This is how stupid this is. They are not canceling an imminent primary. WE ALREADY HAD OUR PRIMARY. WITH THE ORIGINAL MAPS. EXCEPT THEY TOLD US TO VOTE IN THEM KNOWING MAYBE THEY'D CHANGE??

my 2028 candidate is whoever promises to take the construction equipment that lay waste to the east wing of the white house and drive it directly to the supreme court of the united states

Situation in Democrats' #NJ12 primary: In each of the 4 counties in NJ12, a local politician from that county is 1st right now (Brad Cohen, Shanel Robinson, Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, & Adrian Mapp). But Adam Hamawy is 2nd in all 4 counties, & narrowly leads the overall race.

Tonight, hours before our election count begins, USC's admin formally ran to the Trump federal NLRB asking them to overturn democracy. This shit is wildly cynical and has huge implications for academic workers nationally and I am begging my journalist followers to get in touch

CALIFORNIA voters - legit if you're dropping off your ballot today, go to a dropbox, they're all over the place

This ruling is horrendous. According to the court, individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their disability limits their ability to experience freedom. This is dehumanising in the extreme.

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

We already have enough trouble with trans healthcare being seen as frivolous, cosmetic, artifice, unnecessary. We don't need to add to that narrative. Talking about trans issues isn't difficult, but you have to be willing to let go of the idea that sex is some unchangeable essence. Which most don't!

Voting in California ends tomorrow. If you're in the city of Los Angeles, two good voting guides here. www.laforward.org/voterguide and dsa-la.org/wp-content/u... Also vote Nithya Raman for mayor.

An old man’s fruit trees, century + old olive trees, a town’s electrical lines all pulled out of the ground. The homes of elderly folks razed to the ground. An old Palestinian woman telling me ‘death is better than life’ after her 3rd displacement in 2 years.

June 1 so AHA members, it’s time to vote the weasels out.

headlines praising the reduction in immigration numbers to the UK will be followed at some point with headlines complaining about the UK's ageing population and there will be zero attempt to make the obvious link between the two

I honestly can’t say if it feels like this happened on June 1 decades ago or June 1 now apnews.com/today-in-his...

Speaking as someone who’s on the governing board of my nation’s college, having an opportunity for Indigenous students to attend college or university close to home is a huge game changer. It’s also why I’ll always offer at least a few of my BSU Indigenous Studies courses online/hybrid every year.

Sheriff Richard Jones not only brags about being racist, he has been feeding everyone in his jail "mystery meat" to meet their minimum caloric countent.

Anti-porn, anti-sex worker, and anti-sex censorship directly corresponds to a tilt downward into a more ideologically conservative and oppressive society. Regardless of your personal comfort with nsfw content on the internet, it's absolutely critical to support it right now.

Immigrants jailed at Delaney under a $1 BILLION contract w/private prison profiteer GEO Group “report maggots in the food, severe lapses in medical care (the facility has already experienced one death in Dec.), unsanitary conditions, and disregard for basic due process and access to legal counsel.”

Lots of folks asking me about this today ... My LGBTQ+ vertical, Big & Bright, will continue at least a little bit longer so please keep reading my newsletter. In the meantime, let me know if you want to collaborate on anything, and send me story tips and job openings.

it feels like so many people have completely memory-holed the 1619 project and how so many moderates and centrists absolutely lost their minds at what was a pretty mild centering of Black people's contributions and experience in this country

I have done almost no publicity for my own work in a bit on account of *recalls the past few months* BUT I’m gonna pick it back up because they’re pretty good comics, and I hope more people enjoy them!

What's in a name? PCOS is now PMOS, following a global renaming effort. Sex health writer Martha Kempner explains why this "poorly understood" condition needed a better name, and interviewed an OB-GYN, a midwife, and patients with PMOS see if they think it'll make a difference.

NEW: Today, the Trump administration proposed a rule that would strip government money from any program that acknowledges diversity, abortion, or even the existence of transgender and nonbinary people. Inflation is at its highest point in three years, btw.

