tech bros are obsessed with AI at least in part because they can conceive of these characters as eternal virgins and also program them to have cybersex on demand

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

watching kids be socialized into gender roles is so funny because my son has become convinced that only girls can like unicorns and have long hair, but has also begun demanding to wear a gold necklace, and right now he’s smashing Hotwheels together while listening to Anne of Green Gables

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:

ah yes, of course, the qualities we all agree make for the best actresses: smooth hair, never posts, virgin. wait, where is everyone going

every detail of this story is more sickening than the last, including the clear implication that landlords could be using ICE to evict vulnerable tenants

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

somehow this makes it sound like she has never even met stephen miller so she’s trying to make up a plausible story of what it’s like to be married to him based only off of having seen his speeches

i can't even wrap my head around what it would feel like to be one of these detainees, or one of their loved ones. this is dystopian nightmare fuel.

this is absolutely unhinged. the entire point of a college student studying children's literature is to engage with it on a scholarly level, not to have nice stories read to you like you're a five-year-old

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

What's the best thing you can do for families? Elect. Women. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

this framing is sort of funny given that feminists spent the last 15 years talking about what women wanted from men in sex and dating and the response was like “god, who cares”

The men we interviewed said the terror they felt in El Salvador began almost immediately upon arrival. Salvadoran police boarded the planes and began forcing the shackled men off — shoving them, throwing them to the ground, hitting them with their batons.

bro on the phone in the park: “so she’s 30, 31. and she’s a catch, dude, I mean, she’s a catch. BUT.”

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment. I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:

today my 5-year-old explained to me that saber tooth tigers all died out when a rocket ship crashed into earth. and on that rocket ship? the cro-magnons

such an honor to finally have Josh on the pod — and to discuss Julia Roberts in polka dots, no less!

the cruelty to mother and child here is unconscionable. this administration cannot claim to value family, motherhood, or children

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ali. Ali is 42, him and his wife Manar have 7 kids, Mohammed, 18, Haneen, 17, Amir, 15, Layan, 13, Zain, 10, Yazan, 10 and baby Yaman who is 6 months old. Ali is also taking care of his parents and his 21 year old brother. They need help.

i rotted all summer as a kid, i believe it can be great to spend unstructured time doing art and free play, i frankly have no specific desire to send my kid to “high-status” camps… and yet my husband and i both have to work (a lot) this summer, so camp it is

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

Law enforcement injure at least 4 journalists covering protests in California amid federal crackdown cpj.org/2025/06/law-...

if you've been watching the community defenses against ICE and thinking, "i support my comrades but i don't feel comfortable being on the ~front lines~" please know there are many other ways to support! you can drop off a case of water and snacks, buy medical supplies, donate to jail support, etc

pretty sure this is also a major factor contributing to why daycare is so expensive while teachers are shamefully underpaid

At least 200 Planned Parenthood clinics that provide basic health care are at risk of closing due to targeted Trump funding cuts. If they close, where will many patients go?

my fb has become inundated with these unsourced, clearly ChatGPT-written “quotes” purportedly from reality stars, most of which garner hundreds of credulous comments

not the main issue here but have we given up on losing/loosing as a society

Doctors have been clear that she will die within days” without this care, Lawyer Gina Amato said at a press. “Deporting this family under these conditions is not only unlawful, it constitutes a moral failure that violates the basic tenets of humanity and decency.”

I could keep them in berries for about 2 days but that’s assuming we’ve just thrown in the towel on vegetables

tbh I’ve had a lot of scary or unpleasant experiences both on the subway and while driving through manhattan, but the subway is the only place where I have also had unexpectedly life-affirming interactions with strangers!

wait until these people learn about menstruation

my first baby was hospitalized with rsv the same day nyc locked down, and i often think about how different the first two years of his life would have been if we had been able to vaccinate him for rsv — and covid

no one is talking about the biggest challenge facing Bluesky: how hard it is for those of us who had 20k followers from live-tweeting The Bachelor in 2014 to recreate our followings now that we post once a week about being a mom

Good morning, NYC. We have some very exciting news to share.

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives. Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:

planning a kid's birthday party is an interesting choice because it IS sort of miserable drudgery for me, but also i get incalculable meaning and satisfaction from being the one to give my kids that happiness

tie between “stepped into a cactus because I wasn’t looking where I was going” and “crossed my legs for too long and couldn’t use my knee properly for two years”

Who wants to slash Medicaid? NOBODY. Except the people in power. SHARE THIS!

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

i'm just a regular person but this is at odds with how i've seen corruption framed and covered in the media and in governmental regulations for my entire life

i have seen so many people in mom groups suggest “asking ChatGPT” for very sensitive legal advice about custody disputes or immigration troubles

these quotes make me so sad i actually started crying, everything is so fucked!!!

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk: -Is not accused of committing any crime -Is nonviolent -Was in this country legally -Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to -Has been locked up for six weeks
