I'll be offline for a few days. Tell people who mean something to you that they mean something to you. Life is so very short and it is precious.

"Unsurprisingly, it’s easier to bounce back from allegations if you have a lot of money. Every venture capitalist or investor we identified either kept his job or found a new one." Via @ekp.bsky.social sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Is there any valid reason someone would go through so much effort to protect the KKK? Dark days indeed

Only one harasser admitted to doing something wrong and made efforts to learn and change sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

Also: "We did not include allegations against local clergy, because there are too many." sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

Harassing has so little long-term effect: "We found that 76% of the men we reviewed are professionally active, 41% are in the same or an elevated role since the allegations were made public" I'm glad someone is keeping track so industries hold people accountable sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

People in DC are doing their best to remind everyone that the list of sex offenders and pedophiles goes all the way to the top

There’s no excuse why Democrats haven’t flooded the airwaves about the plethora of sex offenders and pedophiles Donald Trump has personally put back into our neighborhoods.

Remarkable, must-read story about how @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social and @cheyennehunt.bsky.social brought down the despicable Eric Swalwell. This didn't happen overnight. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

Ugh I just went on Twitter and realized that I was following Vance because Harris is no longer our VP. How horrible.

please enjoy these classic Moon Tweets™

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

I really need all of us to abandon any impostor syndrome. It’s time.

well she did not consider pedophilia inappropriate so what does this even mean

Turns out access journalism is all about the access and not at all about the journalism

They Saw Their Neighbors Taken Away by ICE. Then They Made a Plan. The movement against ICE in Los Angeles — one that is starting to take root across the country — demonstrates a shift from symbolic protest to direct action. By Michelle Goldberg and Daniel Terna www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/o...

people who go “you hate them just because you disagree on ONE thing,” and the “one thing” is fundamental human rights

"you can embrace the chaotic, messy, sometimes frustrating democratic system that has produced more innovation than any other system in human history. Or ... a dictator who eagerly promises to make everything simple and efficient mainly by ignoring the nuances and complexities of reality"

Also if your company is collecting employee data, make sure you have strong privacy and security protections

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

One month apart.

My advice to trans people, get out while you can. It won't get better within at least two decades and most likely will only get worse. Your job is solely to survive. nonprofitquarterly.org/trans-refuge...

We need to do more to protect transgender people since the courts are failing. In 2023, Project Include shared 12 recommendations on how to support trans employees at work based on surveys of 3,000 workers and interviews of 20 experts. projectinclude.org/assets/pdf/P...

we've been shouting about this since gamergate btw

This gives me hope and I recommend you watch so it gives you hope, too.

So the Dems want to suck up to the most hated person in the US? Who hates unions, women, transgender people and Black people? Whose Tesla plant had areas called the "predator zone" and "plantation"? How much do you think he can donate? They really want to accelerate their path to self-destruction

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

It's Pride month, everyone. Instead of talking about it, why not implement our recommendations from "Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Inclusion in the Workplace: What companies need to know and do"?

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

If they included their own role in encouraging the fight against trans youth, it would be twice as long at least

ICE arrested a student on the way to volleyball practice in Milford, detained people waiting at an immigration court in Boston, smashed a car window of the wrong person in New Bedford, and the list goes on. Communities are right to speak out. This isn’t making us safer.