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

It’s #RomanceColumn time again! We’ve got: a glamorous gem of a lesbian bodyguard romance, an angst monster contemporary about rival pianists at a hypercompetitive arts college, and a Black cowboy romance in the Texas heat. Gift link! #booksky #Romancelandia 💙📚

What if women got to participate in public and civic life on dignified and equal terms even if they really were in fact ugly, unmarried, childless, gay, or otherwise broadly sexually unappealing to men? ha ha ha ha ha what if.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

I have already spent thousands of $$s in legal and relocation fees. Moving back to the United States on an expedited O-1 talent visa application will take another $6,000. I humbly ask you to be a champion of press freedom and support @thexylom.com, so I can continue to do this work I deeply love:

With the current administration in collapse, I do hope Democrats start to communicate an intention to punish appeasing institutions in the future.

It's worth remembering that this is the Facebook post that got Suzanne Swierc fired. I have undying disdain for the many institutions that engaged in a moral panic over Charlie Kirk.

Scott Kupor, head of OPM, says NDAs are just good private practice. Kupor used to work for Andreessen-Horowitz, a venture capital firm. Two things: 1) VC firms typically refuse to sign NDAs with investment prospects 2) In states that banned NDAs, VC backed firms started hiring many fewer women

was watching a video of a survivor of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake visiting the ruins of her elementary school (now a memorial site) on the 18th anniversary. She poured cup after cup of baijiu onto the ground, toasting each of her childhood friends lost in the earthquake, telling them

the thing is the existing law is *literally Jim Crow policy*, the only reason they banned state public unions was because the then-Dixiecrat government flipped out about a potential integrated hospital union in the 40s bsky.app/profile/spic...

INBOX: Journalists at the five McClatchy newspapers in Washington and Idaho (the Idaho Statesman, Bellingham Herald, Tri-City Herald, Tacoma News Tribune and The Olympian) are calling a one-day strike today over wages and AI protections. That means no clicking on any links to their sites for today.

The National Abortion Hotline Union is on strike today. Read more about their fight to win protections against being replaced with AI:

A lot of people are responding to this with “Elon Musk doesn’t care,” and the like and that’s all fine and well but you should. It shouldn’t be up to Elon Musk’s personal whims whether or not this is acceptable.

Wow, the tide is turning

This is pretty shockingly evil. Wild (if not surprising) that Washington does this while maintaining that Cuba is a threat to the USA.

If you’ve been procrastinating like I did now’s the time

It’s been a year of torture, pain and fear for Abrego Garcia and his family, and I pray they get rest and healing out of the limelight. That said, a year ago and change people were saying that raising the salience of immigration was a loser in the fight against Trump. Now look.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

the Cowlitz Indian Tribe has put up a live Beaver Kit Cam, you can watch a beaver mom raise her four babies here :)

:In less than a year, Israel has kidnapped and abused more than 40 Irish people, including me, and it has faced absolutely no consequences from our Government for these actions."

Anna Liedtke of the #FreedomFlotilla was raped by Zionist soldiers. "I’m sharing it for all the women who experience sexual violence [and] on behalf of those who did not survive those attacks, those who cannot speak about it because they are still in prison." www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Israel has killed more than 120 rescue workers, damaged 16 hospitals, and targeted over 130 ambulances in Lebanon since March 2nd

This is like trying to drill for oil through the ruins of Pompeii. Chaco canyon is one of the most significant native archeological sites in the United States. Absolutely disgusting to even propose it

Ousting the main opposition party's leadership is obviously a huge escalation. I am not sure though whether this constitutes THE turning point for autocratization in Turkey. IMO, this move was possible because democratic institutions and rule of law are already dismantled.

Implicit (but rarely stated directly) in the tributes to Colbert is that he is pretty obviously being taken off the air because Trump's FCC loyalists engaged in viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment by conditioning anti-trust approval of a corporate merger on his being fired.

Because Weiss was in college at the same time I was and her witch-hunt at Columbia was my first exposure to anti-Palestinian campus politics, I have never forgotten that she was handpicked and trained by Netanyahu’s ghost-writer. She has always been a propagandist. www.columbia.edu/cu/current/p...
