Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I want an entire subplot of the AEW Women's Tag Team belts as Mercedes Mone trying to find a tag team partner but everyone knows she's no good so they refuse.

And then she recruits Nyla and they become the most unhinged team ever.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence.

You can do both.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Donald Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, and he’s not shy about pushing for it. Does he have a case?

Dr. Janice Stein kicks off Season 6 of The Bridge today, with analysis on Ukraine, Russia, China and The Middle East.

Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION
Starbucks worker pay: $15,000

Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION
Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000

CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker.
In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more.

The system is rigged.

While I miss the social team would update their page to make it clear, I’m glad to see they are pushing this is about the venue and not AEW.

2300 Arena should do better.

IATSE Local 8 are NOT asking people not to attend tonight’s #AEWDynamite. They ARE asking people to send 2300 Arena management a letter at this link: actionnetwork.org/letters/2300...

I finally figured out what Dana Perino is telling us here:

It's okay to be a deranged narcissistic sociopath like Donald Trump, and it's okay to tweet like a deranged narcissistic sociopath like Donald Trump if, in fact, you are a deranged narcissistic sociopath like Donald Trump.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · Aug 18

Perino: You have to stop at with the Twitter thing. If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it… He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
