I find myself deep within this exercise like once or twice a month, maybe more. To all my fellow ADHD/demand avoidance baddies out there (especially Black folks), this is really helpful for me—hope you benefit from it too. Please take care of yourselves, team. You are enough. 🖤🖤

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

This is horrific and cruel, and seems to be designed to justify the incarceration of trans folks.

Today I find myself very angry at those people who have the luxury and privilege to avoid the news because it “doesn’t affect them”. I’m angry at the people who dismissed all of the warnings and evidence presented over the last decade+ about the nightmares currently unfolding.

I feel like these two pieces together are kind of a big, terrifying deal… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

I was expecting this SOTU would be bizarre, but even with that expectation, this is some really weird shit.

My (adult) kid and I put together a bingo card for tonight’s State of the Union. I predict we’ll have a Bingo within the first 10 minutes.

Trump: "I can do anything I want to do to them ... I'm allowed to destroy the country."

I love working in a nonprofit newsroom and partnering with other local publications & organizations. I published a story about The Invisible Toll of Caregiving in this state, and 3 other newspapers (including my hometown Fort Wayne Journal Gazette!) co-ran it. mirrorindy.org/caregivers-h...

My Trans Bill of Rights protects the freedom for all trans people to live as their full, authentic selves. It’s time to get this passed!

A beautiful and deeply important piece. Please read.

The Trans Bill of Rights would guarantee federal protections for trans people. Send the message and urge your members of Congress in the House and the Senate to co-sponsor the Trans Bill of Rights: christopherstreetproject.org/tbor

⚠️ Rep. Thomas Massie: “I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I'm a pretty good swimmer.”

I’ve spent 50+ years feeling like i am "wired wrong" I’ve realised "wrong" is just code for "unprofitable." Capitalism doesn't want humans; it wants standardised units. If you don't fit the social, neurological or economic box, you are seen as a glitch in the machine. 1/6

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?

Pam Bondi must have been jealous of Kristi Noem's reputation as the most soulless and horrible member of Trump's Cabinet and decided to take the title back.

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

From the ‘pRoTeCt wOmEn’ group. These people don’t give a f*€k about women.

Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

Listening to AG Pam Bondi testifying before Congress. This nation is entirely done. She’s yelling at Congressmen, calling people hypocrites to their faces. No decorum. No order. Just mayhem. And goddamn JIM JORDAN is the chair of this committee—he enabled sexual abuse at Ohio State.

My heart goes out to the Epstein survivors who are currently being revictimized by AG Bondi’s hostile performance and the GOP’s explicit pedophile protection agenda. As a survivor of sexual assault, it is painful to watch this performance, and to once again realize there is no justice to be found.

The disrespect that Pam Bondi shows to survivors and to members of Congress is disgusting. Sickening. Vile.

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

Thank you @jayapal.house.gov for fighting for the survivors and holding Bondi to account.

This is the most amazing thread. Long but oh so worth it. The cat did return.

“According to the Al Jazeera Arabic investigation, The Rest of the Story, Civil Defence teams in Gaza have documented 2,842 Palestinians who have “evaporated” since the war began in October 2023, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.”

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

I want to know, does the acting director of ICE think he’s going to hell?

Listening to the GOP clutch their pearls, justifying their campaign of terror as protecting women and children, in the same breath they participate and cover up the actual trafficking, abuse, and murder of women and children is sickening. There will be no accountability, and it fills me with rage.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

I think a lot about how so many atrocities and indignities will remain hidden from public sight due to the dismantling of news media. I know that's the point but it truly disturbs my spirit.

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

The destruction of independent media outlets and the attempts to bring higher education to heel are part of a united authoritarian strategy designed to destroy checks on their propaganda.

"we are all responsible for what happens in our community"

I didn’t think it was possible to make calling the pharmacy and reaching a human being even harder and more frustrating, but AI agents have really done it. Makes me miss those torturous “For pharmacy, press 1” answering systems. And what I wouldn’t give for a human on the line from the start!!

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

“There is no conceivable degree of institutional incompetence sufficient to explain the scale, consistency, and persistence of the failures that occurred —particularly where the sole task ordered by the Court and repeatedly emphasized by DOJ was simple: redact known victim names before publication,”

A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM." @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Full story by @samleecole.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/doj-released...

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you
