Should We Talk About Evil? This is not a theological post.

I guess I think we should.

Thank you, Bruce.

Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings Mia Tretta was shot in the abdomen in 2019 at a school near LA and Zoe Weissman witnessed a Florida shooting in 2018

Incredible!

Mass shootings are now so common in the US that this was the second shooting experienced by two survivors

Seems kinda huge:

"Epstein survivors have confirmed with democrats in congress that they participated in a massive Biden-era investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators, but Trump and Pam Bondi closed it."

New Orleans-based Opera Créole and Opera Lafayette's joint poduction of Edmond Dédé’s (1827-1901) opera "Morgiane" is magnificent!

Did anyone ever think the USA would deport Purple Heart recipients.

My God💔

My grandpa fought in WWII like many of yours. He was 100% Hispanic and a Purple Heart recipient. When I say he’s rolling over in his grave he’s doing so while 4 of his 7 kids are maga

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Is Driving MAGA Nuts She’s litigious. They’re sexist. It’s a miasma of loathing.

If we said "Alexis Wilkins is suing right-wing commentators who've accused her of being a Mossad agent sent by Israel to stop Kash Patel from releasing the Epstein files," we'd sound nuts. We'd also be reporting straight news. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Good morning, friends. You possess incredible strength as you confront each day, even in tough times. Your past victories over adversity are a reminder of your resilience. You can overcome this hurdle too. Just stand firm and move forward with determination.

Update: East Wing demolition Day 3. Trump confirmed today the entire East Wing will be torn down, according to NYT. He had previously stated it would not be touched.

He does not plan to leave.

They’re not redistricting — they’re preparing the battlefield. If Trump gets 5 extra seats in Congress, he’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent. #YesOnProp50

I must have written "Trump/Musk/Vought are taking a wrecking ball to America" a dozen times in the last 9 months. Now he's literally doing it.

These pictures say everything about Donald Trump's godforsaken reign.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

I supported NPR. I hope everyone else here does as well, if they can

The hosts may not be loud, or brash, or fully on board with your brand of politics

But their programming is honest and sincere

In today’s day and age, that means a lot
