A candle for Minnesota.

This just pissed me off even more than the re-handcuffing The notion that these motherfuckers were the ones showing grace, that the women should be appreciative and speak well of the agents, that substandard treatment is conditioned on the women's portraying then as benevolent Fuckin disgusting

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

Kavanaugh really, really wants a time limit on remedies for racial discrimination. I really, really want a time limit on racial discrimination in America. But guess what

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Ladies, I think the message of this whole grotesque saga is that not only do they want to control our bodies, but they think they are entitled to rape our babies. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/u...

Childcare is a public good. It's time to build a universal, public childcare system that protects workers, supports families, and resists corporate capture. Dive into the case studies and interviews that support this forward-looking framework ⤵️ rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

When any of us, the people of the USA, want to see the government records of our own country, we’re minding our own business. Our inquiries are per se legitimate.

Trump has turned his back on the world’s most vulnerable people by banning refugees and cutting foreign aid programs. Today, we stand up. Introduced a resolution to honor World Refugee Day and reiterate our moral responsibility to help those fleeing unimaginable circumstances.

the world is just better with trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people in it full stop

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

"Ours is the vision and ours the growing reality of a great society in which the accidents of race and color, parentage and poverty, location and geography, will not be allowed to dim the light of human hope and to cripple the possibilities of human growth."

Mayor Baraka’s arrest during an oversight visit to an ICE facility in Newark is shocking overreach of power, even by Trump standards. This is straight from the authoritarian playbook. Trump and his people want to silence anyone who seeks to hold them accountable.

Finally! A win for NC voters, but unfortunately, the damage has been done. Judge Griffin’s refusal to accept the results of this election for more than 6 months – and his attempt to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters – was absolutely shameful.

Stand in the shame, y'all.

Generations of Americans have trusted the Social Security Administration with their private information. Yet, in a few short months, the Trump administration and DOGE have shattered trust that took decades to earn—trust that may never be regained. New from @mollyww.bsky.social:

On April 25, 2025, federal agents arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan at her courthouse for allegedly obstructing the unlawful arrest of Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. Read the League's statement: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Bukele would have him on a plane within an hour of Trump asking

Exactly so. And the human being in question would be on a plane in an hour if the Secretary of State made a single call to ask for that happen.

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

Watched twice for another reason: the officers moved with quick, adequate, controlled strength, protecting the attacker even as they restrained him. That’s how I want my government to operate.

It will never be enough. The goal is to break the University, not have them meet demands. Taunting Columbia with the hope of compliance just sweetens the pot with humiliation.

“In 1912, measles became a nationally notifiable disease in the United States, requiring U.S. healthcare providers and laboratories to report all diagnosed cases. In the first decade of reporting, an average of 6,000 measles-related deaths were reported each year.” Fun! www.cdc.gov/measles/abou...

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

The writ of habeas corpus exists to protect against arbitrary detention and confinement. Of course, the writ meaning anything depends on an executive branch that is willing to 1) respond to a legal action; 2) tell the truth in court; and 3) obey a court order. Otherwise this is 1973 Chile

In 1938, Neville Chamberlain went to Munich to appease the dictator. He gave away part of Czechoslovakia to bring peace. Today, Neville Trump is sending his Secretaries of State and Defense to Munich to appease the dictator. They will give away parts of Ukraine to bring peace.

See the difference? 👀

In this whole list, I haven't spotted a program in which the federal government pays benefits directly to individuals. The ordered "pause" includes all financial assistance except those direct benefits.
