Proud NM native. I refuse to let small, mean-spirited people frighten me. Proud to be anti-fascist. Reading is resistance. It's artificial intelligence.

He was old. He had aggressive cancer. He was a great president. And got treated like absolute shit because the media was bored and wanted Trump back.

It's not about deterrence. It's not about justice. It's not about any sense of a strongman-type ethos. Or Billy Bob American chest-beating about "that's how we do things 'round here" or some other bullshit. All of these miss the point.
Live-streaming a public execution is about throwing a bit of schadenfreude to the peasants.
Yes, your lives suck and you know, deep down, they don't really care about you and your family and you're angry over life being unaffordable and miserable, but as a little treat, you get to watch this guy being gunned down live. Bonus: he's brown and a Muslim.
Pretend he's the cause of your problems. Project all your struggles on him. Invite over friends and family to watch. Make it a little party. Throw out hateful little jokes about dipping the bullets in pig's blood before the triggers are pulled.
Let this guy being shot to death before an audience of tens of millions briefly anesthetize the drudgery and hopelessness of your daily lives.
You can go to sleep that night and wake up the next morning in search of that next great hit of schadenfreude meant to replace what was once your soul and humanity as you march toward your own inevitable death and a little trip to Church on Sundays and a little prayer will wipe away your bloodlust clean for eternity before that day comes.

Is there anything more MAGA than the smug arrogance of someone who’s dead wrong but doesn’t realize it yet?

As America reflects on 250 years, truth must be part of the commemoration.
For Black Americans, America as a democracy is only 61 years old. That truth is not a rejection of this nation. It is a call for America to become what it has promised.
May we choose truth, justice, and the Beloved Community.

America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.

Getting ready for your July Fourth weekend? We are still soaring from our Grand Opening ceremony – and enjoying this video of an unexpected guest with a birds-eye view.
A few of our eagle-eyed guests caught sight of an actual bald eagle flying overhead during the ceremony.
There’s more to learn: Some bald eagles are known to be nesting at Park 597 near the Calumet River, where two eaglets were recently spotted.
Be sure to send us your nickname ideas for the bald eagle, along with any sightings of your own!
And Happy Independence Day!

Erin Brockovich's latest project is a website to report and track data center construction across the country:
"The race to build AI infrastructures is unfolding town by town across America... This map captures the real-world footprint of that race — revealing patterns of growth, conflict and uncertainty."

This is the photo of trump that the world press released of trump from China. The White House hasn't been able to pull it down.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.
The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
Congress is on recess.
This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

If Trump actually follows through, every Republican in Congress should be tried for war crimes with him

You can celebrate the rescue of our airman and be grateful for the people who carried it out while also opposing the war. Those things aren’t in conflict. Honoring courage doesn’t require endorsing the decisions that put people in harm’s way.

This entire administration is proof of what happens when no one ever tells you to shut the fuck up
