You also need to say this shit when people get fired for mentioning their personal gender or get roughed up for looking at ICE the wrong way. Come the fuck on. If you believe this, believe it for everyone.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

The goal should be to teach them how to self-regulate, not to control them.

white affluent gays snd lesbians got theirs and stopped trying for the rest of us in 2015 they are popping out of the workwork to assimilate harder now to try to defend obergefell an allied front where queer people stand together is what protects obergefell

"the cruelty is the point" got sloganized out of meaning as so much messaging does, but basically reminds us that they are doing the atrocities on purpose, to cause fear and pain, because they benefit strategically and materially from it but also because they like it

Braiding is very hard. Physically challenging. I am trying to imagine the manual dexterity an automaton would need to have to braid well--and I think we are many years distant from that possibility. There is an assumption in the article that this is an easy skill. It's a racist assumption.

Bring back the mass market paperback. I can't hold a hardcover in one hand and a baby in the other.

Draining public dollars and leaving kids behind. Public schools don’t do that, but charters and voucher schools do too often.

INDEPENDENT: “A series of new polls show Americans do not approve of Trump’s efforts to deport swaths of immigrants from the country.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

You don’t need a new angle or fresh reporting. Stop it. Just re-publish it with a short editor’s note at the top.

The way we win future elections is by having politicians who genuinely want to turn this country around. Pick the Mamdanis. Ditch the Cuomos.

if a company came out and was like "we will not shove AI down your throat, we will not redirect funds towards AI, and we will just make sure this thing you use keeps working the way you like it" I think I would give them a lot of money

Here’s what pisses me off: the people who scream “censorship!!” the loudest are the same chuds who cheer when LGBTQ+ books are banned, drag shows are criminalized, or queer games are shadowbanned. It’s not about free speech—it’s about control.

Woody Guthrie says punch Nazis in the face because Americana music was always radical, we just love to sanitize its legacy.

You are cordially invited to our Anti-Prime Sale, where every purchase will financially support bookstores, NOT billionaires 🥳

As Texans recover from the recent floods, we have compiled a list of resources for affected counties, available to both union members and the general public.

The curse of modernity is everything must work. Time must work, land must work, the sun must work, trees must work, the water must work. If anything cannot be justified as productive it must be made so.

Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill would kill over 830,000 jobs, increase pollution, and raise YOUR energy costs alone by as much as $400. This would be a total disaster for our communities, our planet, and our wallets. 📱 Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to kill this extreme bill.

A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fox News is attempting to paint Mamdani as a radical because he wants to provide “baby baskets to newborns.” Are they aware that the Republican reconciliation bill would give every newborn a “Trump account” with $1000?

Your favorite campgrounds, hiking trails, and forests could soon be up for auction. Republicans want to make 250 million acres of public lands eligible for sale to housing developers. grist.org/politics/pub... #Politics #Hiking #Campgrounds #Housing #PublicLand

Fun to watch xenophobic bigots like Matt Walsh just now realize NYC has a lot of immigrants Zohran is going to make so many people tell on themselves and we are very here for it

this year has been A LOT, but we are seeing people come together time and again to try and right these wrongs and look out for their neighbors and the future.

If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Powerful piece www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

I don’t think the US should have weapons of mass destruction.

It's understandable we all mostly take it as a given that Trump doesn't bother to adhere to Constitution or the laws passed by Congress, but it is still both (a) absolutely necessary for our democracy and (b) good political strategy for Dems to file articles of impeachment over this.

Wow nice letter do something

the single image every genuinely freedom-loving american has been waiting for

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

All, call your reps. Do it now. "President Donald Trump said Saturday that U.S. warplanes carried out strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, calling the attack 'successful' and saying the aircraft had departed Iranian airspace." wapo.st/44c50rg

It’s wild that people don’t understand how a woman can like kids but not want them. Like, of course I am happy to talk to and watch out for this little weird person that someone I love created, but that doesn’t mean I want one. Stop devaluing the importance of aunts goddamnit

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

“Here we are, Mr. Trump. While you’re trying to destroy 🇺🇸, we’re trying to build it up.”

Martin Luther King III: I can't imagine what my father nor mother [would think] as we go through this period of history, beyond the fact that we must stay engaged and stay on the battlefield and until truth, justice, freedom and equality is exist for all humankind.

Remember in 2014 when the new U2 album was automatically installed in everyone's iTunes and everyone got really annoyed? Imagine if they'd installed it on every other programme you ever used. And it also somehow meant Bono could interrupt what you were doing and take over That's modern AI, that is

Leader Thune is blocking critical amendments that would fix the GENIUS Act – including stopping Donald Trump from lining his pockets with shady crypto deals. Democrats have the power to push for fixes to this bill. We should use it.

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

It is truly amazing how much Trump says “I have an unfettered right to rule” and how much the Constitution says “nobody has the right to rule; the people govern themselves” and nobody with any kind of platform or power points out the problem with this

The Democrats cannot win without progressive votes and volunteers, and trying to do so now is a gift to the fucking fascists.

Happy Pride! Let’s keep this Black queer person housed and fed pleeeeease

Peace isn’t something that happens, it is something that is enforced by removing the tyranny that disturbs it. Peace by itself has no value, peace accompanied by justice and fairness is the only peace worth having.

The way I want just someone prominent to stand up and say “The Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act are two of the best laws in any nation’s history and anyone who disagrees is a bad person who shouldn’t be allowed to hold power”

At the core of the counterargument to Trumpism is the ideal that we are all in this together. There is no one who deserves neglect or suffering from the government because of their political views. Not even if they voted for the suffering of others.

I really need people to understand that there is no humanitarian work which is “safe” from being negatively politicised in this ecosystem. The right will target everyone doing any kind of humanitarian work and demonise them. The goal is to alienate, isolate and destroy.

consequences of the death of the AI industry: - creates many more jobs - massively better for the arts, the sciences, education, news, the internet, mental health - critical acclaim from aliens watching us as reality TV, for moving away from a very embarrassing cringe comedy gimmick
