Wicker, the Senator who helped Pete Hegseth out of committee, is arguing that Trump shouldn't make the shitty deal he's going to have to make. He's delusional. You broke it dude. We shouldn't have to suffer because you're a moron and all your friends are too.

Children are human beings, not property. They don't belong to their parents. Their parents belong to them. We can't endanger children to please their stupid, intolerant parents. This is absurd.

“The GOP thinks they can legislate transgender people out of existence," said Takano, "but all they’re doing is making life worse for a small minority of already-vulnerable children.”

I think the part in the subheadline here is probably more important than what got put in the headline, tbh

all americans are created equal which is why equality demands that we obliterate all representation for 40 percent of the people of the state

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Fetterman but he's hardly alone.

It was truly one of the most shameful failings of that Senate majority.

I love how, even if Democrats win the Senate, there is a strong chance they still cannot do shit to respond to Republicans because of Democrats who want to act like one. Democrats absolutely need to impeach Bove. He is unfit to serve.

Wut

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT RACE.

They genuinely want to live in a country where every piece of media is made to their Dutton Ranch specifications, *and* they don’t have a leg to stand on in defense of the current state aside from explicit white supremacy.

Yup Conservatives running back to the “Hollywood is forcing Black people on us well” is two fold. They genuinely thought that if they elected Trump they could control and direct popular culture and beliefs by fiat. They’re running all the branches of government and their actions have been disastrous

Nothing is inevitable

Masterful gambit etc etc

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

Uh.....Cuba is famously 90 miles from NATO.

And rural hospitals are only one chunk of the local health care ecosystem and economy. Clinics and pharmacies will close. Providers will leave. Support staff from janitors to receptionists will be out of jobs. Economies will rot from the inside out.

The rural hospital crisis is killing people and rapidly escalating. The Republican cuts to Medicaid are basically going to be the end of hospital services in the rural US.

Workers carpooling were racially profiled and had their windows smashed without "any meaningfully reasonable time for the driver to comply" according to a judge. An ICE goon yelled "Bust it! Bust it!" like he was giddy to damage property which they further did breaking a passenger's phone.

Yeah, y'all: we told you it would. LLM based "AI" concatenates strings of next-most-likely tokens. It bullshits. It makes shit up. An inventory situation where the systems need to "count" & "report" doesn't *change* that fundamental architecture; so why are these people continually surprised by it??

NEW: Colorado’s League of Women Voters has withdrawn a planned “Leader of Democracy” Award for Gov Jared Polis after he gave clemency to Tina Peters.

Choking on the blistering injustice of the Callais decision, even normie Democrats are starting to make noise about drastically remaking the Supreme Court. But if they get the chance, will they have the stomach? talkingpointsmemo.com/news/democra...

Not the same level of offense, but my school's president called one of our disabled students "uncivilized" for visible/audible tics during a meeting, and didn't deny it when asked for comment lanthorn.com/129447/news/...

Over the last year, my college's administration learned that it worked at a school.

For realsies tho, the average university administrator sees actual students as an unpleasant distraction from universities’ real businesses: real estate development, sports entertainment, military technology, and solicitation of alumni donations. bsky.app/profile/bria...

White traitors getting reparations before the people who taught them what that word even means... God, I hate it here.

Like I often tell people, racism isn’t about political party. Plenty and I mean PLENTY white people are lifelong Democrats and, of course, quite racist. Republicans don’t have a monopoly on racism. It just shows up different in Democrats.

Incredible that Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world and we just tolerate them selling counterfeit and stolen goods

The election of Donald Trump didn't improve the state of Gazans. No one thought it would. Most leftists who were engaged enough to give a shit actually did vote for Harris, so much so that I now believe Gaza was not as significant factor in non-voting behavior as much as apathy.

This is the received wisdom of white millennial "leftists," and it's trash and I'll tell you why. First of all. There was a primary. The Democrats chose Biden and Harris.

UW-Madison has almost 52,000 students. It has a dairy farm, dairy sciences, forestry and top notch humanities. It also works closely with dairy and other farmers throughout the state to improve their output. Big publics do it all.

The executive branch broke the law to go after American citizens who protested their inhumane detention.

Y’all are doing more crying and whining about The Colbert Show being cancelled than y’all are about Voting Rights being cancelled. We see you.

The Justice Department leaked sensitive personal information of some epstein victims. Where is their slush fund???

NEW: Thune filed cloture on Katie Lane's nomination today, teeing up votes starting June 1. Lane was rated Not Qualified, possesses an alarming anti-civil rights record, and will bring her bias to the bench in service of Trump’s authoritarian agenda. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/trumps-ant...

Disabled people experience food insecurity at double the rate of non-disabled people. Disabled people are not getting along fine. It just has very little to nothing to do with DoorDash.

Probably moot point, but FBI director having an apparel store is not normal.

The GOP is the party of terrorists.

What good does all this do? How about Mitch and hos fellow Republicans tell Thune to do his job

A disgraceful end to a shameful case that never should have been brought in the first place. I'm glad Kat and the Broadview Six finally get their lives back, but they are owed an apology and the public deserves full accountability for what happened here.

The Nazi-watchers are saying DHS Nazi'd too hard and created more Nazis. Great.

it's great how people drag their trauma with their school system into any discussion of primary education they enter. it's cool that people can't differentiate between "my school system abused me" and "education is abuse." i think we're finally gonna solve children's rights with "is teaching abuse"

We do not disbar enough lawyers or impeach enough judges bsky.app/profile/kate...

The way the leftists have given up the game and now they support a nazi in Maine and a billionaire in California lol.

Hello?? THIS PLEASE!

Semafor's @burgessev.bsky.social reporting the White House is privately threatening to Senate Republicans that he will veto Republicans' party-line reconciliation bill that funds ICE and CBP if they block funding for his ballroom or his slush fund

If Baldwin County, Alabama sounds at all familiar, it's because it's also where this U.S. citizen keeps getting detained by immigration agents This is why talking about immigration enforcement solely in the context of flashy surges into major cities is misguided bsky.app/profile/eric...

this is what I mean when I say "don't let orgs and managers see discriminating against trans folk as the path of last resistance". transphobes are persistent and annoying. be just as annoying. show them compliance is going to be a legal nightmare
