JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech
TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.
257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident

Excellent!
Highly recommended.
James Talarico leaves Fox News host speechless
I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.
The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.
Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
John Oliver’s team member accepting an award said rolling eyes that it was an honor to work on a political news program “while those are still allowed to be on.”

Sometimes she read as she walked. The grey gilt light and the scent of damp leaves and woodsmoke from the farm. Crows in the fields, the mist rising from the river. The anticipation of hot chestnut soup and bread with cheese and apple dumplings. And she never felt melancholy, never, for her soul could rest and soar in the darkening autumn months, when no demands were made upon her, no tiring expectations of society or travel or that particular form of forced vivacity which made her tired to the very bones.
Some personal news:
I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.
Thread incoming.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
SPAIN — La Vuelta cycling race cut short due to pro-Palestine protests… “riders were stopped with around 60km remaining as they arrived at the finishing circuit in Madrid… various protests against the Israel-Premier Tech team…” www.bbc.com/sport/cyclin...
US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.
At least they're proving to us that their understanding of "free speech" is the same as Charlie Kirk's understanding of it.
You're free to agree with them, but if you disagree, or even if you just quote them back to themselves at the wrong time -- they will punish you for speaking freely.

Donald Trump: “smart people don’t like me”
MARYLAND Senator Chris Van Hollen (D): “It’s spineless of Democratic leadership not to endorse Zohran. They need to get behind him.”
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social spokesman: “Chris Van Who?”🤔
Jeffries really doesn’t get it. Digging the hole deeper and deeper.
This has been making the rounds and it is accurate. The Special Election to fill Rep Melissa Hortman's seat is this coming Tuesday. It will decide the balance of power in the Minnesota State House - which is why she was assasinated.
This is America
This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions
