People should read.
I'm tired of people not reading.
Please, if you can, PLEASE, read! Read everything, but especially fiction! Read comics!
It will help you with empathy AND make you smarter.
Please, read.

Tell me if I’m wrong but if people can go to prison for lying to Congress, then shouldn’t members of Congress go to prison for lying to the people?

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.

Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Anyone in Congress who is not actively stopping Trump from committing war crimes right now, is complicit and should be tried along with Trump.

Well, well…

If the 14th amendment was not meant for modern immigrants, then the 2nd amendment was not meant for modern arms.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I just watched NUREMBERG on Netflix. The best line in the movie was:
"You wanna know why it happened here? People let it happen, because they didn't stand up until it was too late".
There's alot in this movie I see happening here in America today. We better all stand up before it's too late.

We also watched Nuremberg tonight and the parallels, though known intellectually, are frightening to witness, even on film. ☮️☮️☮️

The military—and every service member is sworn to uphold the United States Constitution— must remove the tyrannical regime, which does not have the consent of We The People.

The People are sovereign and under attack by an illegitimate despot.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS. YET SOME STILL SIDE WITH EVIL.

“Bucha survived 33 days of russian occupation, terror, torture — 33 days of total evil. 600 murdered Ukrainian men and women. Russia called it staged. Russia always does this.
Actually, all evil acts this way.”

President Zelenskyy addressed the European leaders at the Bucha Summit.

The New York Times drops freelance journalist who used AI to write book review Writer and author Alex Preston said he “made a serious mistake” after a reader spotted similarities between his review and one that appeared in the Guardian

This is all reminding me of a conversation I had recently with an old friend who works in tech and extremely gung-ho about AI. When I told him about my process for writing a long New Yorker piece, he was absolutely sure that AI could make it more "efficient." / www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

The president of the United States is advocating for and committing war crimes in our name. He needs to be impeached and removed for his illegal unconstitutional war. Now he is smearing every American as war criminals, and he needs to be removed immediately.!

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances

Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation.

Complete abdication of duty.

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

It was a joy to spend a few days with some of the women who lead the Yurok Tribe in Klamath, CA. There's a lot to learn from Indigenous people's methods—both traditional and innovative—of caring for their people and their lands. Thank you again to my hosts and the friends who made this visit happen.

The grift will not stop til he and the entire bloody lot of grifters are extracted, then banned from ever holding a governmental position again. This once great nation has never witnessed an entire admin with such brazen corruption & utter incompetence.
They all must be held to account.
