all stanning of popes is necessarily conditional, the Church is the Church, but the man said AI won't stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation so with all our conditions intact yes we stan

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Which is why instead of just fucking yapping about what servicemembers "should" be doing we need to be hooking them up with resources like girightshotline.org to enable them to follow their consciences when that conflicts with the orders they have received.

right wing grifters getting angry about foreigners taking Americans jobs but the jobs they took were those of right wing grifters

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

OH BABY THIS TOWN RIPS THE BONES FROM YOUR BACK IT'S A DEATH TRAP, IT'S SUICIDE RAP

Got home from running errands and Gomez is purring so loudly I can't hear my audiobook. I love this little freak.

UPDATE: We've added 5 more staffers to our DOGE tracker, taking the total to 114. This is everyone who we've confirmed has worked for DOGE ⤵️

one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.

The opposite of the Moms for Liberty wave should get more attention

I'm made of stardust, but I still have to do chores.

this is happening all over the US. People, people just like you and your barber or your bug guy, are standing up for their neighbors and strangers. This the beauty and the strength that rises from their oppression. When you doom, this is what you're insulting.

Loving, celebrating, and supporting. Recommending www.lgbtqfund.org as one for my fellow cis folks to support today- let's keep trans and other queer folks free from jail and immigration detainment.

I’m howling.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

Give Jamie Loftus a Golden Globe you cowards

I thought it was just me 😭

Jesus to his disciples:

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts

At last we have created Marjorie Prime, from the classic play "[Don't Create] Marjorie Prime."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

i am saddled with the thought of how different our world would be if we believed women.

It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.

no money for politicians

relief!

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

From North Carolina to Mississippi, Black-owned farms are filling the gaps left by SNAP funding delays

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Seeing a lot of "all lawyers and judges are cowards" and not to be "not all lawyers" but for Christ's sake I've been working in civil rights law since I was 23 and I swear to God we aren't all cowards.

twelve hungry men

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

I would say that we have a beautiful idiot plotting the demise of makers of loud noises & a fluffy clown.

The only reason I got my niece a Teen Vogue subscription was the political reporting. Guess we're canceling and will follow Lex and others where they go.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

I spent my 00s teens/young adulthood shoulder-to-shoulder with Vietnam War veterans who knew what they'd done and said "never again." Many are gone now or very disabled.

There it is.

Let's all keep pretending the forces behind this are just 'concerned parents with reasonable questions' rather than deranged bigots

Ah yes same way we exaggerated our trans children losing access to lifesaving health care and our reproductive autonomy. Nothing bad ever comes to pass in this fascist police state.

I refer to my God mother's family as my aunts/uncles/cousins even though I'm not legally related to any of them because that's just how Catholics (in my case)/Jews/Muslims/pretty much every Desi or Arab person I've ever met does things? White Protestant notions of family are so limited wtf.
