Today marks 58 years since the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing.
It combated practices like redlining, which denied Black Americans access to mortgages and homeownership.

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

Kennedy is a eugenicist.
His words and choices to date provide ample evidence of his deep hatred for disabled ‘weaker’ people. All his ‘policy’ is driven by one goal: make the population ‘fitter’ by ‘weeding out the unfit.’
Speak of him as the open, rank eugenicist he is.

When Trump needed the conspiracy-theorizing masses of Alex Jones in his coalition, he was fine with Jones' Sandy Hook denial. Now that Alex Jones has shown disloyalty to *him,* suddenly Trump professes to care about it.
This gets at MAGA's deepest perversities.

I talked to numerous people in Newtown. They were surprised to hear Trump condemn Alex Jones for his Sandy Hook denial, because they expressly asked Trump to disavow this in 2017 during his first term and he refused.
I've got quotes from them and the backstory here:

In his tirade against MAGA war critics, Trump blasted Alex Jones for calling Sandy Hook a hoax.
This seemed odd. So I went back and checked. At the time Trump hailed Jones as "amazing" and rebuffed demands that he denounce lies about the shooting.

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

I’ve long thought/feared that a society willing to put people in camps like this will also eventually decide there’s cheaper and faster solutions than paying to deport them and paying to house and feed them in the meantime.

91% of the victims of rape and sexual assault are female, and 9% are male.
In eight out of 10 cases of rape, the victim knew the person who sexually assaulted them.

They called it Easter. Ukraine still got drones and blackouts.
Read today’s daily overview: Ukraine agreed to mirror ceasefire steps, but Russia used the day as cover. Ukrainian strikes reached from occupied Luhansk to the Caspian-linked oil chain and deep Russian war infrastructure.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

Zelensky to Vance: that's not a "scrap of land." It has 200,000 people, fortifications, and is exactly where Russia wants its next bridgehead.
"Every square meter of our land is Ukrainian land and, with all due respect to any of our partners, it is definitely not theirs."
No misreading that.
