Everything is a distraction from this.

"Putin couldn't do a better job" of attacking America. How do we know this isn't Putin's doing?

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Honestly, a really good article. It's not just Fox News and MAGA that have made it hell for trans people in recent years. It's some of the "liberal" news outlets and centrist publications that made this possible too.

Heat pumps remain the cheapest way to heat in Germany for 2025. Despite overall increases, heat pumps rise only ~5% and still beat gas, oil, pellets, and district heat on annual costs. Fossil systems are a long-term cost trap. @co2online.bsky.social

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

I try not to share substack but I'm making a safety exception today. They are coming for trans people. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism. Project 2025's parent org is pushing it. It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is going to kill babies and toddlers who would’ve otherwise survived and their blood is going to be directly on RFK and his plaguelusting posse’s hands

Hey Brian Kilmeade, Check to see if your hands have blood on them. This is the second mass shooting on a homeless people within 12 hours.

Every single person publicly mourning Charlie Kirk is announcing to every marginalized person who sees it that they sympathize more with a man they've never met, who wanted us dead and dedicated his career and life to it, than they sympathize with any marginalized person they know.

They are saying it out loud. Will you endorse this with your silence? Will you aid it with your compliance? Or will you do something?

Look man, if you’re a transphobe, I just think you’re a horrible person. Full stop. It is what it is! But I don’t wish bad things on you, because there is no worse fate I could wish on you than the life you are currently living as a grotesque, miserable monster with a rotting heart.

They're now literally just going with "the shooter had a trans girlfriend" www.foxnews.com/politics/cha...

This is what you do if you want to start a pogrom. This isn’t just yelling fire in a crowded theatre, it’s lighting matches while you do it.

RFK Jr. and Trump tell us they want to Make America Healthy Again. Great slogan. I agree. Unfortunately, they are doing the exact opposite. Vaccines work. They are safe. They save lives. No more conspiracy theories.  Kennedy must resign.

I'm going to be putting forward "Ukrainian sanctions" for word of the year when nominations open up.

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

CW: Sexual assault Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefianc...

I applaud workers at the CDC for standing up against Sec. Kennedy’s dangerous anti-vaccine crusade. We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration. History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.

Are we no longer talking about the EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? Are we?

Ukraine’s missiles are draining the $9B Putin uses to pay soldiers Each new recruit gets a $4,500 bonus. Strikes that cut 17% of refinery output are putting those payouts in doubt. euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/27/u...

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

BIG DUMB JD VANCE, WHO DEFINITELY FUCKED A COUCH, WANTS US TO BELIEVE THAT WORLD WAR TWO ENDED BECAUSE OF NEGOTIATIONS. HOW FUCKING STUPID IS THAT? FAKE NEWS! THANK YOU JEFF TIEDRICH (ME!) FOR WRITING ABOUT IT — AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO READING MY POST. THE LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3JRdKws

Russian forces continue using Kherson region residents as “training targets” for drone strikes. This time, a Russian drone dropped a grenade on a man walking with his dog. The cruelty of these attacks speaks for itself.

Believe the victims. Don't believe the perpetrator.

Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who has been released, have been informed by ICE that he could now be subject to deportation to Uganda, and he's been told to report to ICE next week, a source confirms to me. A few points about this, because there will be a lot of bullshit about it. 1/

To return to a theme: why would you invest in a state where a judge of the apex Court is saying that Court will ignore any rule of law in order to make sure the administration gets what it wants? How is your investment safe in that environment is any right exists only on whim?

DC is experiencing multiple situations unfolding simultaneously. A federal investigation has been launched into whether the city’s police department manipulated crime data.

In Alaska, genocide became “diplomacy.” War crimes became “peace talks.” Child-killers became “partners.” Putin didn’t just get legitimacy in Alaska. He got proof the West has abandoned truth itself. Our editorial: euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/16/e...

When I was back home I spent an afternoon volunteering at the food bank my mom helps run. It’s in a mid sized Midwestern city. It was pretty eye opening. These are people who are really reliant on the social safety net that the BBB slashed. Here’s a list of observations 1/x

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
