This rocket shit makes me so emotional LOL I will never not be overwhelmed by the incredible achievements of the human mind.

NEW from LCRW: Christy Gafford worked 40-60 hour weeks for Sean Feucht's ministry projects like Burn 24/7 and Let Us Worship. She never got paid. She spoke to @katerqburns.bsky.social about the financial and spiritual abuse rampant in Feucht's projects.

Today's anti-trans Supreme Court ruling is an example of what we call gender fascism. Nothing is more dangerous to young people than forcing them into roles that don't fit their needs. Legislation and state violence wouldn't be necessary to impose these norms if the norms were really “natural.”

If I protect a child or make sure they can access life-saving healthcare it's "grooming" but torturing children is "free speech". In 2026 if you can't see the USA as the evil empire founded on slavery and genocide that it's always been, it's because you choose not to see.

Outting Kristi Noem's husband as a bimbo sissy on Trans Day of Visibility. I think that goes against the spirit of the holiday.

"Stop overreacting, they're never going to do that."

Our second essay from returning contributor Lane Silberstein examines the NBA's ties with Israel. Solidarity with Palestinians and confronting American imperialism, he writes, will also require a confrontation with the seemingly mundane parts of American life that enable war.

In honor of "Arguably the worst stretch of basketball in NBA history" by the Orlando Magic we're re-sharing last week's essay from contributor Lane Silberstein

Ben Gvir's equivalent in US politics would be literally if the leader of the Aryan Nations splinter group The Order were elected to Congress and given a cabinet position instead of dying in a shootout with the FBI. It's difficult to explain how much of a supremacist extremist Ben Gvir is.

lol an AfD member confessed to setting fire to his own car and forging an alleged threatening letter from Antifa and the party now wants to expel him www.spiegel.de/politik/afd-...

Prosecutors are also investigating Gregory Bovino, the outgoing Border Patrol commander who was the face of the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota and who was seen on video lobbing smoke canisters into crowds in Minneapolis.

NEW from LCRW: #nokings protests this weekend were strange vistas foreshadowing stranger days ahead—bluesanon conspiracy theories spread in Thousand Oaks, LAPD brutalized people again, and Nazis stalked the crowd in Portland. @jwcroxton.bsky.social @rsands161.bsky.social Mary Bell & our EIC report

Body cam videos of a Border Patrol chase in Chicago last fall appear to contradict the initial DHS narrative of agents executing a PIT maneuver—a nudging at high speed to disable a fleeing driver. Instead, feds blew a tire and crashed after a supervisor told them to stop the pursuit:

To be clear for the uninformed and the non-Jews: when non-Jews angrily calls themselves “goyim” in reference to Jews, it’s as plain to those who know as “1488” or Pepe the frog. It’s not just antisemitism; it’s Nazism, which targets all living things.

Hello from sunny and hot West Hollywood. We are here at West Hollywood Park opposite the Pacific Design Centre and LASD HQ for the No Kings protest. It’s set to kick off at 11am a few people rolling into the park now- cars driving past beeping.

Heyo, I am here at St. James Park in #SanJoséCA for the third iteration of #NoKings protests that span from the U.S., across Europe, and in other big cities like Tokyo and Nairobi. So far, there's an estimated 2-3k people with folks arriving in droves from all directions.

The correlation between being a Jan 6er and being a pedophile is incredible, it must be like several standard deviations outside what you’d expect just based on chance

So NYT’s position is they know the AMA’s stance better than the AMA themselves?

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

NEW: Last October, Border Patrol agents gassed Chicagoans after agents caused a major car crash on the southeast side. I analyzed body cam videos that show agents Benito Nunez, Oscar Guillen, and Carlos Chavira ignored orders to end the pursuit—moments before they blew a tire and crashed.

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico jury finds Meta's platforms are harmful to children's mental health and imposes $375 million penalty.

Boosting this again! We're hoping to get his dental work by June and every donation helps!

Many of you followed me because my post about adopting Zeppole got a lot of traction, and now, he needs your help! Zepp needs dental work, including multiple extractions, in order to live his best life. The vet estimated a max cost of $2,300 for this. Donate/share if you can! gofund.me/1d740f9e

These aren't ICE agents, they're local cops, which just illustrates how deep the rot goes. It didn't start with ICE. It's all cops.

this man truly wouldn’t know what a spine was if it slapped him across the face

INBOX: It took exactly twenty days for California Gov. Gavin Newsom to walk back his comments describing Israel as an "apartheid" state, a position held by the experts working for the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

what if we dismantled TSA too lol

all your favorite liberals who denied the Gaza genocide for years (and denied denying it) now really want you to know about the scourge of "left-wing antisemitism" of... tracking AIPAC lobbying.

do you like lesbians and klezmer music? well have i got the shirt for you

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to put on a tactical vest and go to the newark airport at 6 am on monday. your order is to wander around like a confused oaf. when a mom drops her sandwich at jersey mike's and scares you, pull out your gun and start shooting. good luck soldier

ICE agents deployed to nation's swamped airports to stand around and do nothing: defector.com/ice-agents-d...

It's probably a good idea to listen to the people who were saying "abolish ICE" ten years ago and pay attention to what dangers they're pointing out now and maybe get on board with that stuff too

rip robert mueller you taught me it was okay to do nothing when faced with the most consequential task of my life

There is nothing else going on in the world worth asking anyone about

He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary.

If I saw this thing I would drop kick it into oblivion

Getting outflanked from the left by fucking Fox News

i think it's so cool how every publisher just got the genius idea to make news without journalists

Joe Kent is a fascist and con-artist

Y’all…I just…the growing antisemitism on the left and the acceptance of it. The way people shrugged and ignored the synagogue attack. The way people made excuses. The endless Platner shit. The way y’all warp and defend Jew hate. The way you don’t even see yourselves doing it. It’s eating me alive.

these are the best reporters in the country, give them whatever the fuck they want www.status.news/p/cbs-news-l...

Just going to float this out there, but this also seems like as good a time as any for the UFW to maybe update the design of their flag so it doesn't cause a jump scare
