jk rowling uses her money to fund groups that push for transphobic international outcomes and helped bring the case in front of the English supreme court that defined trans women as "separate but equal" and removed several civil rights protections. there is no way to ethically consume harry potter

So the company and its product will be destroyed, right?

Maybe there is something to this germ theory after all…

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Former Customs and Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino’s use of chemical irritants during the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota is among 17 criminal investigations now underway in Hennepin County.

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

If you don’t think you know anyone with long covid what you really mean is that people are uncomfortable sharing their health status with you or there are people who have dropped out of your life (due to illness) that you haven’t checked up on.

Hey @shaheen.senate.gov and @hassan.senate.gov it’s not to late to issue a statement saying you regret confirming Kristi Noem to lead DHS. Your colleagues Sen. Kaine and Sen. Kim did.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution. archive.ph/E2pfS

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

They gave clippy the ability to lie and somehow that’s worth a trillion dollars and the entire economy is now based on it 🤷‍♂️

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

I explained gay in like two seconds, that was easy, and then she asked me to explain electricity

I'm glad rich people have Tamogotchis now but if they're not going to devote their lives to ending hunger, homelessness and genocide, maybe they should go to the ASPCA and do something worthwhile but 1% harder.

Is there some scifi book about rich people assigning computers agency and "sadness" so they can fix the computer "sadness" but ignore the suffering of the real-life people they're brutalizing and/or ignoring? Anyway, either way, it's a website, it doesn't have feelings, and none of this is real.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

No reporter should give him credit for this. He absolutely did this intentionally. It’s a common anti-vax talking point that a combination of vaccines might cause autism. And it’s something Bhattacharya has previously suggested on a podcast.

“Any single vaccine” is the key phrasing here. And it’s deliberate. See, Bhattacharya cannot acknowledge the truth that vaccines do not cause autism—indeed the idea that they do is based on fraudulent research—without alienating his anti-vax friends with whom he made a devil’s bargain for power.

I was laid off from the Washington Post today, along with hundreds (!!!) of incredible colleagues. If you need a data journalist, chart designer, or wacky-idea-specialist, give me a shout!

this is mangled. i’d been thinking about olympics reporters in my sportscentric anger but this is evil

little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?

If you live in the DC area, you should definitely do this

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

This is good.

There is no reforming ICE or Chuck Schumer, both need to be defunded for the safety of the American people.

Common sense is abolish ice

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

constitutional law knowerers love to go “you know, i don’t agree but the Right and Honorable Gentleman makes an interesting argument” and the argument is, like, “actually the constitution was written on Opposite Day”

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism. As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot. Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

This is a definition that has literally nothing to do with working or class.

This is where the comparisons to 2020 really fail. That time was very tense, yes, but we knew who the enemy were and they wore uniforms. Here? They're fucking everywhere. That's the point.

Victor Manuel Diaz was taken from his community in MN by ICE, brought to a detention camp in Texas, and has now died. Like you and I, Victor Manuel Diaz was human being who deserved dignity and safety. He should be alive today, and would be if it not for this brutal regime. May he rest in peace.

“Parents are making impossible choices: declining surgery for their children, delaying emergency care, and refusing specialty referrals because they have calculated that the risks of deportation or family separation exceed the medical necessity." www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-ge...

"Before I was even in high school, my image had been used for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). I’d been featured on fetish websites and Photoshopped into pornography. Grown men sent me creepy letters" Now online services like X do this automatically to everyone whose photo was ever posted online

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday. The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

Policy can be negotiated, and smart people like Zohran can be convinced to change approaches if their current one isn't working. But you can't convince somebody to love the place they live and want it to be good for the other people who live there.

Unironically I think the reason so many people on social media who will never live in NYC have latched onto this guy is that right now people need someone who seems positive and happy. They don’t want to feel bad any more than they already do. He is the Great British Bake Off of elected officials.

I’m starting to wonder if looking genuinely happy and acting like you really love the city is a more effective way to campaign (and govern) than scowling about what a shithole the city is and how many more cops it will take to subdue it.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
