I know it's cringe as fuck, but small acts of kindness are going to be so important for the foreseeable future.
Being kind and doing kind things can be your lifeline. It can keep you sane.

chat is it good when journalists change things because they're scared of threats from powerful people
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Q: You have differences when it comes to ICE agents in NYC. How do you reconcile them?
TRUMP: We're gonna work them out. The mayor wants to have a safe New York. We're gonna work together.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

This article is so infuriating. I'm so tired of conservatives who see the actual impact of fascist policies and instead of reexamining whether the policies themselves are wrong, instead just want exceptions for the people they know.
Absolutely not the point of the story but what the fuck are they trying to pass off as pizza in Kansas? www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Put this in the context of the Comey and James prosecutions.
* Career attorneys have been forced out because they didn't support those prosecutions.
* DOJ lawyers will prosecute at Trump's direction whether or not the underlying law supports it.
It is foolish to dismiss this as just an outburst.
