holy father, you seem upset This mfer in my replies thinks he can out-Bible me you don't have to read the replies But he's WRONG

Quite literally the only reason to tell people this is to convince them to commit crimes

you ever notice how media uses this weird framing when talking about men and boys? it's always, "hmm, women are doing better according to this specific metric. how do we help men get back on top?"

The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation offers scholarships to Black kids in districts represented by Congressional Black Caucus members Ed Blum just sued, claiming that's racist and illegal ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

(Note: there is no enforcement compelling them to put a dollar in the jar but I have secured their assurances that they will.)

This is how we know Republicans are completely unfit to lead. If they can do this to children, they're just too mentally ill to be worthwhile leaders.

As of right now, Trump’s occupation of the twin cities and Minnesota never ended. It just changed As the national media and other mostly moved on, his siege, psychotic economic warfare, and terror campaign against the state and its civilians continue to this day: zeteo.com/p/donald-tru...

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

this is literally the reason congress has no-notice oversight over ice facilities under the law that ice and dhs have repeatedly violated

Cool cool so you have to meet means testing to retain your Medicaid coverage, but offices are understaffed so the people who administer that means testing are hopelessly behind.

As you know, the last 4 months ive been helping friends whos daughter just passed away from cancer. I dont like asking for money but im 2k in the red after doing this. Ill work for it if youre willing to commission me. And if youre willing to tip me that would be amazing as I am exhausted. ⬇️

The thing that annoys me the most is they will argue this devoid of any actual context. The anti-trans side spent years making bomb threats against children's hospitals, gay bars, and LGBTQ community centers. They call LGBTQ people groomers and pedophiles. They mocked trans teen's suicides.

Each day during Public Health Week, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social will be highlighting two of the 10 planks in our People’s Health Platform. This afternoon we are focusing on TAXING THE BILLIONAIRES TO INVEST IN PUBLIC HEALTH.

The U.S. has vast reserves of wealth that are becoming superconcentrated among fewer and fewer people. We need to claw some back for the people of the United States to pay for things that we deserve—healthcare, healthy foods, clean air and water. We can afford it if we want to.

Trump's son-in-law, his business buddy and JD Vance are going to negotiate an end to the U.S. bombing campaign against Iran. We need to talk about how fucked up this is. 🧵

gofund.me/b00da09a8 WE ARE ALMOST HALFWAY, this is such a huge milestone. I want to be free from this all, thank you for helping me get there!!! 🥹 You contributed to my fight, and gave me strength when I didn’t have any. 🫂

reminder

In case anyone is in Dallas, just got a notice mentioning that there's a whole ass Yoshitaka Amano exhibition at The Warehouse and, having seen a few of these in person, you should ABSOLUTELY be going. Also going to be a SECOND exhibition in June/July dedicated to his work.

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the “Day of Silence,” started by Glisten (formerly GLSEN), an organization that fights anti-LGBTQ+ bullying. The day is an annual protest held in schools to combat the marginalization of queer students. https://bit.ly/4sqf9uI

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

In fifty years when people look back at the past decade or so, the big world-changing technological innovation won't be the chatbot slop machines, it'll be mRNA.

Really weird to be a Gen Xer who lived throug the Rs' moral panic and social stigma of teen pregnancy in the 80s only for their open and unapologetic position now to be that teens should be pumping out more babies, by force of law if necessary

Is Trump going to get impeached and removed from office? No, of course not. But Jesus Christ, guys. What the fuck is wrong with you, Schumer and Jeffries?

"He says a member of Democratic leadership told him a failed impeachment push risks being framed as tacit approval of Trump’s conduct." Idk, man, I think the point is that you can use a push for impeachment to talk about Trump's conduct being unacceptable.

Yes! People seem to forget that it was actually Republican *strategy* to use the sham Benghazi investigation to chip away at Hillary Clinton's approval numbers in the years ahead of her inevitable 2016 run! Kevin McCarthy accidentally admitted it! bsky.app/profile/cort...

