Here's my parenting tip: Stop making laws that hurt LGBTQ+ kids.

Same guy who started a high school debate club and is accused of grooming and raping one of his students

All the centrist/conservative Democrats who wanted to allow Abrego Garcia and everyone else Trump sent to CECOT to rot in a slave camp should be embarrassed with themselves and think deeply before saying anything about anything.

Your kids are not your property and a lot more people need to be told that

This might be truly a hot take but oh well: people worry way too much about whether they are being too much of a friend to their kids. “It’s not my job to be their friend.” It is, actually. A good friend. A responsible friend. A wise friend. But you very much should be a friend.

Hitting your children teaches them to model abusive relationships I wish don't Hit your kids wasn't a hot take

The Protection-From-Dragons Castle actually has no anti-dragon devices and many many peasant murder devices, and its halls and doorways are exactly dragon sized and there is a dragon-sized throne in the central hall, hmmm starting to think this might be a Protection-FOR-Dragons Castle.

I think one of the greatest threats to our institutions that Trump poses is that he exposes beyond any shadow of a doubt that they have never existed to safeguard justice and equality; they have always existed to protect white male supremacy and corruption on behalf of the wealthy.

just putting it out there that you can read the banner for free with a library card. you do not have to pay them for being pittsburgh union busting, transphobia both-sidesing, failed confederate apologists

This could end very badly. Incompetence and malevolence combined here could be deadly. What happens to Americans exposed? Those who fall sick? landmansplained.com/p/news-alert...

Artfest shmartfest, Sowebo has the sandwich of your wildest dreams

The main public-facing thing the Department of Homeland Security did for years after it was first established was to tell everyone exactly how scared to be at all times

Y'all if you think that the reason we don't have universal healthcare is that it costs too much, I don't know what to say to you. We would get better healthcare for less money with universal healthcare. The cost is not the issue. There are many reasons we don't have universal healthcare.

We're currently in a never-ending rinse cycle of news stories that are just failed assassinations on Trump, imaginary deals to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and more revelations about the Epstein Files peppered in with tech CEOs claiming you'll be able to have babies with AI in 18 months.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

“.. Elon Musk gleefully boasted about feeding the United States Agency for International Development into a ‘wood chipper.’ “.. An Ebola outbreak in the region in 2018 took nearly two years to contain. .. This time around, we have far less capacity to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/o...

It says that the president can revoke funding to any school that “advances concepts related to” trans people. That’s INSANELY broad.

It would be bad enough if this was all she voted for, but the bill literally also has a provision to strip school funding from any school that has books with trans characters, has policies protecting trans students, performs shakespeare’s 12th night, or even has a trans teacher.

This is the kind of stuff Larry Hogan did with gun control bills to maintain viability for a national campaign and he was rewarded by polling at 1% among Republican hopefuls before terminating his Presidential bid

🚨 🚨 🚨 NEW: A shocking @USCIS memo seems to declare that hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in this country and applying for green cards must instead apply for visas abroad; which could MASSIVELY disrupt lives. 🧵 on what we know, and what we don’t.

Cw: rape So Israel kidnapped flotilla activists in international waters, raped them, shot them, broke their bones. And the governments of the world let them.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

A young person has died and a MAGA official hails the “protection” of students. This is the evil that is destroying America.

On Reddit, Orange County residents are very justifiably angry that local authorities are posting vital evacuation information on X and Instagram…which both require accounts if you want to be able to view videos easily and completely. How many people use neither? This has got to stop.

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

RIP bozo *TULSI GABBARD RESIGNS AS DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: FOX

Damn. 59 is so young. :/

NEW: A Spokane ICE agent was discovered to have posted on X last year calling Black people “ghetto garbage” and transgender people “mentally ill.” He was called to the stand today to explain himself. The story was first reported by @rangemedia.co www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

This is an underappreciated way in which this article is terrible. People who get shot by the cops in Baltimore are “suspects.” People who assault cops while breaking into the capitol building to murder legislators and the vice president - AND ARE CONVICTED - are “defendants?” Okay.

Great time to subscribe to the @baltimorebeat.bsky.social, folks. No Nazi puff pieces there.

Thank god my local newspaper is covering the most pressing news stories: the mental health struggles of local fascists who experienced a modicum of consequences after attempting to overthrow what little democracy this country has, and how they totally deserve a slush fund for their tears

one of the first things I ever remember seeing from the earliest days of the banner was “let’s hear out the transphobes” bullshit so this is no surprise

america has eviscerated its parks and forest services in anticipation of turning them over to the logging and drilling industries and we are being rewarded with increased fees to visit our public lands while canada...makes it free for everyone

Adam Ryan Obest, the domestic terrorist that the @thebaltimorebanner.com published a puff piece about also has a criminal history of violating protective orders and harassing his ex-wife. what a guy. seditionhunters.org/twistedpuffer/

At times like this I like to remember that this newspaper got started by hiring a large handful of people who had spent many years running cover for BPD and enthusiastically criminalizing Black youth. “They’re turning into the Sun!” They, uh, also started off as the Sun.

"When the government comes down on you, it can destroy your life.” I’d conservatively estimate 5,000 Baltimore residents could say that exact phrase and their story is much more compelling than someone who invaded the Capitol trying to overthrow a free and fair election.

If only there were an economic angle to reproductive freedom.

ICE could never have built such a large-scale deportation machine without the voluntary assistance of local law enforcement. In a new @inquest.bsky.social excerpt, Peter Mancina traces how jails became "force multipliers" and how the immigrant rights movement pushes back. Read on:

Q: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.

1. This is huge. Kat Abughazaleh, Andre Martin, Michael Rabbitt, Cat Sharp, Brian Straw, and Jocelyn Walsh fought a fascist prosecution and won 2. This should not be over. We should know everything about what happened and people should lose more than their jobs evanstonnow.com/feds-to-dism...

I think it's absolutely wild that 12 years after getting called out *by The Atlantic* for doing denying atrocities being commited against Palestinians, The Atlantic publishes him *doing the exact thing he was criticized for* www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Here’s a breakdown of how Elon Musk used his DOGE goons to steal 500 MILLION Americans’ Social Security data– including our SSNs, addresses, places of birth, citizenship status, mothers’ maiden names, spouse & children’s information, and more! @legalafmtn.bsky.social @courtacctability.bsky.social

Why is there a Le Tigre song in a beans commercial am I having a stroke

Israeli fascist and minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, posted a video of himself on Twitter abusing the illegally kidnaped and detained members of the Global Sumud Flotilla while yelling “Welcome to Israel, we are the owners of the house".

This is eugenics too.
