This is great stuff. Anyone who has kids or anticipates being in charge of kids at any point in life needs to heed this advice.

Abortion care has never been guaranteed in America, not even under Roe v. Wade, despite being essential to a functioning democracy and gender equality. https://bit.ly/4eDih2U

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

The fact that four justices endorse the ahistorical, atextual, anti-constitutional reading of the 14th Amendment means that this issue will not die today. Conservatives will now desperately hope to appoint someone untethered to any principle to the Court to undo this decision.

A Japanese fan broke down crying after his country's elimination, but a group of Brazilians fans went to console him and Mexican fans made him soar. You gotta love the World Cup! ❤️🌎⚽️ Video: RÉCORD

Today marks 4 years since SCOTUS ripped away reproductive freedom from women in America. We stand with @reprocaucus.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social with one clear message: Every woman in America deserves access to reproductive care.

Here's something.... youtu.be/z0rBB93sl58?...

Haven't backed an NBA team since Magic's Lakers, but I want this for NYC almost as much.

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

I waited a while to write this one. The time finally felt right.

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

Are you still using Meta systems? Maybe it's time to torch that (Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp) account now.

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

Again, that this stuff doesn’t immediately end his presidency is a total failure of Article I of the Constitution. A complete collapse of the polity.

I'm torn as to whether this is more satisfying than the Cybertruck that was taken on a boating excursion.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

"Silence equals complicity. Bystander intervention means interrupting harmful behavior early, questioning abusive dynamics, and refusing to normalize misogyny."

This makes me twitch, remembering all that same nonsense, ra-ra garbage I sat through.

ICYMI — After Republicans stripped majority-Black Memphis of representation, this was @brotherjones.bsky.social in the rotunda. Damn. (From NC5)

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

*white women vote for Trump* Everyone: those bitches *white men vote for Trump* Everyone: okay how do we help these sweet guys see the light and come back to the Democrats????

Timeline cleanse!

wrote about femicide, and how men murdering intimate partners is not a mental health issue, and isn't an accident or a tragedy for which no one is to blame. It's a deliberate act of political terror to enforce patriarchy. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/femicide-i...

For fuck's sake, sign up for The Onion, and get a free limited edition IW tote. A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago. Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!

CIS people (especially white men) please read this. This fight is not trans folks fight. This is why they are leaving. This is why gay folk are leaving. This is why all women should be making plans. What they take from one they will take from all. This story lays it out succinctly, w impact

RIP Flat Earth Dave. You would have hated this.

Thou cold sciatica, Cripple our senators, that their limbs may halt As lamely as their manners!

Basically feminism for the past 250 years has been a struggle to establish that women are people endowed with certain inalienable rights, and among those rights are life, liberty, and bodily autonomy.

This is the conservative pitch to most Americans: Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.

HERE IT IS: Earlier this month, without any planning, I drove 6 hrs to the desert to capture the last full lunar eclipse until December 2028 Over 3 hours I shot over 3000 stills, but not the stars Last Tuesday I drove 4 hrs to capture the stars After 30+ hrs figuring out editing, this is DONE 🧵

The White House & the Capitol were designed in a deliberately straightforward & non-ornate style—in sync w/the rejection of the pomp of monarchies. People sometimes specified “plain style.” It was supposed to be a tribute to NOT being a monarchy. A vital political statement. And now…here we are.

For Renee. For Alex. For Keith. For all those who aren't here.

A judge was more concerned about the future of a white, privileged young man than the victims whose lives he ruined. That sounds familiar. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-a...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:
