I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

The "well at least if he wins he'll vote like a normie dem" people are delusional. The man has had two consistent political beliefs his entire life: white supremacy and male supremacy. You are in fantasy land if you think the recent heel turn to leftism is permanent just because you agree with it.

The way their go-to example is the user “romancing” the likeness of a dead woman who cannot consent to be used this way is ghoulish and chilling.

It’s chud city in my mentions right now because of this.

Skill issue!

Republicans got a trifecta and invented a mandate and spent the first two years of Trump's term manically occupied with dismantling as much of the government and killing as many people as humanly possible, why are we continuing to pretend withholding appropriations would be considered a punishment?

It's way past the point where people need to start getting it through their heads that Republicans, to a person, are ontologically evil and that any solution predicated on appealing to their innate sense of morality or belief in the republic will fail.

That's right

Speaking of sanewashing.

Well at least Neera Tanden didn’t tweet about it.

There are Evelyn Normielibs everywhere for those with eyes to see them.

Visibly frowning and shaking my head as I deliver legal analysis of SCOTUS decisions in plain language for social media so readers know I don’t agree with the systematic dismantling of our human rights.

Learning about three cueing really made the scales fall from my eyes on why so many people can't parse the most straightforward, uncomplicated sentences.

It is just straight-up misogyny and antisemitism to insist that Janet Mills, a term-limited governor and career politician, would have been absent political ambition if not for the scheming machinations of Chuck Schumer.

Bluesky is a machine designed to endlessly replicate 2016 tumblr social justice discourse.

This litmus test was invented by people who secretly want to impress others with the unconveyable complexity and inscrutability of their jobs.

Erik, thank you. We almost let 24 hours elapse focused on Chavez, but you were brave enough to say what everyone else was too afraid to: the raped and traumatized woman who was forced to give up two children suffered long term effects from the decades of abuse and was, in fact, a Bad Victim.

On Monday, three girls filed a class-action lawsuit against xAI alleging that the company’s Grok AI tool was used to generate child sexual abuse material from their photos.

Put everything else (lol) aside for a moment: has anyone even attempted an argument for why someone with absolutely no experience as an elected official should start their career in the United States Senate of all places. You've never even been on a local school board and now you get a SCOTUS vote?

Town meeting days, a day-long form of deliberative democracy that reads as the antidote to authoritarianism, are a New England tradition. However, they also predate all disability civil rights laws, which can be painfully clear to disabled people, who face a wide range of prohibitive access issues.

He didn't know it was a Nazi symbol... He didn't know that person he retweet was a Holocaust denier... He didn't know that the guy wearing the 88 shirt was a Nazi... Ok well he sounds like a fucking idiot then, what do you want me to tell you?

We have got to make men lonelier.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Seeing other countries arresting monarchs, convicting insurrectionists..........

Multiverse of Madness. Hamfisted fan service that completely undid everything interesting and envelope-pushing they did with WandaVision. My interest in the MCU was already on its last legs but that killed it dead forever.

Not only is this not happening, the opposite is true. I got pushed facebook post from SETH MOULTON the other day touting his sponsorship of a trans bill of rights when a year ago he was dipping his toes into the "protect girls in sports" waters.

Children deserve access to mandatory reporters. They deserve spaces where they can explore who they are and experiment and grow. They deserve to see adults other than their parents as trusted authority figures. They deserve moments with friends that their parents never even hear about.

I think it’s just because he’s Hispanic but I don’t have PhD in my display name

Sure!

What you won't give up the price of a few lattes so we can cut a check for god's specialist boy?

It sure would be nice if one of my two senators wasn't actively lying to pander for votes because he's getting primaried.

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.

lol okay www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Crazy how no one who works for ICE has ever created anything of beauty or value in their whole lives.

Ten years of Trumpism and year two of his second administration and we still have ostensibly smart people pretending his cruelty and promises of violent retribution against his enemies weren't both glaringly obvious and central to his appeal to his voters.

Chris Hayes reporting on people protesting Chuck Schumer to demand he do something he already committed to doing is a real layer cake of uselessness.

Probably going to be essential for the coming weeks.

These monsters are sick.

President Make-a-Wish bragging that people he hired will report to him.

He needs It to not happen every second of every day, but we only need It to happen once

it's probably nothing. it's probably not something funny. it's probably not the case he got his pants stuck in the tray table. he probably didn't get his pants stuck in the tray table then he waddled and tripped and split his pants down the middle. they're probably not turning around because of that

"Premature" is a really interesting way to describe "clear eyed and correct from the jump"

"So how many genders are there?" At least three, and three bloodbath elections in defending them. Don't play games with me, kid.
