Who agrees?

The absolute hysteria with which proslavery dems warned that abolitionists wanted black and white people to be able to get married is incredible, they're pretending to be disgusted by "amalgamation" while functionally living in a polygamous society where "amalgamation" is already occurring

I’m 71. I went to a KC Athletics Baseball game were before the game Playboy Bunnies played against Old Timers. I lived through it

Ghislaine Maxwell got into jail for engaging in pedophilia and sex trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell hopes to get out of jail by engaging in extortion.

I'm beginning to get the impression that Ghislaine Maxwell enjoys criming.

The dull teeth-gnashing about Bad Bunny should be considered in the context of how the right responded to the rise of AOC. She was criticized for having lived in the suburbs and being called Sandy by her friends. How dare she “act White”! How dare he not!

Velshi Banned Book Club: 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley Aldous Huxley’s magnum opus “Brave New World” is eerily relevant in today’s America. It explores our cultural fixation and addiction to distraction in a world of unbridled mass consumerism. Alarmingly, it depicts a world with little hope for change when there is little desire to change.

Award-winning authors @clarebeams.bsky.social and MT Anderson share how Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” gives a clear explanation for where American society is today, a world of cultural fixation and addiction to distraction in a world of unbridled mass consumerism. #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub

So this is a headline on Huffpost:
"Republicans Condemn 'Incredibly Offensive' Trump Post About The Obamas"

Are you fucking kidding me? 3 fucking Republicans said something. 3.
Stop giving them credit for not even doing the absolute minimum. This is ludicrous.

LET'S GO BEYOND RACISM AND TALK ABOUT THE LACK OF INTELLECT, BEHAVIORAL CONTROL, OR DIGNITY TO LEAD THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

THE DANGEROUS ECONOMIC WAR, THEFT, DEATH, AND HARM FIXATIONS PUSH FURTHER GLOBALLY

IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR REMOVAL AND HOSPITALIZATION WHEN WILL IT BE

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

The heavy sigh @johnathancapehart.bsky.social gave before calmly explaining why Minnesotans are protesting. Thanks for being on the News Hour

Listen to the cats

It’s not personal. But this is Americans’ responsibility, collectively, even though tens of millions of us made a different choice.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on the power of stories, new book, "The Message" YouTube video by CBS Mornings

It's been just over a year. But on occasion of Tony Dokoupil's selection as anchor of CBS Evening News, it *really* is worth watching these 5+ minutes of his exchange with Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Especially for the quality of TNC's responses. Worth your time.

I mean I’m reading coverage of the immigration crackdown, attacks on all Afghans, and even the Somalis catching strays. But not much context calling this white nationalism. Please. Tell the whole story. This isn’t even my beat but at least I’m trying! 🤦🏾‍♀️ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/16/o...

It’s such an obvious point but this is an organization predicated on the idea that it would fight back against Big Government Imposition, rolling over because it likes what’s being imposed. Another example of how shallow so much of the right’s Gadsden-waving Constitution-hugging always was.

And just said as much in an interview when asked about the late Vice President and his views on War Powers.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Yes, I’ve been raving about that to my husband. All the woodwork, fireplace mantles, light fixtures, those should have been carefully removed

Statement of Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on Standing with Immigrants Oct. 21, 2025 My dear brothers and sisters, today I speak to you as your shepherd, but also as a fellow pilgrim who shares the pain of many of our immigrant communities. Families are being torn apart. Children are left in fear, and communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants. We stand with a mother who crosses borders to feed her children. We stand with the father who labors in silence to build a better future. We stand with the young person who dreams of safety and a better future. Our parishes and schools will not turn away those who seek comfort, and we will not be silent when dignity is denied in the enforcement of the law, it is essential that we respect the dignity of every human being. Now I want to say something directly to those immigrants without documents. Most of you have been here for years. You have worked hard. You have raised families. You have contributed to this nation. You have earned our respect. As the Archbishop of Chicago, I will insist that you be treated with dignity. Americans should not forget that we all come from immigrant families. You are our brothers and sisters. We stand with you. God bless you all.

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

I repeat myself: this is a town of 6000 people in Waldo County, Maine

This.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Just a reminder. They were girls, not women.

Sen. Murkowski on big beautiful bill: "This has been an awful process" The Alaska Republican isn't exactly thrilled with the current version of President Trump's "big, beautiful bill."

Says the awful senator who didn’t need to inflict pain on millions of Americans. At least have the decency to resign. Hoping the House undoes your own vote is the most pathetic, demented defense I have ever heard www.axios.com/2025/07/01/l...
