I was the chief author who passed the conversion therapy ban in MN and while doing that, I met many people who experienced the so-called therapy. And I need to be clear, conversion therapy is TORTURE. It is ineffectual torture that we sanction for children. And it's WRONG.

History teaches us that it is totally fine and good not to pay your troops!

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

God they’re such weird edgelord losers.

anyway god speed to the good folks at cbs news who will now be taking editorial direction from this genius bsky.app/profile/oliv...

California's governor says Hollywood-Burbank airport has no air traffic controllers this evening due to the federal government shutdown. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/ne...

There it is.

Analysis finds that “comparing a single day before the speed camera implementation with one day after, average speeds came down at every single one of those 15 corridors last month. It also found that the share of vehicles speeding by more than 10 miles an hour over the limit fell by a whopping 78%“

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Trump-appointed judge excoriates DOJ for attempting to bring National Guard troops from additional states to Oregon after a TRO blocking mobilization; issues a second TRO prohibiting calling up CA. ⤵️

There are so many ways to stop Stephen Miller. We should try them all. Alphabetically is fine.

My first Castro Street Fair was right after I moved to the Castro in 1997. The Fair has always embodied the joy & freedoms that define our community — freedoms under assault by this repressive regime. We need to build & strengthen community & have each other’s backs. On the positive side … 🧵

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the bad guys know they’re losing, so it’s important to read it when they say it out loud.

If I had to figure this out while trapped in a burning vehicle, I’m 100% dying in a fire. sfstandard.com/2025/10/04/g...

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

Putting aside Kilmar Ábrego García’s fate in immigration court, which is not a real court: He has been winning at every step of the federal judiciary, in a maze of criminal and civil cases, and that’s why the Trump administration is throwing everything at him. This streak continues in Tennessee:

Unanimous First Circuit takes pains to emphasize that this was an incredibly easy case to decide, despite writing a very long opinion knocking down every ridiculous argument the Trump admin made.

Meanwhile in the US, “FEAR OF GOD” hoodies fuel a new Great Awakening

i actually prefer it when the mods actively hate the user base and vice versa, that’s how every great message board worked for years and i think we should give it a whirl

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Oh, Portland. Never change.

Someone mentioned they hate running because they hate being alone with their thoughts. I love running because when I run it's the very definition of head empty. All I'm thinking about is breathing, pace, hand swing, foot strike. I don't have space to overthink or be anxious about the world.

Completely outrageous. The ICE raid in Chicago on the early morning of the 30th was conducted by absolute cowards - men descending by helicopter in the middle of the night to abuse women and children. It's time for the state to take legal action against out of control federal agents.

and importantly, hereditary Catholics know that you don't get into the Holy Father's replies and argue the Bible with him if you disagree; what you do is acknowledge Papal supremacy as absolute and then ignore him and do whatever you want all the time without ever acknowledging a contradiction

A year ago, the head of WrestleMania sending demand letters to Brown, USC, UVA, and Penn would have been the funniest thing. (It still is, Linda McMahon is the worst and least qualified Secretary of Education in US history).

Meanwhile in SF…

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

“There will not be a stoppage of ballroom work when the shutdown occurs,” the White House says as federal workers go without pay and millions could see huge increases in health care costs this year. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

David Cross folks.

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

THE MEME IS REAL

Feds just arrested a reporter at the ICE facility outside Chicago

Embarrassing.

If you can nullify it, it’s not an election.

Dropped the fancy Chase card ahead of 10/5. 💳 A thousand bucks for a card plus one user is nuts - esp with benefits getting worse/tougher to use. Good run while it lasted.
