20+ Democrats joined Republicans in undermining DC's public safety and Home Rule. This makes everyone less safe. A fight for DC autonomy is a fight for democracy. Shameful. wjla.com/news/local/h...

The two bills the House passed last night serve only to criminalize poverty and erode trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The Senate must vote these bills down and reject this blatant attack on DC’s local autonomy. Congress has no right to drag us backward.

“due to no legal or policy restrictions.” Testing on brown people before using it on you. American voters, foreign policy is domestic policy. This truth can no longer be ignored for the panacea of a mythical lesser evil.

We’ve jumped the shark. It’s bad enough the world will no longer trust us. It’s our kids who will suffer.

A lot of actors in here making terrible choices but I have the most noise for Sean Astin who is the sitting SAG-AFTRA president and has a fiduciary duty to not fuck around with fascists He should watch the Lord of the Rings. It has lessons! www.avclub.com/fox-news-nat...

repulsive. i spent years talking my mother out of being an antivaxxer because she was desperate to point to any cause of my sister’s autism after being told by all her older relatives it was caused by her being a bad mother. just preying on desperate people to cause preventable harm and death.

Women are dying because of the way anti-abortion laws were written. These deaths were predictable, predicted, and above and beyond any intrinsic trade off of preventing the termination of viable pregnancies in healthy women.

Data on race and ethnicity has put us on the cusp of breakthroughs in treating kidney failure, which disproportionately affects Black Americans. But the Trump administration has halted that data collection as part of its war on supposed "DEI." Important new story from @laylaayanna.bsky.social

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status. Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare. This is political and it is sexist.

It certainly sounds like he was murdered after just 4 days in custody. And that he's not the only one.

The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious, The Associated Press has found.

I’ve been trying to follow, as an outsider, the substantive discussion about Chi Ossé‘s candidacy beyond the NYT “let’s get them to fight” gossip and I understand why people are concerned about his run and also see why people are excited 1. Not great that he JUST joined DSA

Olivia Nuzzi is a bad writer, and I am entirely unimpressed with her sexual roster. It sits perfectly fine within my personal ethos to slut-shame anyone who chooses to lay with the detestable. Fucking the cretinous or having biblical knowledge of the contemptible is simply a bad use of a good time.

Should go without saying by now that after he's removed from office all of his official acts should be nullified

whatever you do to stop the regular operations within ice detention facilities is less violent than what they do within those walls as a matter of procedure.

As budget talks stall out, I keep coming back to this one. From a budget perspective, CPD operations are almost entirely discretional. (Mind you, pensions and lawsuits are another matter.) It is an active choice to prioritize this spending above all other spending, year after year.

Obviously bad because the idea is to scare states away from creating any regulations to begin with, but at this point, who isn't going to call their bluff just to see what kind of dingbat bullshit DOJ tries to file