Mississippi has chosen to Kansas' lead in limiting trans people's access to driver's licenses. @valorievandieman.bsky.social shares their perspective as a trans person living in the state. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

To this end, if you're an AI user, this is something you're going to have to deal with if you want to continue to make arguments that spicy autocomplete is an unalloyed social good. Given the ways that most of y'all dismiss the humanities as usless, I wish you good luck.

Indeed, if you read Safiya Noble, Mar Hicks, Alondra Nelson, Ruha Benjamin, Anna Lauren Hoffman or any of the other women (particularly women of color) and non-cis folks who DID THE EARLY WORK, you'd realize tht the whiteness of spicy autocomplete should be an a priori assumption.

I remember when the very serious article writers were telling me that Eric Adams was the wise adult future of the Democratic Party and now he's Albanian

Whether it's Pete Hegseth being a white nationalist alcoholic sexual predator with a fetish for violence or Lloyd Austin being Black, the two most recent secretaries of defense have alienated segments of the American public.

1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

exactly so. trump weighing in on sandy hook conspiracies has nothing to do with what he thinks about the conspiracies, and everything to do with how he feels about the person making them

AND when women do become the majority in a field, the pay goes down. 🙃 www.nytimes.com/2016/03/20/u...

FWIW, “girly” jobs means anything women do more than men. Teaching? Used to be a male profession. So did veterinary medicine. So did psychology, pharmacy, and even nursing. Guess what happens as the percentage of women approaches parity? Men literally FLEE from those jobs. 💀

The USPS can't "run out of money," the sole question is the people in charge of the federal government believe delivering mail is worth funding the same way they already fund armed kidnapping gangs, concentration camps, and blowing up girls' schools.

"In 24 hours, Trump seesawed from being prepared to enact a literal genocide on the Iranian people to deciding the Iranian govt was his business partner. This reversal makes sense in his head & nowhere else, but since there’s no guardrails, everyone has to treat this as rational behavior & move on."

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

In his tirade against MAGA war critics, Trump blasted Alex Jones for calling Sandy Hook a hoax. This seemed odd. So I went back and checked. At the time Trump hailed Jones as "amazing" and rebuffed demands that he denounce lies about the shooting. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2089...

Years and years of "what is a woman" discourse only to settle on a definition that includes 15-year-olds.

I’ll say it: I think people between the ages of fifteen and nineteen are too young to have children. Especially since people between the ages of fifteen and seventeen are still children themselves.

🚨 New from me @therealnews.com Trump is turning warehouses into ICE detention camps. Can Maryland stop him? Never thought I'd be writing headlines like this when I got started in media, but here we are... therealnews.com/trump-is-tur...

In spite of the image this piece does not actually reference Schumer at all, and Jeffries is quoted saying “I don’t want to get out ahead of that discussion,” and that that if Democrats choose impeachment, “we want to be able to do it in an informed way.”

Pete Hegseth believes that Jesus guides Tomahawk missiles, even when they hit elementary schools. I wrote about the roots of his militant faith - from the Crusades to the confederacy - and what they mean for the US and Iran today.

three straight NPR features on Greenland this morning and I don't think we've heard from a single person who lives there yet you can have quite a few different disciplinary, political, economic, ecological, etc, perspectives without ever escaping an essentially colonial point of view

the explicit promise of mass pardons for all crimes committed for the sake of the president is the most corrupt act in the history of the presidency

New: Texas Tech University System’s chancellor on Friday ordered campuses to phase out academic programs “centered on” sexual orientation and gender identity, escalating a course content review that has already upended classes across the system.

I wrote about how US media is laundering authoritarian anti-gender politics through a frame of viewing restrictions on trans people as being led by progressive European countries rather than the reality that it is illiberal autocratic states. www.thedissident.news/the-launderi...
