I want cis Americans to sit uncomfortably with the fact that most of these restrictions were ushered in through the liberal act of "just asking questions" about trans people.

TODAY: Americans are gathering again at nationwide events in defense of immigrants in our communities. As the regime buys up warehouses to convert into concentration camps, we must come together to oppose the literal warehousing of people in our country. Join us: www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

An article I wrote for men about "Rape Academy." Women already know this & I say this with full awareness of how uncomfortable it makes men: Most men are not safe to be around alone. This is not sustainable & men must lead the change. Men, we need to talk: qasimrashid.substack.com/p/men-we-nee...

Video shows Israeli police confiscating and destroying footballs that were being played with by children in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, in what mosque authorities described as part of ongoing restrictions on Palestinians inside the holy site.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

Can someone out there please count up all the CPAC speakers who ranted about George Soros funding left wing causes? Be sure to take breaks and stretch every hour or two.

In Feb. 2025 when a USAID worker asked if their “lifesaving care” for “two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths” would be considered a number one priority for programs to save, a Trump official responded “I’d say that’s more of a number two.” www.thehandbasket.co/p/trump-usai...

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Corporations want you to think they're raising prices because they have to. The truth is that they're also raising prices to the point where they now have the highest profit margins in history.

Israeli Army: Largest Strikes on Lebanon Since War Began The Israeli military says it carried out its widest wave of airstrikes on Lebanon since the start of the war with Iran, launching 100 strikes in just 10 minutes.

Called my Congressperson and Senators. Told them I didn't want to hear about them merely "opposing" an "unauthorized" war, and needed to hear them talk about actual accountability and prosecution.

Idk maybe dial back the "but what if nukes" stuff because (a) he won't and (b) tomorrow when he didn't I don't want to hear anyone say "well on the plus side he didn't use nukes"

* IRAN CUTS OFF DIRECT DIPLOMACY WITH U.S. -- WSJ @reuters.com

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

The TikTok girlies (gender neutral) are hatching a plan to all buy copies of communion by hooks on Vance's release date. I will be participating.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Killing people. Not just Renee Good & Alex Pretti.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

I represented a Client charged with obstruction for filming a cop who pulled a gun on him for driving whilst Black. The state's attorney argued that Client was trying to entrap the cop by goading cop into shooting him for a payday for his family. So no, "just follow the law" is bullshit.

I represented a client charged with obstruction for not exiting a vehicle. Client was deaf and therefore didn't hear the command. State's attorney argued that Client chose not to get a cochlear implant so Client planned to obstruct cops.

I represented a client who was charged with obstruction for, this is true, not letting a cop sexually assault her. Client said "no" when propositioned, cop grabbed her genitals, she said "no" again, and the state's attorney charged her with obstruction.

This man did far more fighting for the US than anyone in the cabinet or the White House. And he died one day after being taken to an American concentration camp. One day. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I can't believe I'm saying this and it's not a meme, but polls close at 7 in Illinois, so if you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. You can register TODAY with a piece of business mail and vote TODAY. Every vote counts. It's a sunnier, nicer day out than we all thought it would be! Get out there!

Home security systems are safety theater. They make us feel like we’re in control, but they don’t actually reduce the risk of violence. If anything, they’re a part of a broader, predatory industry that exploits our fears and *increases* the risk of violence to keep us spending money.

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?” And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime "American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

one thing that would be helpful is if you guys see any sexual deepfakes or edits using my likeness, please report them. thank you :)

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night. This is a press freedom issue. Here’s what happened:

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem misled Congress on Tuesday about the powers of her controversial top aide Corey Lewandowski, according to records reviewed by ProPublica and four current and former DHS officials."

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody. He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again. Why do we need to fund this murderous agency? www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Different angle, showing the lead-up:

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.
