BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. buff.ly/d6rXj5h

damn, dark as shit

Our president is the smallest and most repulsive of men. An embarrassment not just to our country but to our species.

James Marion Sims, known as “the father of modern gynecology," achieved his breakthroughs by experimenting on Black girls and women, without anesthesia or meaningful consent. It’s an origin story the US medical establishment has spent almost 180 years trying to reconcile, whitewash, or ignore.

Important context here: The men were not pardoned. They filed suit to have their convictions thrown out. The DOJ would normally oppose this, as the original prosecutors. But to do that… they’d have to assert the men committed sedition… on behalf of Donald Trump. So instead, they just fold.

I am going on vacay WITHOUT A COMPUTER for the first time in almost 30 years!!

We're throwing innocent people in concentration camps and letting them die, including children. Our government, in our names, with our money.

1/ I am not a scientist, but I am a highly experienced tech worker forced into the gig work market. I liken it to sitting in a virtual Home Depot parking lot, waiting for someone to pick me up. I never know when - or if - I'll work. I am constantly anxious due to the financial precarity.

WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE DEMS???

Predictably, women's concerns will be shut down and ignored by the men who will profit from making harassing and assaulting women even easier. All you have to donis look at Grok to see how this will go. I'm so very tired of men and their dicks. MEN need to police this shit, but they mostly won't.

We filed a notice in federal court that officers at Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” are failing to comply with a court order to give people access to attorneys. Guards cut off phone access for a day without warning and brutally beat and pepper sprayed people who spoke up. This can't continue.

Federal judges held stock, bonds and leased mineral rights to Exxon, Chevron and others while hearing cases against the companies alleging damage to the Louisiana coast. MORE from @garretthazelwood.bsky.social, with @floodlightnews.org @typeinvestigations.org & @veritenews.org

Nearly half of Arizona’s SNAP participants have lost benefits since the state implemented new Trump legislation. “Arizona is just the alarm bell,” one expert said. “This is likely going to happen in every state.”

I am thoroughly sick of living in a country that hates its people and actively seeks to harm us (and the rest of the world) through every single action they take. That 35% (give or take....) of my fellow citizens support this is appalling. I am exhausted by the firehose of hate and stupidity.
