Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

happy pride 💕

Okay so I read the whole of the Pope's latest encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas", the one the internet is calling the AI Encyclical, but it's about a LOT more than that (of course it is, it's over 40,000 words). Here's a thread of quotes...

there was no way I'd ever be an unbiased review but Pope Leo's first encyclical is "Oops! All Bangers" for me

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

My most provincial opinion is everyone who eats meat should at least once in their life kill and butcher an animal with their own hands. I personally do not have an ethical issue with it, but many people treat meat like it's a fruit picked from a tree and not the product of a living thing.

Bruce will be back in D.C. on Oct. 3, as a special guest of the first-ever Power to the People Festival — joining Tom Morello to play a few songs with his band for another night of music and resistance.

One ugly side effect of the Republican “Big Beautiful Bill”: about 1,750,000 children have lost Medicaid coverage! As Aimee Ossman from the Children’s Hospital Association said, “you just can't pull out that much funding from the Medicaid program and not have an impact on kids.”

🚨 ICE KICKS PROTESTER INTO MASSIVE MOVING SEMI?! 🚨 Photos Will Allen-DuPraw captured show the protester’s foot caught underneath the truck moments later. Their condition is currently unknown. This happened just after midnight, as Day 6 turned into Day 7 of the Delaney Hall hunger and labor strike.

my poster problem is I pick fights with people who are way smarter than me. sometimes it makes me miss twitter

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

Chris Van Hollen says that Biden & other Democrats have enabled Israeli apartheid while pretending to support two states, so he calls for •Recognizing State of Palestine •End all taxpayer funded assistance to Israel •Impose sanctions •Blacklist complicit US officials •Endorse Arab Peace Initiative

Insisting boys must be strong is “gender ideology.” Telling girls to be nurturing is “gender ideology.” Assuming that kids ought to grow up to be heterosexual and get married is “gender ideology.” This gender ideology is everywhere. It just goes unnoticed because society mandates it as “normal.”

There are four important Amendments that Missourians will see on the Aug. 4th ballot. Here are some great, simple infographics and a one-page voter guide for you to use. Feel free to share with your family, friends, neighbors, and on your social media.

People actually do like when they government does stuff. None of this would have gotten this bad if we had not relied on incrementalism and "trusting private interests" for decades. We need collective goals, we need change. We need to give people a reason to care, to wake up in the morning.

I really think there’s something to this. Being openly, brazenly corrupt has probably worked in Trump’s favor with some media & voters because they assume something truly scandalous has to be exposed, not broadcast.

The main process argument against the death penalty is that it’s irreversible in the case of wrongful conviction but the fact that executions can’t be carried out with 100% certainty is also a clear process argument that it is “cruel and unusual” punishment.

The longer I look at this, the more questions I have What’s a bfy snack? Are peanuts not snack nuts? Are there nuts in the store that are not snackable? Aisle has its own jingle 🎼 snacks snacks beefy snacks 🎵 peanuts 🎵 snack nuts 🎶 🎷

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

This is atrocious. Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, now serving as Acting Attorney General of the United States, signed a one-page document in which the United States government “RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES” Donald Trump, his sons, his businesses,

The AI boom is unsustainable because the entire thing is predicated on cannibalizing the future. Is this a better way to search? Maybe! Will there be anything new for the AI to search if no one gets web traffic from Google Search anymore? There will not.

$350M loss for the STL region next year. Couple hundred jobs lost. Research helps fund work today and fuel discoveries to improve tomorrow. This administration is destroying the true engine of America.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

@citydemsstl.bsky.social it's an election year. Your website and events page is almost a year out of date. You don't post here. You do not publicly post your meeting times. You haven't responded to multiple uses of the "contact us" form on the website. What are you doing?

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

The Missouri legislature has finished this year's regular session and its time to give initial thoughts. Despite this year starting off with dozens of anti-LGBT bills pre-filed, and dozens more introduced in regular session, few bills made it to the finish line. 1/x

my old rep Bob Onder is one dumb dishonest mfer

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Every time you make a "tranny" joke, every time you overlook the way we're treated, every time you get irritated when someone brings up pronouns, every time you hesitate and act weird about a trans person in a bathroom, you feed the culture that murdered Juniper Blessing.

They told you they would. This administration is literally trying to kill off the most vulnerable. 36% of those on Medicaid in CA are children, 40% are births, 12% are seniors (including hospice/homecare), and 8% are people with disabilities. Inhumane and Unconscionable.
