El-Sayed: "Under Trump and Hegseth, you're seeing extremes that you never would have imagined. The idea that you want to livestream somebody's death for children to watch is truly extreme ... I don't want that to be politics as usual."

Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

I live in New York. I have to hit the streets. We cannot have open air shootings, and indiscriminate killings on the streets of New York. Our families and children are in danger of getting hit by stray Bullets when ICE agents are wildly shooting like it’s a Warzone

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

The U.S. re-joins an exclusive club
Screenshot of a list citing human rights organizations such as Amnesty International identifying four countries that have recently or historically carried out public executions: Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia. The text describes public hangings in Iran, executions under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, reported public executions in North Korea, and Saudi Arabia’s historical use of public beheadings.

I know women who are intimidated about going to vote—wondering if they have the proper paperwork to prove their name changes due to marriages & divorces. They're searching for birth certificates, social security cards, marriage licenses, and divorce decrees. These are real voting hurdles for women.

I'm really sad y'all. I did not go into trans journalism to make "Dem capitulates on trans rights" my daily beat. It was a much better environment when I could count on everyone in our party, even the red state dems, to present a wall on this stuff. It just feels so bleak.

Well, as they say in the South, then "color me 'the enemy.'" Now that Trump has decided to change the name of something (yet again) by a "shove it down your throat" executive order, I will NEVER refer to it as anything but ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

He comes across as needing too much validation —and—a lot of special accommodations concerning his manhood. Proving his manhood appears to occupy his thoughts. Constantly. He's always pushing his manhood. Reeks of insecurity.

This is how historian Robert Paxton defined a certain word that begins with F in his 2004 book.
Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.
