White House renames building the ‘Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace’ The change comes as Trump’s administration has touted his peace deals and ahead of a signing of a deal between the leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo this week.

You can’t make this shit up. Naming a building after yourself in the name of peace you have never embodied, forged, or effectively impacted in a program you unlawfully defunded and dismantled (and are currently pending Congressional legal actions after being sued for unconstitutionality) is bonkers.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Calls Somalis ‘Garbage’ He Doesn’t Want in the U.S.

The autocrat is a piece of shit. We know this, he proves it every day, and here just another example of his racist, xenophobic vitriol while his minions bang desks and laugh in encouragement.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

a blue fist with speech bubbles saying stand up for those who speak out ALT: a blue fist with speech bubbles saying stand up for those who speak out

I’m in a red state at a teaching social action institute and I have to say, the faculty around me are having some very familiar conversations that I had when living in GA. I can’t express enough how grateful I am that these are not the same realities I have to face to the same extent anymore.

Reading the new this week has really made me want to get bone-crushingly wrecked on Tylenol. Cuz I read on Reddit that it crushes bones so it must be true, it’s like, research.

While a lot of people are having long discourses about condemning violence despite whether they agree with a person, I just want to remind us to condemn genocide. Perhaps we can all agree on that.

As a researcher who centers gun violence in their work, I’m never surprised when the public conversation about violence involves humanizing its impact seems to only happen when a conservative figure is the victim. When it’s kids, Black, immigrant, or trans* folx the narrative is somewhat different.

Congratulations for getting him where it pinched. He's a smear of a man and a twisted leader.

Autocrats use propagandized pop culture to sell their monstrous acts of abuse. But it doesn't help if you missed the point of the movie used as a power pump & point to the fact that this is about the horrors of American imperialism & the unraveling of morality. The Autocrat is a moron and a monster.

Gaza City and Surrounding Areas Are Officially Under Famine, Monitors Say

Gaza is officially under famine and Israel denies it. Autocracy involves blatant lies to normalize oppressive political maneuvers. It’s in the Autocratic Guidebook 101. History is clocking this genocide and the monstrous forces that perpetuated it.

Gestapo tactics. Utterly horrific people are going through this

More terrorizing of people by federal officials, willing to lie to cover their asses despite video evidence showing the opposite of what they claim. Gestapo tactics are the new norm.

More people in Ohio need protection from violent crime than there are people in D.C. Governors of three states — Ohio, South Carolina and West Virginia — are sending members of their state National Guards to D.C. to … well, theoretically to combat crime but, if the past week is any in...

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
