At the risk of my mentions staying a nightmare for the entire weekend… A follow up thread on the types of behaviors I think have made my puppy wary of white men strangers:

I did a bit of very minor digging and Taylor Farms also sells under the brands Earthbound Farm and Eat Smart. In addition to Taco Bell they also supply to Chipotle, McDonald's, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster. Are these compromised? Who fucking knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ but better safe than sorry.

Canadians and Northern USers, you would be shocked how well these work! Please, please, if you have the time and the money, make one.

I post about sexual violence on this app on a regular basis. But the vitriol reserved for women who acknowledge casual misogyny is unparalleled.

I’ve had a puppy for a month now. We take him to the same coffee shop every Saturday morning. That’s all it took for him to develop a preference for everyone-but-white-men. Because everyone but white men will say hi to a wiggly puppy in one pleasant way or another.

HEY TERFS ARE YOU PLEASED REMEMBER HOW WE SAID THAT EVERYONE'S LIBERATION IS BOUND UP TOGETHER BECAUSE EVERYONE'S SAFETY AND THRIVING IS ONE SINGLE THING AND NONE OF US ARE TRULY SEPARATE AND EVERYONE SHARES THE SAME ENEMY Do you remember that can you see it yet, like

"After enduring months of anti-ICE protests at its bank offices, Citizens Financial Group is parting ways with two for-profit prison operators that oversee detention facilities for the federal immigration enforcement agency." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/17/b...

I am a climate scientist and, same.

Yup. The public needs to get organized & local People's Assemblies in each state are a way to begin. Start collecting testimonies of ICE's impact in your state. Invite all who attend to get behind a campaign to fire everyone in ICE during the first week of any potential Dem presidency. Begin now.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

I'm getting really sick of seeing rapists just get to promote rape on TV and in the government day in and day out with no consequences or truly any reaction at all at this point

“Based on simple math, these outbreak responses—which require rapid, timely responses—are going to be greatly diminished,” the former CDC lab director tells WIRED. www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

I think a lot about how 21st century fascism and the male grievance politics it channels is about men feeling like they don't get away with rape enough already.

"After boarding a handful of boats — stuffed to the brim with people and pets — community members drove across the lake as their entire First Nation burned to the ground behind them. " www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is shitty on a bunch of levels but friendly reminder we depend on Canada and vice versa to help fight fires. This kind of rhetoric isn't helping anything.

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

For a lot of these food recalls and outbreaks, we’re still in the first year of what deregulation looks like. All of DOGE’s cuts led us here—and fast. There was a level of basic health and safety we took for granted that unregulated corporations will never provide for us on their own.

I represent organizers who have been beaten, pepper sprayed, and assaulted by ICE. They still go out every day to help their people. We will sue, but some combo of a truth and reconciliation process along with massive cash reparations for the victims of these fascists has to be on the table.

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

5-year-old Camila's crayon drawings in detention look just like my 5-year-old's drawings. We need this to end, and then we need prosecutions for everybody who had a hand in harming these families. www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Put another way, the entire adult userbase is going to have to upload their IDs to sketchy third-party companies and link their identities to their online activity to stop a few dozen kids from accessing a platform that is mainly left-leaning news and commentary. What problem is this solving?

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

Also, it does not matter if Russ Vought is against DEI policies, if Congress has instructed NIH take to into account health disparities in an assessment of a grant. An executive order cannot overcome a formal statement by Congress. Somebody needs to point that out to him.

"meeting people where they are" means you have to accept that they sincerely believe what they believe. It does NOT mean that you have to pretend to agree with their beliefs. In fact, you must be honest when you don't. Grown ups have to deal with people who don't agree with them all of the time.

Another thing I have come to believe is that closing jails also serves an important purpose -- jails create misery, kill people, and they make it easier to deport. To wit, this event. www.haymarketbooks.org/events/819-h...

As an immunosuppressed person I’m so angry at everyone responsible for the CDC’s non-response to the Cyclospora outbreak. We have no guidelines, just news articles sharing long lists of foods to avoid because they’ve been associated with outbreaks in the past. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so stupid.

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

it's not an own to point out that all these fucking guys trying to deny trans people their hormones are so into HGH and whatnot. they don't care either way about 'gender affirming care.' they want to be he-men and they want trans people to die. to them the two projects are perfectly coherent

When a man says he was “falsely accused,” he probably actually means “I think I should be allowed to do that to a woman.”

In order to sue the federal government after being assaulted or unlawfully arrested by federal agents, you first need to file an administrative claim then wait six months. A Minneapolis teacher arrested on Jan. 7 outside his school, is starting down that long path. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I just keep thinking about how Republicans want to end no-fault divorce. And just how many of them were (and are) opposed to the criminalization of marital rape.

People still wonder why young women are increasingly wary of (heterosexual) marriage and parenthood. But admissions like this make it clear that there simply aren't enough good men to go around.

In my research with young men, a lot of them kept saying, “It wasn’t rape—it was just nonconsensual.” An act of sexual violence became “just nonconsensual” when a friend perpetrated it. And it wasn’t long before more people in the friend group came to see it as okay for them to perpetrate too.

I got cyclospora in 2015 after travel. This is the first article I’ve read that has properly communicated how hard it can be to get diagnosed and how long it can last without treatment. It took me six weeks to get diagnosed and I was sick the whole time. I lost something like 30 pounds.

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

No one wants to hear it but tracking everyone in your life is pretty much the gateway drug to the Armageddon you’re so afraid of.

I think people understandably but magically believe that surveilling your loved ones will protect them from harm because it promises knowledge and control. But when you get more knowledge but little actual control, your anxiety goes through the roof

Assimilation isn't a prerequisite for birthright citizenship not even for naturalization, frankly. Folks that go down the assimilation train are telling you that they're a white supremacist.

"Everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes" In my experience lots of people are ok to do the dishes and they're heroes and usually they are women, because women don't see that work as shameful. But men do not see that leadership as leadership and so women get fed up and leave.

This is a disaster created by the GOP. It's important to identify the culprits. It was directly created by them as POLICY. They clearly articulated that this was what they hoped to accomplish. gothamist.com/news/food-pa...

No, this really really really is rape

This morning, I was notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 53th death on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We must continue to fight for accountability for everyone who has lost a loved one. And it’s time to end the use of all for-profit detention centers.

i actually have no trouble believing that all of adam carolla’s friends are rapists. that totally tracks, honestly. i don’t know why he’s telling us about it though.

NEVER FORGET the debt we all owe to the Miccosukee Tribe, without whom it would still be open. And never forget that Indigenous sovereignty and all our safety and flourishing are forever intertwined.

Breaking: A federal court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an immigration policy targeting noncitizen researchers, advocates, fact-checkers, and trust and safety workers based on their work. knightcolumbia.org/content/fede...

We can stop this. We can stop so much of it. We must get the power to never let it happen again.

This is a state sponsored murder-spree.

“It was the third death in about a week involving encounters with ICE agents, following shootings in Texas and Maine.” Three deaths in a week is not a coincidence. A few months from now, we’ll learn about some new horrific directive thar intensified ICE’s violence.
