If you read an amazing article from Teen Vogue about politics in the last several years, chances are that Lex McMenamin wrote it. Any publication that is serious about meeting this moment would be lucky to have them.

Especially when during the Ghomeshi trial, the fact that the victims spoke to each other before the trial was considered collusion! Meanwhile, men on the same hockey team who shared the same night texting this is somehow a non-issue.

Here's my quick advice on refuting garbage today:

“The practical effect of the EHRC's guidance is intended to force those who want to be kind to the trans community to be unkind to the trans community, which is a bizarre thing for a government department to want to do” says Jo Maugham @goodlawproject.org www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...

Good news guys

The things people want in order to have kids are things the left would like to give them and the right would like to burn down. Healthy environment, social safety net, stable access to non-bankrupting medical care, thriving society, not killing the planet, stuff like that.

yeah, weird that the left wasn’t present at the Fourteen Words conference

She has broken ZERO LAWS and she is now imprisoned because she wrote an op-ed.

“I think this is the first time a Cdn poli has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control research topics. It could be a very terrible time for us.” Sound familiar? In Cdn election, Poilievre vows to end ’woke ideology’ in science funding www.science.org/content/arti...

A Florida high school teacher has been fired for using a student's chosen name instead of their deadname, a first under a 2023 law signed by Ron DeSantis. “She is a beloved teacher that changed her students’ lives” said one parent leading a petition with 7,400 signatures demanding her reinstatement

This is CHILLING, the secretary of the Interior is saying we don't need to worry about extinction anymore! Just call Colossal! They made dire wolves so they can take care of the wolf, or bear or whatever! Go get your trophies, we can clone more! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

This a gobsmacking list of data types, and I say that as someone who's followed the DOGE's work closely. The DOGE is an existential threat to privacy as against the federal government (and beyond).

The number of American adults in the labour force with a disability since Covid

What a rich text

Also love seeing drag queens front and centre at the Junos

dude u guys are about to get creamed. just fucking YOLO it to the left bro lol we already have a liberal party

Sorry. I lied. Here it is. People in the comments were right: the administration is taking advantage of Hegseth's security violation to take the first giant step down the road to ensuring we never have free or fair elections again

AND THERE IT IS FOLKS (Not a "this is an unimportant" distraction, a "quick do something shocking and horrific and genuinely dangerous" distraction)

Unlike Mahmoud Khalil, she wasn’t even a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement! She just attended some of them. So yeah, the US government is seeking to deport a person here on a green card since she was a child because she went to a protest. Joe McCarthy would be proud.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

This is so fucking bleak.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

The Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is now a propaganda machine. bookriot.com/imls-propaga...

99-0. Every single senator voted to confirm this ghoul.

From many different angles Washington DC is emerging as a free fire zone for right wing violence precisely because it's not a state

NEW: Vaccines. Bird Flu. COVID. Autism. Peanut Allergies. Fluoride. Environmental justice. Cancer Moonshot. These and other “controversial" or "sensitive” topics will get extra scrutiny at the National Cancer Institute under RFK. From me + @lisalsong.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/nati...

how did ICE know where to find Mahmoud Khalil, and who will they go after next? I wrote about the vast surveillance network that powers ICE arrests, and the Zionist groups making deportation wishlists for the agency: www.theverge.com/policy/62718...

The more pushback they get, the more pushback they will get. And the more the aura of invincibility fades

♥️♥️

i honestly don't know much about the specifics of what this guy said and it could not matter less. the government does not have the right to do this to him. this has to be opposed vigorously. ignore anyone who tries to loop you into a discussion of the ethics of statement this guy made. immaterial.

i think it is entirely possible that JD Vance's team is Online enough that they saw lib_crusher's tweet and summoned a chaplain

i remember getting on a bus in SF and somebody said Reagan just died and i said ha ha good fucking riddance and a woman said well that's rude and i said fuck you lady and somebody else said yeah fuck you lady

ARE. ARE, YOU DUMBASS.

Look i can't in good conscience tell you to go out & find all the badly rendered rule 34 shrek/bee movie jpegs and 3D animation that exists and then upload it to this anti-"DEI" gov website because I don't think anyone should have to put themselves through that, but i can't really *Stop* you, either

🚨 Texas House Rep. Brent Money has introduced the first total ban on gender affirming care for all trans people in Texas. This is an unequivocal ban affecting all trans people by removing amending the existing ban on trans youth to apply to adults as well. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/...

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

The reason they use thinly veiled euphemism for racial sterilization is that the press will run the thinly veiled euphemism and never have the temerity to come out and say they’re pushing for the mass extermination of Black people through sterilization.

The US is talking about mass sterilisation – again A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse – his country has been here before Absolutely terrifying yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/t...

Gotta go over and speak with my uncles horse. Uncle thinks its got ennui. I'll get to the bottom of it.

I’m glad this asshole is finally getting called tf out.

Not that anyone needs me to say it, but: that is of course the point

This is the kind of monstrous, inhuman shit the Nazis did. "Israeli forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website HaMakom has revealed."

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...
