Unspeakably evil
Only reason I am an American is because my Zeide did translation work for the US Army, in the immediate aftermath of WW2, which he spent in various concentration camps
Turning our backs on the brave Afghans who helped us is morally vacant, and a stain on our national character
This thing where society has socialized many to triple down in avoidance and compartmentalize things away, leaves ppl as open vessels to carry out evil.
There will be millions of dead men, women & children as a result of his budget cuts, which were made without Congressional approval.

In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

It's always a good idea to remind folks that there are media outlets getting it right as @markjacob.bsky.social does here in his latest must-read column. I'm honored to be included in the 'individual voices' section with some of my faves.

On this day in 2007, a Georgia high school held its first integrated prom. White parents still held a private, "white-only" prom, and some barred their children from attending the integrated prom.
People crave explainers. This is a good one for the 'why aren't dems doing a thing' crowd...and everybody else.
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
Trump on whether he needs congressional oversite. "I think we're just gonna kill people."
Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

If you think Trump depicting himself as Jesus is blasphemous, wait until you hear how he cut food assistance and healthcare to poor children.

the us is sending 10,000+ more troops to the middle east while simultaneously pursuing ceasefire talks in islamabad. trump clearly wants to announce a quick win and deescalate. but worth remembering that the pentagon is preparing for "the possibility of additional strikes or ground operations."
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT
1/2 Rewriting history: A pardon and a vacatur are not the same thing. A pardon says “you’re forgiven,” but the conviction still exists on your record. Vacatur says “this conviction is void,” as if it never legally happened. @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social
DOJ released a report claiming the Biden administration “weaponized” it when it prosecuted violations of a law that prohibits violence, threats, intimidation or obstruction used to prevent people from entering reproductive health clinics. That report, debunked here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
There are actual books for children that contain this information. How humiliating this would be for him if he had enough self-awareness to experience shame.

The degradation of society:
1. Celebrating the k!lling of a CEO
2. Cheering on warehouse arsons
3. Making heroes out of people who attempt political violence
You can be outraged at the system and still not glorify violence. These aren't wins. This is a society losing its moral compass.

Amia Srinivasan’s “Sex as Pedagogical Failure” should be required reading.
Whenever a man in position of authority pursues a subordinate woman, he is changing her trajectory in that space forever. The research on how much even “consensual” affairs hurt the women involved is jaw dropping.
A milestone in March: for the first time ever, renewables provided more power on the US grid than natural gas.
The Depeche Mode prophecy has been fulfilled.
