Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

A global survey of 23,000 people finds Gen Z men are twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands. Progress on gender equality isnโ€™t guaranteed; it can slide backward when old hierarchies are repackaged for a new generation. Equality must be defended, not assumed.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

Iโ€™ll have more to say tomorrow. Iโ€™m safe.

Nothing to see hereโ€ฆjust Jeffrey Epstein saying in 2018 that Trump is like a rat who, if cornered, would start a war in the Middle Eastโ€”maybe in Iranโ€”to distract attention from his misbehavior.

Because heโ€™s psychotic that way.

No wonder they had him killed. Epstein fully had Trumpโ€™s number.

Mark Zuckerberg Dropped $170 Million for an Waterfront Estate on Miamiโ€™s Indian Creek Island The Meta CEO's purchase has set a record as the most expensive home ever sold in Miami-Dade County.

Every click, every post, every ad we endured built Zuckerbergโ€™s fortune. Now he buys a $170M private resort in Florida and pushes his property empire toward $660M in a state with no income tax because god forbid any of these Oligarchs pay back to society what we helped them achieve.

Trump told us what he thinks of our soldiers and our efforts in Afghanistan.
He can go fuck himself now.
If Canada even gives this request a moment's thought, then Canadians need to be marching in the streets.

Remember how I said, just a few hours ago, in response to critics insisting I should support the war in Iran because it will help Iranians, that in fact Donald Trump plans to pick the new leader of Iran and Iranians will have no say in it?

Life imitates art.

29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable โ€” which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do to the upcoming midterms.

The best thing we can all do is pay attention, call them out for what theyโ€™re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

Beach photos on one shore, flag-draped coffins on another. When wars escalate, itโ€™s not politicians who pay the price, itโ€™s ordinary families. If U.S. soldiers are sent to fight, Americans deserve to ask who pushed for it, who benefits, and why working people keep absorbing the cost.

Don't believe any statement coming out of the White House about why we're at warโ€”none of the stated reasons are true. Iranian kids are dying en masse todayโ€”see ABC Newsโ€”so Trump and his pals can enrich themselves. But also don't believe those saying this is separate from Epstein.

The idea that killing a bunch of Iranian civilians was going to help the Iranian anti-mullah resistance is just another brainless idea Trump and his lunatic advisors have.

Now the Iranian government will paint the anti-govt protestors as agents of Israel and the U.S.
