i thought i'd never find a photo of the old mini cinema but i found one today. this is where i spent my nights and early mornings in the late 70s. midnight showings of rocky horror, song remains the same, the dead movie, sci fi classics in 3d. saw the ramones and the good rats here

It won't change until we give children meaningful bodily autonomy, the ability to consent, and prioritize educating them about their bodies and relationships. You know, the exact things the "parents rights" advocates are against. Predators know how to isolate children. Don't fall for the bait.

Donald abandoned his 3 oldest kids, when they were all in grade school, to run off with a mistresses. He had a child with that mistress, speculated about the eventual size of that baby's breasts, and then abandoned her too. He married his next mistress. And cheated on her with someone in porn.

ICE IS ILLEGAL. ABOLISH ICE.

Eartha Kitt and Orangey the Cat Again, No, there can never be too many Eartha Kitt photos of her and a cat. #MenWithCats And Eartha too

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

When emergency responders and medical professionals arrive at a home w/geriatric person unconscious, in full cardiac arrest, resuscitation efforts like continuous CPR will break several ribs. If they get heart started: lights & sirens to hospital. If they drive leisurely patient is likely terminal.

Yes he would! #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org

Things right-wingers concerned about the birthrate won't touch: "If you’re worried about population collapse, then I have two solutions for you: attract many more immigrants, and figure out how to loosen the patriarchal bargain’s grip on the masculine imagination."

This is not a whoop kids account. If I can use my words to speak to adults about conflict, I can do the same for a child.

I'd like to think that if a policy was written describing left handed kids as a safeguarding issue and with sentences like "allowing left handedness should be viewed as an active intervention that may have significant effects on the child" there'd be an outcry. What's different about being trans?

I say this with compassion as a suburban mom who has cops for neighbors: we have to truly accept that law enforcement is NOT on our side. They will not protect us. Under this regime, they see us as enemies of the State. The answer here is LESS law enforcement involvement, not more.

Trump Expected to Destroy More of the Country as Soon as Monday

We are opposing yet another attempt by the Trump administration to threaten Oregon’s privacy – a move that would add costly burdens to Oregon’s hospitals, universities, and state agencies, and discourage eligible families from receiving SNAP and Medicaid.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's death demands a full, independent investigation.   This administration, ICE, DHS, and the FBI have not presented an ounce of evidence to support their version of what happened.   His family deserves justice.

He regrets he got caught. This is WHO they are.

Michigan here… I’m agree with President Sheinbaum 100%!! 💙 🇲🇽

Politicians would be wise to pay attention. What stands out is the shared sentiment among Dems in different states: a clear desire for new voices and a willingness to confront problems inside the Democratic Party instead of pretending they don’t exist. A common thread that’s hard to miss.

It is really wild how much Black causes have been completely abandoned or lowered in priority by many Dems and many people, from moderates to progressives to the left. As we enter fascism, we can’t keep our eyes off the core of how we got here. Not to mention simply not abandoning Black people.

“Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been abandoned by the Democratic Party to fight an existential crisis on their own. They say they’ve been let down by nearly all corners of the party.” Essential read:

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

"Platner’s implosion is the natural culmination of a campaign motivated by a warped sense of masculinity, one that told voters to give their trust to a candidate who had done nothing to earn it."

“He dedicated his life in the United States to giving his family the American dream,” Ronaldo said. "He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.”

This is a really important point that I wish more people understood. It’s that true immigrants occupy many jobs at the lower tiers of the US economy like agriculture and house cleaning. But immigrants also make up a significant percent of US doctors, nurses, teachers, and other specialized workers.

Lee Morgan (July 10th, 1938 – February 19th, 1972)

Three eyewitnesses to the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo say the federal agent fired at him immediately after exiting his vehicle, disputing DHS' claims that Salgado Araujo tried to ram officers with his vehicle.

A lawsuit alleges that ICE beat a man, causing his existing disabilities to worsen and get new ones. Once he was in ICE detention, the lawsuit says, he was mocked by detention staff and didn't regularly get his medication. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

this idea that a new local data center means a ton of local jobs and innovation is one of the biggest lies tech corporations and their assorted mouthpieces are telling communities (including tribal) to get them to sign off on their unregulated energy hoovering ambitions

We don’t talk enough about how deeply lonely it is to offer and want emotional depth in relationships. So many people simply cannot or will not meet you deeply.

I want women to understand that pregnancy significantly increases your risk of death. I’m not even talking about the physical symptoms of pregnancy. Being pregnant means statistically increasing the likelihood of you dying by homicide/dv.

New research indicates that state voter registration lists — a common administration target — are actually accurate and up to date. And both blue and red states are largely doing a good job maintaining their lists. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO Olympia, WA Thursday, July 9

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

Or stop 1 single Portland Water project. …promised by unethical Water Cmmrs to cost $350 million, a proposed treatment plant is now up to a jaw-dropping $2.6 Billion:

In the end, Platner’s candidacy became a moral test — and many Democrats (including the Maine voters who gave him their votes) failed it. www.ms.now/opinion/grah...

Mexico is taking the United States to court for the death of an immigrant, this needs to stop. #Pinks #USDemocracy

Portland City Council holds no plans to save Lloyd Center Mall. Well, they didn’t really have the power to do so at all. This and more of today's top stories in GOOD MORNING, NEWS 🗞️

what if we did good stuff we liked instead of worrying so much what republicans will say about it? i am radical.

I mean… horrified

Huge turnout tonight for a protest over ICE killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo on Tuesday Magnolia Park, Houston. Video is from my colleague Macy Meinhardt, who is not on Bluesky but is on the scene.
