The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

30 teachers means that there are upwards of 500 children being held in a private prison in the Texas desert.

A great tribute to our Uncle Paul! He also loved dogs. My dog Bowen and I visit Portland's Our House every couple weeks for pet therapy visits. It's he sister location here in Portland to where Paul (and close family/friends) spent time at Bailey Boushay House. I think about him when we visit.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

BREAKING Trump's activation of the troops to Portland remains BLOCKED. The Ninth Circuit's en banc bench agrees to hear the case, VACATING a three-judge panel's recent decision pausing the lower court's restraining order. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

No Kings protest against Trump draws 40,000 in Portland, Oregon!!! www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

No Kings, Portland, Oregon

Patriot Prayer is the org most responsible for the Chud side of the Chud/Black Bloc fighting in Portland in Trump I. At least one murder and more assaults than can be counted are on their shoulders from that time. Turns out they were in regular contact with the PPB Rapid Response Team.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles. More on how the tone of Portland's protests has shifted: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

We were notified that our health insurance premiums would double a couple of weeks ago.

This awful story, is a metaphor for our time. Our president lies about murder and rape in Portland while a 17 YO MAGA kid kills 2 girls for "making fun of Charlie Kirk" after stalking & harassing one of the girls for months. His dad's a cop. His uncle's a chief. H/T @qasimrashid.com

Over the weekend, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller repeatedly attacked judges, calling them part of an "organized terrorist attack" on the US government.... On Saturday, the home of a judge who ruled against Trump, went up in flames time.com/7323442/sout...

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

This is why Johnson and Thune didn't want the meeting Trump is in a bubble. Gov Kotek pierced it this weekend Think about how often he's asked questions and has no idea what reporters mean. And the medbeds video. JFC Part of it is his declining mental capacity. But also shows he's not in charge

As the President flouts the Posse Comitatus Act by sending troops to Portland, I can’t help but be struck by the irony that Portland was the birthplace of the Christian Nationalist and white supremacist, right wing domestic terror group called the Posse Comitatus.

There is an increase of federal agents in Portland. We did not ask for this. We do not need this. And we certainly will not be divided by this. We stand united in our values and reject this egregious abuse of power.

Seems like it should be bigger news that Bannon, Thiel, and Musk were frequent Epstein guests and Musk seems to have gone to the child-rape island.

Man, this meeting could be the biggest fuck-up in US Military history.

Just talked with my wife, we are cancelling our Disney+ subscription. If you have one, I encourage you to do the same.

I hadn't actually watched this clip until now but Kilmeade doesn't say "euthanize" or anything like that. there's no reason to euphemize his language, the man is talking about murder.

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

the permission structure created for a bloodthirsty maga rampage the last two days by mainstream media, all before any facts were known at all, deserves some real introspection by the entire industry

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

This makes Trump's antisemitic comments about bankers feel even more like a Rowling character

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

The President gets a day to celebrate mass murder &lawlessness & then we get back up, dust off, & fight like fuck for our nation. Democracy isn't for the weak willed and it isn't for the doomers, it's for people like us who love our neighbors and are willing to fight to make sure they thrive.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

LAT posts a picture of Narciso Barranco, who was violently assaulted by ICE, with his 3 Marine sons. These are the proud Americans Stephen Miller is targeting. www.latimes.com/california/s...

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Just returned from #nokings LA and here are some observations....

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Today, I had pancakes on my deck and then went for a walk in the park and now I'm at the Huntington Library and the only dangerous scary awful thing I've seen is National Guard troops gassing grandmothers and this post from a cunt.

If donors are looking to help Dems w/messaging, I have an idea better than a single bro...

Congratu-BLEEPING-lations! It’s time we had a little talk about your use of expletive infixation. ‘Expletive infixation’ is the linguistic term for profanity inserted into a word for emphasis. (For this thread, we’ll use 'BLEEPING,' but feel free to substitute another word.)

Cory Booker is giving a masterclass in how Democrats should be fighting right now—standing firm, refusing to back down, and laying bare the personal stories of lives wrecked by Trump, Musk, and the GOP. Watch Cory absolutely cook 👇

They have come for our libraries and our museums. If you dont see that the nazis are in charge, then you are the problem!

My politics are simple.. In the richest country on the face of the earth, no one should live on the streets.

Maybe Carney should officially rename these American Geese because they shit all over everything.

Fine, fine. The communists at OpenAI thought Trump‘s speech was so unhinged it had to be fictional, but what about the Grok 3 model from a truly unbiased source, Elon Musk’s X.ai? Oh.

Marco Rubio today.
