Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

I like to think that I personally ruined the workplace.

Important article on apartheid Israel's scholasticide in Gaza, its escalating attacks on Palestinian education in the West Bank, and the abject refusal of the international community, including Ireland, in its legal obligations to prevent genocide #SanctionsNow www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

From what I’ve been able to verify, this is true. Members of congress are receiving $79 daily for food while the poor go hungry. #Pinks #ProudBlue #StrongerTogether #SNAP

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

In a win for the arts and universal basic income, Ireland plans to make permanent a $1,500-a-month pilot program for artists, citing benefits to creativity, mental health, and financial stability.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

"We are only allowed to own seven pairs [of underwear] in total. In order to exchange your state-allotted pairs for new ones, you must submit to a bunk search and an officer must verify to the property officer that you do not own more than seven pairs."

reminder that in 1971 a full 85% of the NYPD went on a highly publicised work stoppage, resulting in no appreciable increase in crime during those five days of one of New York's most troubled eras. further, a 2017 pause of "broken window" policing saw major crimes *drop* in NY this is 100% a bluff

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

Hey all, my friend @swolesome.bsky.social is trying to raise money to help Maysara and his family evacuate Gaza. Swolesome has been raising money to help if you can share or donate. chuffed.org/project/1493...

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"A terrorist affiliated with the governing Republican Party attacked a religious minority gathering in the border province of Michigan, the latest in a string of political violence as American dictator Donald Trump seeks to consolidate power ahead of planned elections next year."

Israel to close West Bank crossing to Jordan indefinitely starting Wednesday. The closure of Allenby effectively seals off the non-Jewish population of the West Bank from the outside world, as IDF attacks and settler pogroms accelerate. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

Trans rights are human rights.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: “What of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know.”

This makes me so angry. The fu**ing damage this does. The WSJ walked back its report that cited sources claiming bullets recovered in the Kirk shooting had been "engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology."

The UK is implementing a nationwide trans bathroom ban without debate or even passing a law through parliament. web.archive.org/web/20250905...

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

is crime actually up or are you just seeing more of the kind of people you think don't belong in your spaces and you just assume it means crime is up

"Egypt Isn’t Starving Gaza – Israel Is" Debunking the latest lie from pro-Israel propagandists: Egypt could open its border crossing with Gaza anytime and end the Israeli-created famine in the Strip. Here's the truth.

If I was the Associated Press and it was not immediately clear why more troops are being deployed against civilians in the nation's capital, I would probably like, ask someone how come

Trans people actually commit crimes at a much lower rate than cis people but, you know, that stuff is irrelevant

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.

“Official figures show that 90% of rape perpetrators are known to victims, one in two rapes are by partners/ex-partners, and one woman is murdered by a partner every four days in the UK.”

the single best piece of advice my mother gave me before going off to college - apart from “club soda with a slice of lime looks like a gin and tonic” - was “the minute you meet someone who seems cool, ask them out for coffee immediately. everyone wants friends and is scared to make the first move”

They’ve lost the Express. Maybe, finally, Labour will start to pay attention. They do seem to think of the Express as their moral guide these days.

Publishing “both sides” is not just moral bankruptcy, it is an affront to the central mission of journalism (yes, even of opinion journalism): to help people honestly understand the world. There aren’t “both side” to climate change, slavery, genocide in Nazi Germany, nor to genocide in Gaza.
