Dear Republican lawmakers, Who the FUCK do you think you are? You sit by silently, letting Trump burn this country down for Putin’s benefit. From Thom Tillis’s faux book tour outrage to the rest of the party’s complicity—you are ALL responsible. We aren't the same nation anymore,

The idea of executions being live-streamed is absolutely sick and disgusting. You don’t hate Pete Hegseth enough

Armed soldiers at voting drop box. Are they really our military? Do they know they are breaking the law? Why haven’t they been removed?

Good to see. What I want to know is where did all 6 shots by ICE end up? Flying down the busy streets of Manhattan? They shot 6 times at close range and hit this man in the side of his neck once. So where did all the other shots go?

If you're comfortable traveling independently but would like local help chasing the aurora in Fairbanks, a tour can still be useful. Maia Hartwigsen is a guide and photographer who I partner with, and she can help you make decisions as conditions change.

Pete Hegseth is treating death and cruelty as entertainment. The news of a livestreamed execution for the Fort Hood murderer is beneath our military. I have no sympathy for Nidal Hasan, he massacred 13 innocent people in '09, but justice is solemn, it shouldn't be a spectacle. Link below ⬇️

“A familiar feature of fascism is the transformation of politics into spectacle. Fascism wants to reduce active citizens into voyeurs—especially voyeurs of cruelty and death. Such degradation of a democratic public is key to fascism’s project and to its success.” www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-wa...

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 is Navi Pillay, a brave extraordinary woman who has served at the International Criminal Court prosecuting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Immediately after being notified she had won, she mocked the orange felon on video. Love her. 💙👊

"A survivor could do everything “right” — fight back, scream No, get DNA on them, tell an outcry witness of their assault, rush first thing to the hospital without showering for a rape kit, even somehow capture the assault on camera — and the public at large would still find a way to blame her."

Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

We can seek justice in this country without glorifying violence and turning an execution into a grotesque public spectacle. What this criminal did was abhorrent and must be punished—but we as a country cannot condone livestreaming a man’s death for entertainment.
