Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.” Additionally, motions 29 and 33 for acquittal and a new trial were denied from the bench.

They sentenced someone who wasn’t even at the ICE protest to 30 years in prison for moving “left-wing zines” at the request of his wife, who was arrested at the protest.

This is cruel & unusual punishment. A sign of growing full-on authoritarianism in the US: 50 & 70 yrs in prison for setting off fireworks & vandalizing cars during an an anti-ICE protest. One person fired a gun that injured a cop (100 yrs for him). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.

FUCK

The Supreme Court's fifth and final decision is Blanche v. Lau, another 6–3 split. Per Thomas, the government does NOT require clear and convincing evidence that a green card holder committed a crime before divesting them of their lawful status at the border. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Tomorrow, all dads are 50% off

It is time once again to discuss the Most Dad Things we have done in the past year. A couple of reminders: - gender is a social construct, anyone can do Dad Things - you need not be a parent to do a Dad Thing - the definition of a Dad Thing is entirely subjective and maybe made up I’ll go first:

If you're a young trans man or trans masc person who needs a dad today, congrats. I am your dad now. I am proud of you and what you've accomplished although some of your young person culture and choices perplex me. I am proof trans men can be middle aged married dudes. You can be too some day. Live.

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

Is it time for another one of my Californian rants about how batshit insane it is that so much of the East Coast’s beaches are heavily controlled + privatized for the benefit of loathsome rich coastal property owners?

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

It kinda got lost in the madness, but the federal conspiracy case against anti-ICE activists in Minnesota - the Minneapolis 15 - is a big deal It's not just the 1st Amendment abuse. It's part of their plan to crush dissent ahead of a stolen election My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

More 10-year-olds say they want puppies than parents do. What's behind the divide?

lmao poor yorick. they got his ass

If you are under 45 in the US, you should get this. Your gender is irrelevant here. Shout out to my one ex who listened to me after we broke up and was like, "I got the shots" It's a series. I got the series, like, eons ago. If you already have HPV, get the shots. It covers many strains.

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

birds do it bees do it even educated fleas do it let's do it let's hate ai

nothing worse than picking up a book at a free little library called like, "The Silly Shoe," and then halfway through you find out the silly shoe was on jesus's foot at the crucifixion

Even fascism is no match for the All-Conquering Power and Holy Terror of the Soul-Destroyer, the Word that Breaks Wills and Slows Time — the Environmental Impact Statement.

Important note: you can still get the HPV vaccine even into your 40s. You can also get it even if you have had HPV before because there are multiple strains and while it can't help you clear out HPV you already have, it can help prevent infection from other strains you don't have yet.

THE COURTROOM SKETCH ARTIST DREW THE MOMENT THEY REALIZED THEY FORGOT LUIGI

After charging 15 people with "Antifa" crimes for participating in rapid response networks, federal agents are pepper-spraying people outside the Federal Courthouse in the Twin Cities right now. They want to establish an autocracy. Everyone's freedom is at stake.

electronics confiscated, and they are getting arrested. 15 people arrested this morning, many in South Minneapolis. 612-644-2654 (legal observers guild, arrest hotline) 612-200-0844 (first defense hotline, if arrested in Hennepin County, for a volunteer lawyer visit)."
