No one is coming to save us but us.

I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence. Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important. It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Ken Paxton’s plan

Man murders his wife while his children are at home. Dudes in the comments: what did she do?

So they were looking for *literally any excuse* to stop helping, huh.

The important subtext of this is that they don't have enough manpower to carry out their fascist agenda. If/when they hold recruitment events in your area, you should be prepared to show up and get loud. Folks have already done this in California and elsewhere.

Homelessness is a policy failure. President Trump's embrace of cruel and ineffective approaches to homelessness won’t solve the crisis.

Instead of investing in proven solutions, the administration is doubling down on cruel and ineffective policies that strip people of their rights, lock them into dangerous institutions, and punish them for having nowhere else to go.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order directing states to criminalize and institutionalize people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental health disabilities.

Thank you Bisan. We will never give up. Day of action: this Thursday, July 24.

UnitedHealth allegedly misused AI to deny medical claims. Delta plans to use AI to set individualized flight ticket prices for passengers. AI data centers from companies like Meta and X are reportedly harming nearby residents. The list of harms from AI goes on and yet...

NYT in 1944: Clearly the Nazis don't plan to kill all the Jews in the world because after all the phrase above Auschwitz says "Work Will Set You Free," so obviously the intent is forced labor, not extermination By Bret Stephens

They smashed his window & beat him & left him bloodied with 9 stitches because he didn’t have his lights on. During the day.

🚨 NEWS: Legal group founded by white nationalist Stephen Miller calls for federal and Tennessee state investigations of Cracker Barrel for its DEI policies, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Why did Miller-founded America First Legal target Cracker Barrel? CBRL Board of Directors includes:

A Legal group founded by Stephen Miller calls for federal and Tennessee investigations into Cracker Barrel for its DEI policies — “because initiatives are focused on supporting workers who are women, Black, LGBTQ+, or Latino” www.newsweek.com/cracker-barr...

I’m sorry — *Cracker Barrel* is too woke for the Trump administration? Cracker Barrel?!?

which was EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYBOOK as anti-Black institutional racism is boggling my mind. The US has exactly one way to do bigotry but somehow we just REFUSE TO SEE IT. We insist on failing the open book test over and over again.

The way trans people are being dehumanized according to EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYBOOK that has been used the last two years against Palestinians which was EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYBOOK used against immigrants and EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYBOOK as post-9/11 Islamophobia,

In both the US and the UK, parents-rights activists present trans acceptance as harmful to their children and advocate against gender-affirming treatments. This story describes the abuse and extremism beneath the surface, and the harm such families are doing to trans adolescents and young adults.

The value of Breonna Taylor’s life cannot be measured by a prison sentence, but, it is important that the vile attempts to devalue her life were rejected. Judge Sentences Ex-Officer in Breonna Taylor Raid to Nearly 3 Years in Prison www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/u...

Tonight LDF filed an emergency amicus brief laying out all the reasons the Supreme Court should continue to pause the 8th Circuit’s erroneous ruling and recognize the clear private right of action in Sec 2 of the VRA. 2/2 www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

MLK’s daughter y’all.

Brett Hankison has been sentenced to 33 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release for violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights during the no-knock raid that ended her life. Hankison is the only officer convicted in connection with the raid that killed Breonna.

Queer people have the right to exist freely and fully, year-round.

So its a non-unitary executive now?

The obsession some people have with debate is reflective of a discarding of humanity. Everything becomes a game, mass death is just a score. Naw, fuck treating mass murder like it's sports. There is no argument to be had.

OK you really do need to read this ASAP. It says so much that I've been struggling to articulate.

If you are innocent, wouldn’t you want to clear your name and release the files?

This is what the ruling class wants.

The Justice Department’s civil rights unit asked a federal judge to sentence a police officer convicted in the killing of Breonna Taylor to one day in prison and three years of supervised release

A financial decision for year after next. Please.

cringe and disturbing the degree to which american politics is currently influenced by grown ass adults who are still resentful about their SAT scores or something

This.

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.

Holy crap. Terrible timing

HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING www.fox10tv.com/2025/07/16/l...

My God.

Senator Grassley violated the rules and refused to allow Senators to speak against Emil Bove's lifetime judicial appointment. So I and every Democrat on the Judiciary Committee walked out of the hearing.

BREAKING: We reached a settlement that protects Idaho health care providers who help patients seek abortion care out-of-state. In states like Idaho with total abortion bans, out-of-state referrals are a critical tool to ensure that people get the care we need.

Today opposing counsel mocked me for being "obviously the world's dumbest lawyer" for having a name-your-own-price law practice, and said my clients deserve me for choosing me instead of a "real" lawyer, and then we won and he lost, so I think Alanis would call that ironic

I am begging people to remember that "illegal" =/= "impossible." It means "might be punished by the government." And that's a BIG difference.
