Pope Leo XIV: ‘There Couldn’t Be A Better Time To Get The Fuck Out Of America Forever’

Credible reports of at least 3 Indian Air Force jets downed. This counts as significant losses given the extreme difficulty with which such assets can be replaced. Unlikely this tempo can be maintained for very long without serious change in strategy.

Another good thread debunking viral disinfo about ongoing hostilities between India / Pakistan

It wasn’t just one night. Terrorizing immigrant communities is the new normal now. Tennessee is not a swing state, but we are the tip of the spear of Trump’s fascism with the help of @TNHighwayPatrol @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP. Pay attention.

Question: Why would anyone come watch the World Cup or the Olympics here, when we have made it clear so many are not welcome?

It's impolite to judge this party. They having a losing kink and we must respect it.

Apparently this needs to be said but you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to have a sexual preference with genitals. And nobody should be shamed for their preferences. HOWEVER, a persons identity is NOT dependent on whether or not you want to fuck them.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

1/ For ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for public service, we reported on five pregnant women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans. These are their stories 🧵

The open fighting between India and Pakistan looks as bad as it's been in a long long time. India claiming to have hit nine targets inside Pakistan, Pakistan claiming to have downed two jets and hit an airbase. Every possibility things get worse from here.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

The problem with the left is all the word policing

“But an investigation by ProPublica and CBS News found that the system that funnels a growing pot of state money to anti-abortion nonprofits has few safeguards and is riddled with waste.”

Every review of youth gender medicine is just, "there's evidence that this helps and no evidence that this causes harm, but here's why that doesn't count."

“President Trump's federal government has spent more than $200 billion more in his first 100 days compared to the same time period last year. In fact, the government is now spending more, day to day, than was spent in nine of the last 10 years.”

Republicans are pushing to restrict abortion pills based on a garbage new 'study.' We’ve seen fake data like this reach SCOTUS—but if we make it politically toxic now, we might stop it before it spreads. Feel free to steal these images, or read the full debunk in my newsletter

There's a new conservative study purporting to prove that abortion medication is dangerous. Let's talk about why it's horseshit. To start, it's published by a conservative think tank, not peer-reviewed, and contradicts decades of credible research showing mifepristone is safe

i would even argue it's pretty common for Americans to see what's happening in Gaza as a genocide. NYT reporters and the visual investigations team have documented aspects of that genocide well. The owners and editors just don't want anyone to call it that.

attorneys with one of the state's largest public defense law firms are based as hell it turns out only an idiot would consider it a scandal for public defenders to say "fuck the police"

Yes. In a sane media environment, the bathroom ban would be the end of anyone treating 'gender critical feminists' as anything other than a hate group. It's a straightforwardly bigoted policy that imposes an insane 'solution' to a nonexistent problem.

since this came out ICE arrested a judge and the DOJ declared ICE can enter anyone's home without a warrant so i have not gotten less convinced things are getting much hotter very quickly

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

what a brilliant and definitely useful technology

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Japan straight dunking on the current US regime. Heads up, the posted video has an IA translation. The original video with English sub is in the comments.

The core characteristic of conspiracy theories is incoherence: COVID was a chinese bioweapon... but also coordinated by fauci so he could do lockdowns... but it's also mild and the death numbers were faked...

current news got me thinking about this story from last year

🎯

Oh no. Consequences.

…

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

Remember, folks, this kid saved the future because he didn't rat on John Connor to a cop, even if he didn't like him. Also, remember that old adage that our parents told us as kids about not talking to strangers. Adversor et admorsus ✊️ 🔥 #ACAB #ResistAndBite

so much of the fascist movement country is supported by the belief that parents own their children and have a right to ensure they turn out a specific way

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Someone pulled this up from the recesses of the Internet, I think I originally posted it nearly a decade ago, and it's still true

Ope.

THIS. #HandsOff

To all those dorks that said "violence never fixes anything!" I would like to offer a counter-argument:

You can read the full story at the newsletter, but here's the quick rundown of what's coming from the Trump admin on Title X tomorrow. What a nightmare:

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately". He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting. Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

Art is inherently political. Setting safe boundaries is healthy. Rules shape play. Cozy, crunchy, whatever is a preference; people are allowed to have tastes. The old garbage people are still garbage people. Conflict/tension can take many forms. Am I caught up on #TTRPG discourse now? 😂

Without downloading new pictures, where are you at mentally.

“The motion filed against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and [ICE], said federal agents arrested at least one person without probable cause. Attorneys also accused the federal government of making arrests without proper warrants and creating warrants in the field after the arrests.”

“Articles about the renowned Native American Code Talkers have disappeared from some military websites, with several broken URLs now labeled ‘DEI.’”
