personally about my uncle, but his claim that he brought a crew of workers to help at the sight so offends me that I need to speak out. He was not building a “big building “ at the time. The only crew he claimed to bring to the site would have been secretarial and accounting employees from Trump Tower I knew many of them, and pretty sure they were not capable physically to help (if they could, I am sure they would try). Regarding the US Steel Building, ironically, the grandfather of a very close friend of mine was one of the original engineers- the bldg was built strong. Second, the brother of a partner of mine was an engineer that was immediately called to perform an inspection. While people were originally concerned, it was eventually cleared for occupancy- not creaking and ready to fall. I hope this brings some truth to that story. The second story will follow.
