This is already marked out and now it just means a bunch of cars are parked in it and then trapped by the cars parking in the actual parking lane, this is so stupid

my sweet boyfriend just lost his job. worst Friday news dump imaginable

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has vetoed a bill that would have allowed Ohio teenagers 14 and 15 years old to work till 9 p.m. throughout the year ohiocapitaljournal.com/briefs/ohio-...

Starting a 🧵 of consequences, just so we can remember that consequences can still exist.

Israel’s killing of two young Palestinian boys in Gaza for supposedly crossing the Israeli military’s ever-shifting yellow line last week is “horrific” and must be investigated, the UN has said. “It’s hard to see how two boys, eight and 10, can be considered a threat.”

“Anti-trans activist and Binary Australia spokesperson Kirralie Smith has been ordered to pay $95,000 in fines and issue a public apology after she was found to have vilified two trans women earlier this year.” Look, it’s possible to hold transphobes accountable for abusing trans people.

The most dishonest White House in U.S. history (by far) wants us to trust them when they say every person in every boat they blew up was a drug runner. There is no logical reason to believe they're telling the truth. The whole operation isn't even about drugs. It's about stealing Venezuela's oil.

I am not convinced that the Supreme Court will come not come up with a nakedly partisan reason to reject these maps but (1) Dems should do them anyway and (2) defy federal court orders to the contrary

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

People are getting walked like a dog by the authoritarian media apparatus in this country and they don’t even understand it

Now-defunct Eastern Gateway Community College in Steubenville, Ohio, allegedly mishandled more than $17 million in federal student aid before closing in 2024, according to State Auditor Keith Faber ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/04/s...

New York Times sues Defense Secretary Hegseth over media restrictions - coming up on NPR's Morning Edition at 6.45/8.45a My written story for NPR: www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

hey @nytimes.com i had the scoop on this story hours ago. add a reference in your story to my name and outlet. thanks. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

48 years. That's how long trans women have been eligible to compete in tennis.

Another bombshell! WSJ reporting that Hegseth pushed Adm. Alvin Holsey to resign because of his belief that the strikes Trump ordered were illegal. I gitted this so you can read it www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Rolling Stone: clearly documents a 30+ year long con job. A rural county's own leadership lined their pockets by helping ag interests destroy the water supply. Everyone who read the article apparently??: Amazon data centers did this in 2011 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Trump asserts executive privilege to thwart Jan. 6 lawsuit

A federal watchdog dropped what a top House Republican called “a bombshell” Wednesday, revealing how easy it is for fraudsters to extract Obamacare payments by setting up health insurance accounts for people who do not exist.

Reminder that Sam Altman is being sued by his younger sister for sexual abuse.

Those individuals, now in power, are waging a multi-front campaign against public health and established medical science, working to further divorce Americans from objective reality. It is so, so depressing to watch. It’s also something that requires exposure and pushback. =why I do this work.

Please help Omar pay for his brother's surgery. Palestinians have been left homeless to die of starvation, cold, & lack of access to healthcare under Israel's genocide:

They were still going to get some wins but it would have helped A LOT if we could have found the professional wherewithal to mock this.

The US is deporting people who are not Mexican to Mexico, where they do not have legal status to live or work and are forced into underground economies.

We’re relying on foodbanks to fill the gaps left by a shrinking welfare state. This article by Community Organisers CEO Nick Gardham explains why that risks normalising deprivation. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @nickgardham.bsky.social

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

If public research university tuition were equivalent in inflation-adjusted terms to what it was in the 1950s, the elite media & parents' panic about everything college-related, including student accommodations & the obsession with getting into elite private schools, would almost totally vanish.

The big takeaway from lawyers, volunteers, and advocates, is that the system has become tougher and more opaque than ever. If you're someone working to navigate these systems, or want to talk about how this moment in immigration policy is impacting you, you can find me on Signal at Vittoria89.82.

No one would care about accommodations or most of the other problems, real or imagined, if top public university tuition was $5000/year. The public defunding & passing of costs onto families/students via tuition is at the root of the societal-wide panic about all things related to higher education.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.” They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board slams Trump for pardoning a former Honduran president jailed for smuggling billions of dollars’ worth of cocaine into the U.S. www.wsj.com/opinion/juan...

This should be a scandal. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/t...

Columbus has a very large Somali population -- last I read it was the second largest in the country after Minneapolis -- so we should keep our head on a swivel here as well. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

“I was under the impression that we were protected from being affected by any anti-DEI legislation and rulings because of our First Amendment right to freedom of press, but it appears I was wrong,” Alice Magazine Editor-in-Chief Gabrielle Gunter said in a statement Tuesday.

Lifetime ban. This is the energy we need in response to these powerful, depraved men.

#tdih 1980, three nuns (Ita Ford, Maura Clarke, and Dorothy Kazel) & one lay worker (Jean Donovan) were abducted, raped, & murdered 💔 in El Salvador by members of U.S. backed National Guard. Reagan administration blamed the nuns for their own murder. Read ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/nu...

Like how American-educated journalists won’t call out a lie for fear of being seen as “biased.” This is due to an inherent cognitive dissonance rooted in the myth of meritocracy. Pull one thread, as genius @nhannahjones.bsky.social did with the #1619Project, and the lies glow in stark relief.

And the thing is, this is yet another example of Trump's lack of discipline and laziness bouncing back to undercut one of the only policies he truly cares about. Tariffs are bad! But also, Congress has delegated BROAD tariff-making authority to the president. There are some small constraints. 1/

Nearly 1,900 immigrants were detained during the first half of Operation Midway Blitz. Most had no criminal record, newly released federal data shows. @joemahr.bsky.social and @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social report www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/01/o...

This is stunningly good reporting by two bylined reporters and six credited researchers, and it's undermined throughout by links to an "Ask the Post AI" that delivers insipid answers to its own contrived prompts under the guise of "More context on this article"

The Thanksgiving holiday is known to include tables full of food, but with Ohioans still feeling the effects of federal cuts to SNAP and food banks still bending under the weight of demand, for some the table won’t be quite as full ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/12/01/f...
