Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

A foundational principle of this country is that the military shouldn’t police our communities — and a federal judge agrees.

lol this country's obsession with (white) mediocrity will be its downfall

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Absolutely she’s right. It’s even worse than she reports.

The Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Happy Birthday to writer Gore Vidal (born Oct 3, 1925 – died 2012). Novelist, essayist, political critic, and bisexual icon, he challenged convention and shaped American culture. #GoreVidal #QueerHistory

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard members to Portland over the governor's objections. This decision reinforces one of our country's core principles: The military has no place policing our communities.

Thanks Carl!

"A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough, the Mississippi State Department of Health announced on Monday, marking the state’s first whooping cough death in 13 years. The infant was less than two months old and was not old enough to receive the pertussis vaccine, the agency said."

Rogan shouldn’t even be on the air for what he’s done and y’all are gonna hand him awards in a desperate attempt at appearing neutral or something. Fucking embarrassing.

Help me understand what the word “best” means in this context, cause at least four of these podcasts regularly promote dangerous conspiracy theories, sometimes overtly antisemitic ones! Do we just not care about the ethics of content if it’s in pod form? Imagine “The Jews Did It!” winning an Emmy.

Keep your kids and your whole family away from republicans. They do some scary shit.

Secretary Pete Hegseth's new facial hair grooming standards are discriminatory against troops who can't shave for religious reasons and Black and Brown people, who are more likely to have skin conditions that make shaving difficult and painful.

Reckon a lot of people are struggling with seeing someone say "Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics The Right Way" when

If trans people had spent less time complaining about jokes and more time beheading Jamal Khashoggi, wealthy comedians would never have called them out for the horrific crime of woke cancel culture.

Another couple of mass shootings today in the United States. Must be a day of the week ending with the letter Y.

Their feelings are very delicate

She basically invented astrophysics. She proved the laws of chemistry, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, not just gravity, applied universally. She determined the composition of the sun and primacy of hydrogen in the universe. She advised the PhDs of Frank Drake and Frank Kameny.

Once again, if you are just repeating shit from this administration, including especially Kash Patel, you are most likely repeating lies and spreading misinformation

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

If you see signs of anti-abortion activists in your community being more disruptive than usual—or if you spot anything unusual or worth passing on—be sure to let us know at [email protected]. And maybe consider showing a little extra love and support to your local abortion providers.

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

I’ve been combating medical misinformation for over two decades, and this feels not just quantitatively different, but qualitatively different.

Russia moved to amplify online conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s killing just hours after it happened, seeding social media with the frightening claim that America is slipping into civil war. apnews.com/article/char...
