if you are having an acutely difficult time with what is happening in the news, there are some fairly decent coping strategies on this list if 5% of the list works for you, you'll have a decent library of tools to pull from be well, be strong we will win

stop what you're doing and let Amber Glenn take you to church #USPrevagenChamps #figureskating

There is a faction of Americans who are fine with people being shot for disobedience to authority. The penalty for trafficking drugs is not death The penalty for resisting arrest is not death The penalty for disobeying law enforcement is not death The penalty for civil disobedience is not death

Remember: "Deportations"/kidnappings to CECOT could not have happened without dehumanization of incarcerated people at home. Think about how the definition of crime & criminal has been expanded in 2025-Anyone can be subjected to this. Also this should NOT be done to those labeled criminals either

hello You, have you gotten a flu shot? as someone who was gonna do it and didn’t get to it in time and then got pneumonia, do not be like me!

The reason you go scorched-earth on this is the same reason we should have gone scorched-earth on impoundment; you can't stop it from happening, but you absolutely need to stop it from becoming a normal part of politics. You have to draw a line.

We have to impeach him.

take my leg and give it to Nate Frazier

My boyfriend believes Nick Saben is currently stealing Kalen Deboar's hat and giving Bama a good ole fashioned talking to

My man looks like he’s pitching Shark Tank on a game he calls Four Card Monte

I also have an expressive face that I am often moving in ways I’m not totally aware of, this is representation for our people

I must stop this Christmas from coming...but how?

A message for you all to carry through the year

Being extra mean about Bridget Bardot so beautiful famous women that are still alive remember to be chill and normal

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

As told by the late dancer and choreographer Agnes DeMille.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

This is a lie and bullshit. This is the same bullshit Disney pulled at it's parks. Making things ACCESSIBLE costs them money. So it's much better to astroturf this issue, make some shitty people think oh cool a hack I can use, get everyone else mad Then you can cut accessibility.

The photos of those Haitian refugees was his first big break, as they earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal award, which catapulted his career. But at the moment he took the images, he and the other men on the boat thought they were going to die. He had this to say about the experience:

stop trying to make villains acceptable!!! likable, relatable, whatever it is exactly i don’t care and i want it to stop. we don’t need their backstory. i want to know why mrs. potts had a tea set worth of kids and no partner. where’s the deadbeat coffee pot dad?!

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

the law is real until it gets to SCOTUS at which point it becomes fake, which doesn't bother the six reactionaries at the top but does undermine literally everyone else in the profession

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

For posterity, the triple high five skycam version

Miami fired Manny Diaz to make room for Mario Christobal and Diaz won an ACC Title before Christobal

7-5 Duke to Virginia

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

“It’s important to note the vaccine has been studied for decades, with evidence proving its efficacy and safety. A model by the Center for Disease Analysis Foundation found that delaying the first dose at birth would result in 99,000 preventable hepatitis B infections.”

This is one of many decisions that only makes sense if you see the court as a political body, where six Republicans are willing to overturn a well reasoned District Court opinion with a 2.5 page opinion, with the likely and intended effect being to determine that Republicans hold Congress

/10 The Supreme Court and the institutions supporting it being corrupt doesn't mean that you stop defending accused criminals or suing to get your client what they deserve or fighting for justice in lower courts. When Nazis occupied Paris we didn't raze it, we took it back.

/3 I am no longer inclined to spend time tinkering with the machinery of bigotry. It would be trivially easy to explain under a rules-based system how SCOTUS could come out one way on race in admissions and another in race in detentions. But it's still not worth the effort or the implied respect.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

Only tangentially related, but FUN FACT, gang: At least 9 Japanese medical schools, including the illustrious Tokyo Medical University, have been caught CHANGING THE SCORES on admission exams to exclude female applicants for the last 20 YEARS. This is real! It happened! www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

One of the drums I am going to keep beating is that the US needs to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ. Right now, we live in a time in which the president is immune and can grant immunity to basically anyone he wants. They are acting accordingly.

for World AIDS Day, a 1988 cartoon from the Advocate's Gerald Donelan

there is no need for any of this suffering. none at all. actupny.com/act-up-ny-an...

Today is World AIDS Day, which the Trump Admin is refusing to commemorate. AIDS was the issue that got me riled up about politics and health policy at a very young age growing up in the SF Bay Area. I re-read And the Band Played On during the pandemic (teaching it again in spring) and it's haunting.

today is the first time since 1988 that the united states is not observing world AIDS day in fact, per STAT, the state department has forbidden federal employees AND GRANTEES to not utilize any funding to promote or commemorate this day

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

this is terrible for the ACC as a conference but it’s tremendous content
