1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So a DC-based colleague sent me this -- but apparently to get alerts from the White House you have to agree to *promotional and marketing messages notifications and customer service communications* Are other people seeing this? This seems like an obviously illegal use of public data. 1/n

It can't be overstated that this moment of elite backlash is against racial progress and labor progress we looked to POSSIBLY make in 2020. The bosses got scared AF. Across the political spectrum.

i'll probably catch some flak for this, but utility bills have gotten so out of control that i've started turning off the burners on my stovetop before i leave the house. it saves a lot of money! i don't need them to be on when i'm not there! i don't know what else to tell you

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

i teach at a college with a lot of conservative students and what i've realized is that a lot of them just straight up don't know what republicans actually say and stand for and when they find out about the extreme stuff most are appalled

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

This is not a romance. Nobody is "in love" with apps. There are no A.I. boyfriends. You cannot "date" a chatbot. Accepting this framing and treating it as real is tech-industry propaganda. slate.com/technology/2...

Two thirds of Americans are not Trump voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

reading the subreddits for people "in love" with chatbots is one of the most profoundly depressing experiences

we *all* know exactly what they are doing btw: the right wing is now weaponizing therapy language like gaslight & DARVO to project unto others the very shit they know they’re doing

trumps administration is whining and begging everyone to stop comparing ICE to the gestapo meanwhile they act just like the gestapo and use social media to post aesthetic videos making fun of and demonizing immigrants

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists

She basically invented astrophysics. She proved the laws of chemistry, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, not just gravity, applied universally. She determined the composition of the sun and primacy of hydrogen in the universe. She advised the PhDs of Frank Drake and Frank Kameny.

Took my cat to the vet today and asked the people at the front desk what the weirdest pet name they’d ever encountered was One of them said, immediately, “Well, nothing’s going to beat ‘Cocaine’”

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

This is the biggest self own Democrats have ever done. They handed control of the largest social media platform to far right regime allies.

go off, entertainment weekly!

FUCK THIS. Hurt their feelings *more*. Any CEO who tries to destroy the country or undermine policy because they didn't get their ass kissed with a fucking invite to the White House was _always going to betray the country anyway_. Spend this much time trying to appease the poor! Fuck's sake.

what a tremendous season for folks showing their asses and other assorted people showing themselves to be strongly aligned with the people showing their asses

If they were real, wouldn’t the bullets say “fuck ice”’

which means you just petulantly keep starting Reichstag fires while looking back at the audience for approval with moist, increasingly desperate eyes

Don’t get me wrong, it continues to be very scary that the Trump administration keeps desperately trying to create Reichstag fires and Horst Wessel Power Hours, it’s just also very noticeable that they somehow keep failing to stick the landing.

Not bad at all, and I’d be pissed if I was giving Sinclair money to promote my business and my ad ran during a rerun of Celebrity Family Feud instead of the most in-demand program of the night (at the higher rate)

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

love to see black and asian women in solidarity with each other

Chotiner interviews Janeway

sure thing boss, real anti-ice just like you asked

I’m sorry, the message was literally “ANTI-ICE” written in pen?

They've lost the 9yos

heh

Please note that all the outlets now correcting their narrative re: ICE killing Silverio Villegas González since FPPD body cams have been released initially published the DHS statement now proven to be mostly false. There's never any understanding/admission of harm done. They'll just do it again.

the FBI doesn’t even try anymore

I dunno guys do you really think the cops would just lie

writing "self defense" on all my ammo just in case anyone ever asks me any questions that are already answered by the ammo

DOGE was a success because the entire point of it was the greatest data theft scheme in history and they did it

Ok, FBI saying “engraved with anti-ICE messages and someone writes “Anti-ICE” on a shell in sharpie is some keystone cops business.

🧪 Comms 101 for scientists* 👇 (* who easily fall into negation talk because we are trained to refute hypotheses and state negative findings, but that’s not the way to speak against anti-science bad-faith actors in the public arena WHICH WE ARE ALL CALLED TO OCCUPY BECAUSE SILENCE = CONSENT)

she is actually amazing at modeling, every image i've seen of her is stunning

A lot of the commentators who deride Bluesky as a smaller or less active platform than X are totally clueless about how power on the internet works, which is also how they lost it to the alt-right. Internet culture fractured a while back. Niche spaces are actually the way to grow

Some news.

Vigilantes lynching and murdering poc in police custody was a core part of Jim Crow, this form of terror is old in Texas
