There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Any time a Spanish speaking government does right by its poorest the New York Times summons the ghost of United Fruit

We're going back to writing things by hand, aren't we?

Tommy Allen & his bigot street trolls went & harassed a Pride event in Hillsboro, OR today. Watch how Nico here yells "get that [umbrella] outta my face" to event defenders who are stationary & more than an arms length away, then advances & sprays one of them. This shit happens on the regular.

Four weeks from now will be the 250th Independence Day holiday weekend in these United States. Let's talk about Patriot Front, a group that's probably gonna have to deal with a ton of IDs over the next several months.

For many years, there were allegations that ICE would “release” critically ill people in hospitals so that their deaths wouldn’t be recorded as in ICE custody. To fix this, in 2021 the Biden admin required ICE to report deaths occurring up to 30 days after release. Now that rule has been dropped.

what do you call mass detainment camps that kill the people who stay in them

To be clear, it was never part of the American compact that the middle class should be able to afford to attend Super Bowls and World Series, etc. But what the rich can pay has never outstripped what the middle class can by as much as today. They can piss away an annual income in three hours.

One of the best reflections on the mass mobilizations that took place against ICE in Minneapolis this winter. A must read. "Many of us will spend the rest of our lives reflecting back on what happened and the kind of people we became in these few short months. We will never be the same again."

My latest: After ICE's murder of Renee Good, Minneapolis "suddenly undergoes the kind of spiritual-political metamorphosis that it experienced during the George Floyd Uprising in 2020." firewithfire.blog/2026/06/06/f...

This is the second time this has happened. CBS News's Investigative unit got a retired ICE agent to break down the Good shooting frame-by-frame. On the record, he said the agents were entirely out of line. The piece was only posted online and never broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywL...

I suspect Professor Fate is older than she looks. She has no residual kitten zoomies and just wants cuddles, basically. Her fur texture seems like a more mature cat too. Poor baby ☹️

This guy owns Delaney Hall facility in Newark, New Jersey, and that quote attribution is CNN's way of saying he's a fucking liar

what's amazing is you could make him do this every time he shows his face. just keep telling him what he's saying is fake. it's not hard! why wouldn't you do this to this guy every fucking time

It should really be striking to any journalist with any sort of ambition in reporting how the president collapses like a paper cup the moment he's given any pushback from his stream of consciousness bullshit whatsoever. He's absolutely pathetic.

We are in the age of fast food cinema. You forget you had it before you go to bed that night.

Moreover... * Abandon chatbots * Start planning now to leave Google, Microsoft etc * Act on those plans * Seek out and build technical expertise * Treat social media as enemy terrain

oh so it was intentional. i take back any good faith hope. WOW.

It could happen to you: I opened my phone to turn on an alarm and ended up scrolling for 10 minutes.

ProPublica obtained 3,000 pages of emails sent last year by executives asking that their facilities be exempted from Clean Air Act requirements. The White House approved more than 180 requests and is considering more.

I think we found the guy passing on the orders to corrupt grand juries from the white house/DOJ to individual federal prosecutors. You’ll want to read this. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/main-...

I don't even think you can say the misogyny is subtextual at this point. It's just the text

Do not forget the hunger strikers and the deplorable conditions that prompted their protest.

“The machine cannot make us yield our ground. It is true that other humans can turn the machine against us, but that is a different problem. Here, I simply want to encourage us not to abandon those activities that bring us purpose, meaning, and delight…often activities that also bring us together.”

Its interesting to watch people just now find out that Hunter Biden is erudite, thoughtful, and self-aware. Addiction doesn’t just happen to hopeless losers, and it’s a shame we still like to pretend it does as part of our “couldn’t be me” routine.

Something becoming disabled has taught me is how instinctual that response is, to say “something bad happened to this person, they must have fucked up, here’s all the reasons I’m immune.” It’s self-protective and enormously destructive. It’s one of those things you need to teach yourself to check.

Euphoria launched some of Gen Z’s biggest stars. But showrunner Sam Levinson is a reactionary purveyor of misogyny who should never be handed another blank HBO check again. I wrote about my long-simmering dislike of his work for @spitfirenews.com spitfirenews.com/p/euphoria-s...

This is the surefire number one way to tell you're dealing with someone who fucking sucks. Across all fields and the political spectrum. Always criticizing never admitting mistakes. Going through life never letting themselves be the butt of the joke, not even for silly things.

The parents of LaGuardia High School student Oliver, 17, are raising the alarm after getting a surprise call from Mount Sinai on Thursday informing them that the hospital would be handing over trans children's medical records—including their son's—to the Trump administration.

What a class dude... 🤼 #AEW

bad! gross! stop doing this! RGG and also everyone

It’s bad that the vice president of the United States of America is a nazi

They’re not even pretending the Confederate redistricting isn’t about race. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/o...

I'm playing the Phoenix Wright games for the first time and I'm getting sick of witnesses getting caught in a lie and backtracking with "What I *meant* to say is blah blah blah" bitch I just shredded your credibility get the fuck off the witness stand

Just remembering this interview with James Marsters (aka Spike from Buffy)

Jesus Christ. Apparently in the new Scary Movie, the Black non-binary character is stabbed to death on a train after saying “my pronouns are they/them” and a crowd stab them saying “fuck your pronouns!” Legit a hate crime against the most vulnerable minority in real life for fucking “comedy”.

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

Hi we're not nervous, we hate it and would like it to fall into an open manhole, hope that helps

Susan Collins is largely responsible for Brett Kavanaugh—a man credibly accused of rape—being confirmed as a justice on the Supreme Court. As a result, Roe v Wade was overturned, and we now have “Kavanaugh stops” and a dismantled Voting Rights Act. She deserves to be unseated, NOT applauded.

You see how little this administration cares about you, my fellow Americans….

The Broadview Six case reeks of panic sweat and bad power. Not justice. Not law. Just the federal beast twitching in a cheap suit, looking for protesters to nail to the wall. Good. Ask who pulled the leash. Then name the bastard(s).

Y'all, this series is some of the best historical media documentary out there. The attention to detail and the level of research are top-notch, and I've learned so much about my own childhood. Absolutely worth the Patreon sub. Give the whole series a watch, you will not regret it.

There may have been world leaders somewhere in history that sounded dumber than this. But if there was, I don’t know them.

What if they just made an entire guy out of red flags?
