@JohnJHarwood @HawaiiDelilah There are other much more qualified, and much less problematic, Dems running in the primary on Tuesday. Why should we lower our bar to let a Nazi into our party? Vote for @JanetMillsforME and @Costello4Senate

@aliciaandrz I think you might enjoy Lula Dean‘s Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller. I think you might also enjoy I, Medusa.

@CaptMarkKelly @GabbyGiffords You and she are true American Heroes!! I hope you have a lovely celebration planned!

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Tomorrow is @GabbyGiffords’ birthday and I want everyone to wish her a happy birthday. I just blocked her so she won't see this, but I know it'll make her happy.

I still think the most impressive award show performance ever is Neil Patrick Harris's opening number at the 2013 Tonys. like, the ONLY time they were able to successfully complete it was during the live taping. and every celeb in the audience was STUNNED by the end.

here's the video in honor of tonight's Tony Awards lol

Janet Mills took on Donald Trump legally and publicly... she sued the trump administration and won. She was a leader when Trump removed funding from her state because of trans kids in sports.

Step back here. In Hungary, Orban's allied billionaires bought independent media and then stifled it to help Orban. The Ellisons bought CBS to stifle it to help Trump. They will do the same to CNN.

@RoKhanna @grahamformaine No, you don’t. As long as you support Platner, it is very clear that you do not support women.

Love this picture. Synagogues in the US stayed open 24 hours to pray for the troops on D Day.

@AngelJonesPhD The evil that it takes to disagree with a sentiment “all are welcome here” just astonishes me. I also love the name of the school. Fred Korematsu was a hero.

Now I get it!

“The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.”

@tonyposnanski @LMplusG Exactly! And when a few people I really liked ie @QondiNtini and @NicolasEdny said they were not moving over, I decided to stay.

[Sharon 🦋 sharonreader2 ForTHEEPeople @sharonreader]

@LMplusG @tonyposnanski I tried to switch to Bluesky, but it takes me a while to adjust. Then I started hearing about all the antisemitism, and figured I would just stay with my community on Twitter.

@tatertotsconor I’m so sorry, can you get good treatment now?

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

I can't emphasize enough how much this entire "movement" sounds EXACTLY like MAGA.

"The fake news NYT won't report how big and loud the crowds for Platner were. The elitist fake news media lies not because they hate me, but they hate YOU!"

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

The “chutzpah” of those advocating for these heinous acts of terror must be silenced and held accountable.

An 82-year-old Holocaust survivor, Karen Diamond z”l — a woman who survived the fires of hell in Europe, who rebuilt her life in America seeking safety — was murdered by fire in Boulder, Colorado.

A man walked up to peaceful Jews marching for the release of Israeli hostages and hurled Molotov cocktails, screaming “Free Palestine.”

Karen suffered horrific burns and later died from her wounds. Other innocents, including another Holocaust survivor, were left scarred for life.

And now? Some pro-Palestinian student group at CU Boulder — on the anniversary of this horror — declares the firebombing “justified” and demands the killer’s release.

They honor him as some kind of hero who “sacrificed” for the cause.

Let that sink in.

They want the man who burned an elderly Holocaust survivor alive to walk free. Because in their twisted ideology, Jewish blood — even the blood of a survivor who escaped the Nazis — is acceptable collateral damage. “Justified.”

How do you justify dousing survivors of the greatest genocide in history with fire? How do you look at an 82-year-old woman who endured Auschwitz-era horrors and say her death by flames was righteous resistance?

This isn’t activism. This is pure, unmasked Jew-hatred, the same evil that has hunted us for centuries. The same hatred that turned Europe into a graveyard.

The same hatred that erupted on October 7th and continues to burn today.

Karen Diamond survived the Holocaust only to be murdered by its spiritual descendants in the land that promised her refuge. And some celebrate it.

Never again means never again. Not in Europe. Not in Boulder. Not anywhere.

We will remember Karen. We will remember every victim. We will not be silent while they glorify our murderers.

May her memory be a blessing, and may her death ignite a fire for truth, justice, and the unapologetic defense of Jewish lives.

Thank you to the Boulder DA’s office for this statement .

Am Yisrael Chai. 💔🕯️

The problem gentlemen is you think "rapist" means scary man in a hoodie lurking in an alleyway at 3am. Of course you'd block that guy.

But it's the boyfriend you really loved who was angry that you hadn't wanted sex for two days and pinned you for the bed and then felt really bad about it.

It's the really sweet guy backstage who you loved working with for the whole production who knew you only wanted to be friends and then got you drunk at the after party and raped you in a dressing room.

It's the husband who whined and pleaded for sex long after you've said no for hours and refused to take no for an answer until you gave in every night for four years until you realised what it was.

It's the childhood friend who knows your parents and is your brother's best mate who suddenly attacked you when you were 17 and then told you he'd be thrown out of Oxford if you said anything.

It's the kind colleague who offered to drive you home from that conference when there was a train strike and then forced his hands into your pants in a lay-by and then threatened to leave you there at 3am if you didn't stop being a cockteasing bitch.

We're not dumb. We see the constant attempts to make anything short of stranger with a knife made up, regret, our fault really, a matter of the woman not being clear.

We know why you keep trying to make this 'not rape'. Because if coercion, marital rape, pressure, manipulation and exploitation count, then the comforting fantasy that rape is only ever a stranger with a knife falls apart.
