From LA to Chicago, the feds continue their horrid practice of aiming high and directly at press. When these agencies get to uncritically claim that videotaping is violence, this is the outcome: reporters getting hit in the face with “less lethals.” Unconscionable.

The thing that gets me about the Public Housing argument is that the NIMBYs who fight you when you try to make any kind of housing are going to fight you ten times harder if you try to make public housing because NIMBYism is inherently conservative and conservatives hate poor people.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

We didn’t have enough medics to keep today resourced (though we ended up staying an extra hour!) so many of us have dispersed. We’ll be back next Friday. Same time.

No protester has taken any violent action and yet ICE has deployed at least a dozen canisters of tear gas, detonated a flash bang in a man’s face, and now a sniper is shooting us with pepper balls.

We’ve moved down to the entrance where ICE drives into. Broadview police is insisting this is private property and we cannot go to the public street. ICE officers are driving in and out. Almost every single one has out-of-state plates.

THIS!!! Exactly this. We, as a species, 100% NEED a wide diversity of brains. We need hyper-alert folks keeping watch for animals. We need deeply focused folks devising new knapping patterns. We need folks who actually like sitting & shucking 5000 quahogs so we can eat in the winter.

“Secretary Kennedy has violated his oath of office and proven himself unfit to serve the American people. Congress must act to hold him accountable, and I intend to lead the charge to remove him from office,” Stevens said.”

do not fear these people // i will see you motherfuckers in court are dual messages we really need to hear from more of the elites who have been targeted by this admin

I've been hit by tech layoffs, which means I'm open for full-time marketing work in social media, content, events, and pretty much anything else you can think of. I've transferred my 12+ years of marketing skills across anime, games, TV, comics, and tech.. and I'm funny 😋.. TY for any shares/leads ❤️

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

It is wild that he’s almost literally just your classic mad premodern monarch, born tragically after his time

Started out his political career writing a book throwing his entire family under the bus, now a blood and soil type; started out calling Trump Hitler, now backing everything he does to the hilt. There is no real JD Vance. Just a void in the rough shape of a man.

Vance is a political leatherface, willing to wear whatever skin is convenient, absolutely uncaring about who he has to hurt along the way. Underneath whatever skin he’s wearing at the time, there’s nothing concrete, just an inchoate desire for power, whatever it takes to wield it.

I.................... you know what? sure.

Trans joy will always exist because I exist, amd I am filled with it.

This list really puts in perspective just how silly it is to delay this show over this one guy.

No, I want consequences

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Every time another basic income pilot like this concludes - the results are "unprecedented." It's almost like it's time for it to become universal or something.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Currently, there is a messaging bill sitting in the Energy Committee on Capital Hill that would make producing, installing, or owning solar panels a federal crime. That bill will never leave the committee. Breathlessly covering every messaging bill as if it can pass is not informing the public.

It has been a political reality since we started having elections that cranks will forward insane, facially unenforcable, illegal, or otherwise ridiculous bills when they have the legal power to do so, and these bills will go die in committee. They are called messaging bills.

I think it is, at bare minimum, a severe failure of journalistic integrity to cover this bill without mentioning that Michigan's Senate is firmly controlled by Democrats; their governor is a Democrat; their Judiciary is highly liberal; and the fact this bill has one co-sponsor.

So, where are our robots?

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

The state security force is merks some guys in all black carrying weapons? Proves their point that they’re protecting the public from these dangers to society. They merk a priest? Poof goes legitimacy.

The most dangerous person at a protest for a regime is a priest in a collar.

yeah, they have it roughly backwards. the ideal protester isnt an armed cadre who only uses signal, its a retired teacher and grandmother of three who makes the security services decide whether they’re comfortable batoning her to get by

The problem is they climbed up the escalation ladder too quickly. They've run out of credible "or elses." Or else what? You'll try to murder Congress then pardon the guys who did it and call them patriots? You'll have the Supreme Court overturn precedent without even explaining their reasoning?

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

With large corporations it will always come down to money. Altruism and doing whats right does not exist. Money does. Every. Single. Time.

"one day, everyone will have always been against this"

He didn't know how to pronounce "acetaminophen" during a press conference on acetaminophen. He looked as though it was literally the very first time he's even seen the word "acetaminophen" during a much-hyped press conference blaming acetaminophen for autism.

Oh yeah sure, that’s not just going to make people want to see what Kimmel’s saying on YouTube. That’s gonna work great in 2025.

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!) The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness. LOUDER.

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”

Trump is consolidating power mainly in areas where it's relatively easier for him to do so. When he faces real resistance, it's a different story. Stop acting like he's invincible.

You probably don’t need to be told this but as a parent of a 15 month old this is not remotely true. I don’t think we’ve had more than three shots at any one appointment and the syringes are actually very small.
