I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism'
We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman
Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans
Why can I still be surprised by what he can get away with?
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Believe women
This is huge!
When we stand by and watch blatant, violent, and racist attacks on a child and do nothing, we have to admit that this is who we are. And who we have always been. Meaningful change only takes place when our voices are united against this shit.
Uh @joshsteinnc.bsky.social can we get this going in NC?
“A multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators led to the arrest of eight individuals over the last two weeks,” the department said in a release published on Friday. The release lists the names of 38-year-old Tom Artiom Alexandrovich and seven others.
Lol but also 😭

Kristi Noem says it’s lazy of SOUTH PARK to make fun of women, specifically her for how they look. Maybe. But she seems to think it’s fine to arrest and assault people for how they look.
Oh jfc
This is exactly where we are.
Text says: Suicide and abuse at fashion factory supplying Under Armour and Columbia INVESTIGATION A young woman allegedly in forced labour at a clothes factory in Jordan killed herself while making products for the global fashion brands, i has discovered The sportswear giants Under Armour and Columbia have been hit by claims of forced labour in a factory making their clothes, after systemic abuse and exploitation allegedly led to a worker’s death by suicide, i can exclusively reveal. The two companies have launched urgent inquiries over the death of a young Bangladeshi woman at a major supplier’s facility in Jordan, uncovered by a months-long investigation. American Eagle, a major retailer with more than 1,000 stores in the US, admitted that it also uses the site and is taking remedial action. Tureza Akter, 21, died in her dormitory in November last year, just over a month after arriving at the Fine Apparel site in the city of Zarqa, about 10 miles north-east of the capital, Amman. It is run by Needle Craft, a major Jordan-based clothes manufacturing company. Ms Akter is said to have been fined many times for missing excessive targets. She was abused by a supervisor hours before she died, an official report states. Sources say that migrant labourers are tricked into “dehumanising” 16-hour days in the factory for less money than promised, while bosses intimidate them and withhold their passports. Sexual harassment is also said to be common. Members of the largely female workforce are apparently solicited by staff for sex and made to strip in front of managers. The factory owners have launched an independent review and say they are supporting Ms Akter’s family after her “tragic” death. i began its investigation after being alerted by Labour Behind the Label. The British campaign group, which lobbies for workers’ rights in the fashion industry, called the findings “horrifying and shameful”. Confronted with the evidence, the factory and companies it s…
Photo of an American Eagle ad showing Sydney Sweeney. It says "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans."
A screenshot of American Eagle's mens jeans. They retail for $50 but have been discounted to $35. These are cotton-poly blended stretch jeans in various cuts, colors, and washes.
We should have a larger convo about how companies like American Eagle use beautiful people to add glamor to unglamorous products. In 2023, a young Bangladeshi woman committed suicide at a factory that made American Eagle clothes bc of abuse. This is the cost of cheap, trendy clothes.
It’s time to appoint Chris Hansen as Special Prosecutor in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The thing I like about this is the casual cheating. Senators will be like “he drives the ball 310 straight down the middle” and his caddy is just dropping a new ball after he shanked it out of bounds. Probably shot “68” today.
Pretty sure we’re all thinking it, dummy
Share widely. I’m so sorry we failed you, Katie.
I covered her venality in depth on today’s show, including showing and reading excerpts from the DOJ press release after Ghislaine’s sentencing.

It’s almost as if you can’t trust a rapist…
"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."
He’s such a turd. The smugness on his face while he says the stupidest shit is infuriating
This one hurts.
Remember when they impeached Bill Clinton for lying
New level of wtaf activated
@thefarce.org made a YouTube of the TikTok that Trump got all you to ignore with his tweet threatening to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship.
This is a strong moral critique that proved prescient. This is what he is trying to suppress.

You would do well to disseminate this at least as much as the Trump tweet.
He attacked her to shut up any talk of accountability for his policies.
So rather than gaping at his tweet, talk about accountability.
Absolutely perfect response. Love you, Rosie
Absolutely pure evil.
