yesterday in NYC, jewish voice for peace organized a protest against arms sale to israel. 90 people got detained after a traffic sit in held right in front of chuck schumer's office. as usual, chelsea manning has the coolest perp walk photos. cop's name is "anger" lmfao.

stop kissing pope ass he is a bigot

“Our religion is supposed to be about hate!” The Pope is the current hero of the culture wars but for the record he still sucks on trans people and has decreed that all Catholic hospitals cease doing trans healthcare, so get better heroes.

ACAB except fashion police

this is a great example of a business reacting to political/corporate shifts as though they are populist shifts. they did correctly read the signs of a nationwide rollback on LGBTQ rights! they just failed to account for how many people are FUCKING FURIOUS about that and will fight you over it

Hi! I'm doing a piece for @motherjones.com on the closure of SELF and the loss of impactful chronic illness content. Email me at [email protected]: 1. If you've been staff/freelanced for them and want to talk about the work you've done 2. Want to talk about what their content means to you.

Welp, I was called “inspiring” today by someone who doesn’t know me enough to say that sincerely. I hate it!

Marvel just fired their entire visual development team. All the artists who made this possible. #Marvel

congress is like a really shitty play where all the actors have been encouraged to improv as much as they want

🎧LEVER TIME: The secret 40-year plot to bury you in tax paperwork & force you to pay accountants - rather than letting the IRS send you your completed tax returns like other countries do. This story is enraging - it's a GOP plot to enrich tax prep companies & make you hate taxes.

Torching the The Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine is akin to burning the Library of Alexandria and wiping our digital memory - at a moment when media corporations and the government want to hermetically seal us in a bubble of their propaganda. We cannot let this happen.

An HBO documentary exposing “dark money” in American politics just earned an Emmy nomination. It cites The Lever’s reporting — and credits us in the film. This is the system we’ve been investigating for years.

Around *1/5* of all the species that live in a natural forest need dead wood. So no, it's not 'wasted' or 'untidy'. Even in your garden, spare a thought and leave it for them.

This is such a perfect combination of posts.

(Guys, I can’t find anything suggesting Leavitt actually said the “doctored” thing. I think that post was a joke.)

the tiniest astronaut I’ve ever painted

Cognitive impairments are already so damn stigmatized, let’s try not to add any more baseless smears.

Discursive pet peeve of the week: the lead paint theory of Gen X’s shitty politics. Being cognitively impaired and being hateful are not the same, and equating intellectual superiority with moral superiority is still eugenics when the left does it.

The increase is across the board. One of the many reasons the fascists won't win. www.wbez.org/lgbtq/2026/0...

there was the commissioning and then canceling of that Pride collection by queer and trans artists, then there was the DEI rollback, now it’s AI-driven false arrests. Target is setting land-speed records for torching customer goodwill, given how high their popularity and how far they had to fall

"fully complied with 25%" uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This is more than legislation. This work is personal to me. theonion.com/illinois-bec...

this is called "being blackout drunk"

This is amazing... Dr Ioannidis (9 April 2020): "I would say that COVID-19 will result in fewer than 40,000 deaths this season in the USA." Dr Howard: "The USA reached 40,000 COVID deaths the next week."

Remember when some anti-climate collapse kids confronted Dianne Feinstein and she was like “well tough shit”

The Chicago Police Department by the end of 2025 had fully complied with 25% of the court order that requires CPD to stop routinely violating Black and Latino residents’ constitutional rights. https://to.wttw.com/4cJVdOM

Roan demonstrated more moral courage than many powerful people in her decision to leave a talent agency after reports revealed the exec’s ties to Ghislaine Maxwell. Yet she received far more social backlash over a non-event than praise after taking a material risk for the sake of her principles.

It's Your Daily Imani+!☀️ Tuesday, April 14, 2026 Imani and Pippin are confirmed present at Montrose today. Thanks to all for giving the boys their space. We will be updating Imani's ID picture. His violet band is no longer present. 🤍⭐️

he doesn’t understand anything he can’t just handle like a hostile takeover in business. you show up with a lot of guns and bluster and everyone decides they don’t have the tenacity to fight you so they just surrender. he’s confused whenever it doesn’t work like that, like with Iran

“I #MaskUp because I don’t want to become further disabled by another infection.”—Melissa Mazur @phillyphile215.bsky.social, a first wave COVID long hauler who got sick in March 2020 and never got better. Read Interview by @MsJulieSLam.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DXFc5ecEcvD/

The main reason for this is when experts (like me) tell bosses that AI isn’t a suitable replacement for search, they start screaming, crying, throwing up and telling us we have stop being scared of the inevitable future and start 10X grindmaxxing 996. when we tell them that’s dumb, they fire us

you can't claim to be an ally to trans people and keep kissing the pope's ass. the church banned ALL gender affirming care in ALL catholic hospitals (and there are way too many of them, often the only option in rural areas) being from Chicago does not make him cool or a good person
