😂 Best one I’ve seen yet re: McConnell staff statement claiming he’s working with them on Senate matters.

Of course it’s a “Kids for Cash” racket. Damn!

The allegation against Platner is rape. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Nothing quite captures the spirit of America 250 like promising a century of single party rule if only one party can change election laws.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

By my estimation, half the people at The Saddest Fair™ are there to point out that no one is there.

Thousands of Baptist delegates voted to enact "a Taliban mullah policy" and people talk as though it's just a matter of “theological disagreement." "This is a religious cover for a much broader political project: the systematic narrowing of every space where women are permitted to hold authority.

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

What more perfect symbolism than the reflecting pool's fate? Algae screaming corruption and now the blue paint flaking off and floating to the surface. Yes, the country appears to be rejecting its makeover. Gift: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/u...

But of course….

Team Algae!!! 😂

In January 2025 I started posting good resistance news. I believed that the first step of resistance is to overcome fear, apathy, and despair. Now the effective resistance is so visible; are these posts needed? Resistance persistence is powerful! Gift article www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

Fox News now reporting that the algae were either in Hunter Biden’s laptop, Hilary Clinton’s emails, or President Obama’s tan suit.

I have the same reaction to ppl who bring dumb arguments from other forums and post it here. Pls leave that toxic shit where it belongs!

In this photo there is a Princeton University graduate and a Harvard Law School graduate. Michelle Obama is both.

Wow: the cover of today’s NY Post.

But there was this: Congrats Hurricanes!!

Score one for truth. Alan Spears of the National Parks Conservation Association, one of the organizations that brought the lawsuit, said "National parks belong to the American people and censorship of any kind goes against the values these places represent." Courage and resistance work.

This really is an astonishing piece, both as incredible reporting and as portrait of the depths of "masculinism" and its full merger with MAGA. I thought I knew what the Tates are; it's even worse, and worse in ways that are important to understand.

Interesting, 🤔

New: Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people. Seemingly every week there's a new case, the details usually similar. Cops use unfettered access to Flock to surveil an ex. They most often search their plates hundreds of times over course of months www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

I know but thanks for the confirmation. 😣

Wow!

These letters from ex-Feds are important on several fronts: document the actions, point to the irregularities and the impact they are having on the judiciary. Bravo!

But of course. Cruelty is the actual point. Hypocrites.

Happy 1 year anniversary to this tweet.

Yes, sadly we’re sometimes safer on the streets than in our own homes.

Wow. The Department of Defense has decided not to recognize Unitarian Universalism as a religion. I wonder what that does to our UU military chaplains - and those who serve and need them. Don't let them tell you they are "pro-faith."

Jennifer Freyd has done groundbreaking work on betrayal blindness & trauma and institutional betrayal, & courage. Although her work is recognized as groundbreaking, not all articles acknowledge her. A great message: astamenos.substack.com/p/name-her-j... See also dynamic.uoregon.edu.

I’ll never understand why spanking in this way isn’t considered domestic violence. It is as if hitting and controlling kids in this way is an ”lesser crime.” Failure to see this in the #DV community is also what causes divisions with children’s rights advocates. We see it, why can’t you?

Maybe there is a God.

Me either.

💯 This is not the D.O.J. I worked with as a consultant in the mid 80s when they were launching their victim services division and expanding prosecutor training. How far we’ve fallen.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Duh.🙄

John Lewis would be sad about the gutting of the VRA but proud of this new generation of activists. #Selma

Great pic, Evan!!

Never forget!!

This gal’s values and actions give me something we could all use right now — hope!

Thank goodness for good parliamentarians!

Can confirm.
