Hallelujah, they are risen. 🧟‍♀️ Cannot wait for this one - after the excellent middle instalment (very much the Empire Strikes Back or Two Towers of zombie films), hopefully they can round things out in a suitable manner.

If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

according to the person third in line to the presidency and his wife, men’s brains are like waffles and women’s are like spaghetti * * actual analogy

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story. The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth. And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Bless his heart

Populist Dems won. Moderate Dems won. We won in blue states. We won in purple states. Maybe the take is that (a) people think Trump is out of control; and (b) people like Dems when we're taking a stand and fighting for what we believe in - as we have been for the last month.

More women are defying traditional beauty standards and finding empowerment by going without hair on their heads.

Has Albert Speer Jr here actually seen Trump tower?

A dramatic reading of the names of the corporations and fat cats who enabled Trump's demolition of the East Wing by donating millions of dollars to this ballroom project, a monument to Trump's ego. And they all have big financial interests that can be affected by the Trump administration.

Idk whether this is niche or common sense but I think it's unethical for universities to charge faculty and staff for parking when they don't offer WFH option or provide on campus housing or alternative transportation.

Unions that just won an order YESTERDAY blocking mass firings during the shutdown report that "multiple credible sources" say the Department of the Interior plans another wave of layoffs on Monday. The judge convened an emergency hearing tomorrow. Background www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-voug...

Germany’s parliament met only 20 times during the Nazis’ 12-year reign, and didn’t meet at all in the last 3 years. MAGA Mike Johnson is going after that record.

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages. The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

CNN is using a photo from the 1992 Los Angeles riots for an article explaining why Trump wants to deploy national guard troops to Portland:

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.
