When's their flags at half-mast? When's their bipartisan resolution? When do these children get 24/7 coverage of their too-short lives and endless interrogation of their murderer's ideology?

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it. Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes. He's now charged with murder.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

We have allowed sociopaths and psychopaths to create a society in which only they can thrive.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Imagine a Washington where: 🗳️vote by mail is ended (Republican sponsored HB 1584); 💚 the Climate Commitment Act is limited to funding highway projects (Republican sponsored HB 1324); 🩺 the long-term care program is repealed (Republican sponsored HB 1578);

I am just so fucking proud of her.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I'm realizing a grim exercise/prompt may be in this ... If others want to share, I'm curious: Why aren't *you* leaving america (yet)? Asking for trans folks in particular, especially those of us on HRT and/or other very directly threatened in terms of our healthcare ... Reposts welcomed. Sigh.

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

University of Washington - Piece of shit disrupts Psych 210 (The Diversity of Human Sexuality) throwing up nazi salutes, yelling Heil Hitler, and calling everyone “retarded degenerates” and “fags" The professor, Dr. Nicole McNichols, and her class 👏DO 👏NOT 👏PLAY 👏THAT 👏GAME

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

NEW: California is on the verge of passing nearly a dozen bills supporting queer and trans rights—if Newsom doesn’t veto them. In our latest, Mady Castigan (@madycast.com) talks to trans people impacted by the bills as well as politicians who wrote them, and explains how you can pressure Newsom.

The Trump admin. attacks on gender-affirming care are forcing Washington hospitals to scale back services for trans youth. Even with state protections, surgeries are paused and new patients are delayed, leaving young people without the care they need.

And children are dying from lack of access to medicine because he spent a weekend “feeding USAID into the woodchipper”

"no more superficial individual expression"

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

This passage nearly broke me.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

"And Klein just. Didn’t. Get. It. His argument was, 'But we have to win.' And I’m like, 'Who the fuck is we, Ezra?' Because I’m not now and will never be on the side that negotiates away basic human rights. Even if that means I’m in a party of one." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

At event in DC, Sen. Chris Van Hollen keeps it going with Hakeem Jeffries over not endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: if you can’t back the kind of campaign he ran, “don’t ask those young people to show up for other Democrats across the country — that’s the message that will be sent.”

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

The speed at which the administration has been able to convince people “gender ideology” is a normal and totally appropriate way to describe the idea that trans people deserve basic human rights is a sobering demonstration of how much they’ve managed to capture and reshape language. NYT this week.

sponsored the state's youth gender affirming care ban

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Wrote for @thenation.com about the complicity of some liberal politicians and pundits in the conservative campaign to exterminate trans people www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

I hope this makes it around to as many cis folks as possible. The amount of ignorance out there regarding what we're facing and how this moment feels for all of us is staggering.

“Trans people cannot live alongside people who promise to eradicate us from society. We cannot exist in this space where just one person who happens to share a demographic feature with us does something heinous and then that, in turn, justifies right wing violence against us at large.”

The way the NYT covers this, while they helped to create a similar moral panic that preceded Skrmetti, might be the thing that drives me mad.

At least 43 outlets shared anti-trans misinfo after Charlie Kirk shooting A report from the Trans Journalists Association found that 43 outlets published misinformation about “transgender ideology” after Charlie Kirk’s killing xtramagazine.com/video/anti-t...

Bullet "evidence" startin' to get a little too specific and whatnot.

This is really great reporting from Mother Jones - the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine disavows the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine for misusing his work. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

SCOOP: The IOC’s panel that will determine policy on transgender participation appears to have excluded researchers whose work casts doubt on the need for bans

For my Burns Notice newsletter, I wrote about what it was like being a trans person and see the entire right wing try to incite pogrom on us over the last several weeks. burns-notice.ghost.io/what-am-i-su...
