We need people like Dr. Bolivar. Glad ACEP is taking a stand and getting involved. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

There also isn't a single trans person in prison in Northern Ireland.

The problem with them is that because they're grounded in a specific, though real, kind of bigotry, and so they kind of stop short at a certain point, which can cause issues ranging from the practical and organizational to the emotional and empathetical. Often, they take you so far and no farther.

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

I’m glad Swalwell is out of the race, but if this really was an “everybody knew“ situation then I still have some serious questions for every member of Congress who endorsed him.

I fought these things in Witcher 3

Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

“i hope you meet jd vance” is about to become an actionable threat

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

He’s more likely to allege fraud than congratulate him. Like 10x more likely 🙄

Look at how incredibly bad Trump's job approval numbers are with nearly all demographic groups. This is a historically disastrous presidency and large swaths of the American people are registering their disapproval. assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/cms/prod...

we won't get the media coverage vance deserves for these failures, but just wait, because they're gonna make jd vance do all of the important midterm roadshows in the summer and fall and he's going to trip on his shoelaces and fall on his face on most of those, too

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... “We need to imagine a more democratic, egalitarian, more generous country, one that operates in recognition of an abundance of wealth that should serve all of us – nature and future generations too – rather than is driven by the moral poverty of billionaires.”

All of this. The way our work lives, in my household, have changed since 2022 or so is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. We’re an illustrator and designer who’ve felt it majorly. We were vocal. No one listened. Even ignored because… who cares? No clue or care until it affects them directly.

We have to raise our political expectations.

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

Women are just gorgeous, smart, sexy, fun so many wonderful things

I understand so much about the WNBA …

Reminder: they are never as powerful as they want you to think they are

If Bluesky deletes me- I’ll have zero regrets- I signed up to promote my writing and I can’t do that now because it will just trigger another round of Molly Shah did this to benefit herself and I also am no longer verifying people anymore so it’s not even useful to have the platform for that

Sunday afternoon in Tompkins, food not bombs, dance party, man eating an entire Costco chocolate rabbit for virality

If anything they’ve been inclined to celebrate Black people being pushed out of public life as the long overdue turn towards a more “substantive” politics, etc

A lot of people who should’ve known better went out of their way to support his efforts to end affirmative action and now that he’s continuing to target Black people through lawsuits they’re not inclined to self-reflect on what they did at all.

"Beacon to the right"? Jeezus, #BrokenTimes, Orbán is a far-right authoritarian. Good riddance. Congratulations, Hungary. Hungary’s Orban, Beacon to the Right, Concedes Election Defeat www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/w...

If in 2026, you are STILL saying 'why didn't X survivor/victim of sexual assault go to the cops or prosecutors?' then you cannot be trusted to drive a car or live by yourself because you are ignorant.

If you’re still asking why Eric Swalwell got exposed now please read this.

Mood.

People on here and elsewhere often cavalierly comment that if they were abused, they would kill their abusers. The reality is that if you do, you are likely to spend the rest of your life in prison because in particular women who kill their abusers are judged extremely harshly.

The latest Iran War Lego propaganda video is the most powerful yet. And it asserts that Trump went to Epstein’s island “40+ times,” despite his claims to the contrary. (Worth keeping in mind that this is PROPAGANDA and the regime murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens to stay in power.)

Read mine last year. Loved it.

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

This team is, in part, about keeping the count on death and human damage, but these humans make it just about bearable.

These Immigration updates are brought to you by a whole village but I need to say aloud that team leads @magicbeans.bsky.social and @yvonnezlam.bsky.social and our permanent editor @jostewart.myatproto.social are among the best, toughest, most determined truth-finders I have ever worked with.

Slam dunk by Mr. Bunch again. Slam-dunk-a-Bunch if you will.

The Presidential Records Act isn’t complicated. It was passed after Watergate for a reason & it’s very clear about what belongs to the public & what doesn’t. That’s what makes the new position DOJ is taking so disturbing. I explain here: joycevance.substack.com/p/killing-hi...

TRUMP: “Do everything I ask or I’ll bomb you back into the Stone Age!” IRAN: “How about, instead, you do everything we ask and we’ll call it a day?” TRUMP: “Deal.” FOX NEWS: “Awesome Trump is the world’s most masterful negotiator!”

A U.S. judge in Washington ruled on Thursday that the Pentagon is hampering journalists in defiance of a court order that required it to restore access to credentialed reporters covering the seat of U.S. military power.

we're live!

To sort of paraphrase Dr. Joanne Freeman, the Trump regime is dragging us down a path covered with broken glass on a daily basis, and you just don’t do this to your citizenry. I’ve had it with this 🤡. Remove Trump. Vote House blue. Fight the regime. Prevent a recurrence. Demand accountability.
