THOU SHALT NOT PROTECT PEDOS!!! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS SENDER’S NAME REDACTED?!?

Judge rules members of Congress can inspect all ICE detention centers without appointment. "...DHS Sec. Kristi Noem re-implemented a notice requirement…..[which] required 7-days’ warning for visits to [ICE] facilities... funded exclusively by the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’..." thehill.com/regulation/c...

This is good, but it's also frustrating that it's taken this long for anyone to do this.

Simply incredible

This is why I'm no longer a Democrat. His first statement is a lie. Full stop. He is lying about what Democrats want, directly into our faces.

Wouldn't that just make Dictator Don shit his pants? 🫟💩😆😂 Hope he lives just long enough to see that happen. Cue the incoherent rage rantings over on TS. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Trying to figure out a professionally appropriate way of saying, "Sorry, but I've declared a moratorium on playing this utterly thankless slog of a piece ever again" to a prospective client. I suppose I'll just say, "Sorry, can't help you this time around."

It really is striking that Republicans will actively, aggressively work to change and shape public opinion, and Democrats just ... won't. They just tacitly accept the Republicans' efforts, and then chase after voters wherever they land because of it.

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

holy shit. extremely proud of Omar and his team for taking this stand. what a stain on HRW's reputation. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Incredible insider news: one of my neighbors in tech (cool kind) has told me that large large swathes of genAI programmers and investors are getting laid off across tech giant cities Silicon Valley (San Fran) and Seattle. Morale in that field is at an all time low 💪 We prosper!

RANGE has yet to hear from SPD about why the men were at the event or if they will be disciplined, but it’s unequivocally clear they were violating a policy put in place more than six months ago.

It's so grim that ICE are out murdering and kidnapping and the Trump admin is like "yes this is great we're gonna do more of this and livestream it, let's get some camera crews out to film this." and Democrats are like "OK but we need more money for body cameras if we're gonna keep funding this"

Investigation into social media platform looks at complicity in crimes including Holocaust denial and child pornography.

Funny, I just showed Perfect Blue to the BF the other night. (I think he liked it! He is very reluctant toward Japanese animation for reasons I don't understand.)

There is a case to be made that any board of a university that signed an agreement that required paying a fee has breached their fiduciary duty and I think somebody should explore it

It really bums me out that Klobuchar, who was instrumental in normalizing Trump as just another political adversary, is almost certainly going to be the next governor of Minnesota, a state currently paying a severe price for that normalization of fascism.

Whoof, that is bracing.

Please allow people to work from home and have an eviction moratorium. These two things can help people suffering a lot more than calls for this to end.

In light of my recent Tori Amos single-collecting, I thought I'd give some of her later albums a re-listen. I ... shouldn't have. The quality-drop in songwriting/production/artwork after her first 4 albums is *precipitous*. ADP is just okay; AAtS I never need to hear again.

This is very, very good.

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

Businesses: if I go out of my way to patronize your shop only to discover that you're closed when your posted hours say you should be open, I'm basically never going to try again. I can't trust you on that most basic of business communication. It is infuriating how often this happens.

Employers implicitly threaten you with homelessness and starvation.

If I see another outlet use the phrase "the video appears to show" I am going to lose my goddamn mind. Does the video show the thing? Is the thing clearly and unambiguously happening? THEN THE VIDEO DOESN'T "APPEAR" TO SHOW SHIT. IT JUST SHOWS IT.

Despite a European Union wide regulation which requires Israeli settlement products to be accurately labeled, less than 10% of all settlement-produced wine in occupied Palestinian territory is labeled as-such. Trade with illegal settlements is illegal according to the World Court.

A friend recently bought me these Tiny Tates Gluten Free cookies and they're pretty delicious. I googled them to see where I could buy more but instead this popped up. Gross. Evil. I'll find another sweet treat. ny.eater.com/2021/3/12/22...

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like a lot, dawg

... I can't. Why does anyone agree to interviews with this guy? How are they all this ridiculously self-unaware?

This isn't *supposed* to be his job.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Updated for 2026: Labour's shameful LGBT+ record under Starmer. The most anti-LGBT+ government since Thatcher.

May they never know another moments peace.

Troublemaker is my middle name.

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

One of the many excellent talking points and promises for aspiring Democrats heading to 2026 and 2028 - assuming we have free and fair elections - is to give us specific details on HOW we should hold Trump Admin accountable. Specifically, Miller, Bondi, Noem, Patel, Kegseth, and Trump.

How wonderful that Bluesky is turning into Facebook. I mean, that's what everyone who uses Bluesky wanted, right? For this site to be moderated as shittily as all the other social media sites?

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

Congratulations, #TX18 Congressman-elect Christian Menefee Leaders We Deserve was proud to endorse & invest in Christian, a next-generation leader who will serve as a powerful check on lawlessness, corporate price-gouging, & polluters – all while lowering costs.

This is probably the most instructive moment in the evolution of the Democratic Party on Palestine so far— AIPAC is now running ads against one of its (now former) closest allies in Congress, Tom Malinowski, because Malinowski did not commit to *unconditional* support for Netanyahu specifically.

get it right

So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Incredible things are happening in the NJ-11 Congressional race, one example: Tom Malinowski, a pro Israel candidate running to re-enter Congress, is accusing AIPAC of using India-based call centers to run scripted ad calls against Malinowski.

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?
