Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

that last line

this is the list of ideological identifiers laid out in the NSPM-7 that would predict violence, and are all of course, incredibly reasonable positions or just ridiculous framing, like “extremism on gender” which is just being pro-trans:

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Here’s all you need to know about her without the sanity filter of WaPo editors: www.importantcontext.news/p/trumps-new...

Did Gavin Newsom write this

"Since this new administration took office, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities has increased at triple the normal rate of unemployment."

if the democratic party starts stepping away trans people they might as well sign this country away to the far right forever

NEW: If you've ever fought with your health insurer -- and, let's be honest, who hasn't? -- then this explainer on external reviews from @deldeib.bsky.social of @propublica.org will surely help you. www.propublica.org/article/heal...

Well, Newsom has a great opportunity to help homeless trans people right now by signing a bill that would help combat anti-LGBTQ discrimination in state homelessness programs that we reported on, AB 678! And many other bills that help all trans people. Go yell at him! www.gov.ca.gov/contact/

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

Everyone was in agreement that they did not believe in Hell anymore per se. Was it even mentioned in the Bible after all? But also that they nevertheless wished that it were in fact real. If only for the sake of these goddamned bastards.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

Yep, this is exactly what I'd have expected. Great article from Ken.

NEW: Two men were found hanging from trees in Mississippi on Tuesday—a Black student at Delta State University in Cleveland and a homeless white man in Vicksburg. Police say the deaths aren't connected, but speculation has spread on social media like wildfire.

they literally want to round us up man. can democrats please get a fucking spine and stand the fuck up for us now? we literally cannot counter this ourselves when they want our voices and rights taken away. please do fucking something

"White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed Friday that he and President Donald Trump would use this week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk to “dismantle” the organized left using state power."

Look at us staring at our screens like fools, searching for coherence in the politics of very online murder guys in their twenties.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Don’t bother having empathy for Charlie Kirk. He literally didn’t believe in the concept of empathy. In his own words: “I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage."

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

As if you needed another reason to be angry at RFK Jr. today: There are signals he wants to blow up the "liability shield" that has kept the U.S. vaccine industry strong for the last forty years (and has sped payments to harmed patients). Hugely dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/hhs-kenned...

Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

We just learned about a 3rd dimension of how Covid can affect our arteries. erictopol.substack.com/p/covid-and-...

"Now, in the case of breast cancer, new research published in the medical journal 'Nature' suggests that common respiratory viruses, like the flu and COVID, can reactivate dormant cancer cells in the lungs and lead to metastatic disease within a couple of weeks." www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-...

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

HI I AM DELETING THIS APP Thank you for being my friends in my phone! Byeeeee

NEW: In response to orders by the Trump admin, the CDC has taken down the Household Pulse Survey, one of the biggest and most important sources of Long COVID data in the world. The US government is literally erasing the existence of Long COVID.

We’re in the final days before Trump takes office on behalf of the wealth class. Here’s a brief guide to preparing for what’s coming, starting to organize, scrutinizing media as oligarchical propaganda, and getting mentally and emotionally prepared. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/preparing-...

"Seriously, I don’t care how much it costs. Take every dime I have. But know this: I would level my house to the ground before I paid slightly higher property taxes to fund infrastructure that would prevent a landslide from leveling my house to the ground."

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

“‘Those people …’ Donald said, trailing off. ‘The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.’”

Trump, in a private meeting with his nephew in 2020, said regarding disabled people, "Those people, the shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die." I am not surprised he thinks this and I'm not surprised he said it, and I'm glad his nephew revealed it.

“These deaths are caused by factors such as malnutrition, lack of medication, and unsanitary living conditions — the reverberations of warfare, which follow inevitably and predictably from it.”
