to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech
Who is providing protection for the victims? They are in danger.

It feels a lot like trying to provoke a skirmish in Chicago so you can "regrettably" fire on a crowd/arrest a bunch of people/break out the tear gas. Citizens vs the military, it is definitely happening here.
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time.

And I share it!
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
The presidential candidate who runs on the slogan "THERE WILL BE TRIALS!" has my vote.
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.
Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.
Many have speculated how he’d do it.
Now his gambit is clear.
DC was a test.
He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.
This is not a drill.
Democracy is at defcon 1.

"Gender exploratory therapy" organizations are for queer people what "crisis pregnancy centers" are for pregnant people: right-wing scams. @charliejane.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @transgenderreport.com www.queerty.com/what-is-gend...

I talked with a doctor in rural Wisconsin about what she wished elected officials in Washington understood about the health care system.
Her answer is important for every American to hear:
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
Don't threaten me with a good time.

Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:
House of Dragons is kind of fun. Beautiful dragons, strong women, annoying men. Matt Smith makes a fine villain. I’ve adored dragons since I first saw Sleeping Beauty in a theater as a small child, along with my first Tchaikovsky.
I love a good post apocalyptic movie, but the most upsetting and scary movie I’ve ever seen is “2073”, largely because they interrupt the action twice to explain how the world got that way, with news footage and facts.
BREAKING: Convicted sex trafficker who taught young girls how to blow old men says sole person on earth who can pardon her did nothing wrong.
The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.
The Leftovers is a deeply weird show. I loved it enough to binge it twice.
