That is just plainly not true. Your budget slashed help for people who buy Affordable Care Act plans. That's 22 million Americans whose premiums are going up - RIGHT NOW - by double digits directly because of a policy you passed.

finally people are speaking out as -don’t-want-to-watch-videos-Americans

trump’s taking your whole fucking kitchen

It's pretty tough watching your family head into boot licking mode.

It’s really hard to find a therapist who can counsel people with actual real threat scenarios, like this one. For example, I don’t think I have “haters”. I have actual coordinated attacks on my safety and wellbeing, sir or ma’am. Same with political conflicts like these.

It requires previously unseeen levels of suspension of disbelief but this anime is basically ‘What If A Boy Gamer Didn’t Gatekeep The Culture & Was Fundamentally Decent Instead Of Scaring The Hoes’.

Good reporting:

I can't bring myself to relisten to this cos I think I am too cringe but fwiw I *think* it's in this podcast I say something very similar to what Coates is saying here. As I've gone on I've more and more come to think that it's actually functional and important that I be astrategic in a certain way.

The entire piece is worth a read. "The evidence suggests that compromising on basic humanity doesn’t broaden coalitions; it hollows them out. The work now is to find ways to expand our reach without abandoning our foundation—to bridge gaps, yes, but never at the expense of our neighbor’s humanity."

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.” ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

Absolutely. That’s how the media covers everything right now. The aggressors are people The victims are sad collateral. The current administration and most of research is guided by people who share that model

LOUD REMINDER that @karnythia.bsky.social and I will be chatting it up in NAPERVILLE. If you can't make this stop, stay tuned for a virtual event coming soon! ❤️✨ Tickets for tomorrow: andersonsbookshop.com/event/2025-0...

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

just a *central casting* MAGA chud, even used a giant flag-bedecked pickup truck as part of the attack www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Sorry I meant to post the fundraiser below it but did it in the wrong order

I hope many users see this. That your help matters. That in spite of insurmountable obstacles, Mai was able to make great strides in saving her & her children’s lives. Her ingenuity, faith & strength did this to be sure. But your help mattered. We could be seeing many more successes such as this.

He is a healthcare professional. Can we help him?

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

He specifically canceled his tour in the US so that the regime could not use his concert locations to terrorize Latino people. That man is aware of the harms being done to his people

This is shameful. Our elected leaders have no backbones. Idk how a bunch of invertebrates manage to stand upright but here we are.

Fantastic article! Thrilled our guide is helping further the conversation.

🎉 Update from me: I've just sent my editor the first draft of my second book, "How to Build a Universe"! ⚛️ ➡️ 🌌 It's probably still about a year from publication, but even just getting this draft together has been a journey. Really looking forward to sharing more with you! #HowToBuildAUniverse 🧪🔭🎢

The Trump administration's homelessness plan is that they are going to produce more of it.

national immiseration

florida successfully votes for a reform that re-enfranchises voting rights for former felons, the government goes "nope, fuck that", and on top of that puts in effectively a poll tax that is blatantly unconstitutional. the checks and balances here would be feds stepping in - and they did nothing!

Starting to look like a "declare your loyalty to Donald Trump or resign" meeting www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This is absolutely heartbreaking. This man should not have been murdered. His children should still have a father. His wife should not have to tell people her trauma. This government is committing war crimes.

I wish I believed Democrats would do anything but cave

one of the books @lollardfish.bsky.social and me will write someday is how nostalgia is one of the most destructive intellectual forces in history

One of the hardest things for me to deal with mentally right now is folks shock and lack of context of how this is what the racial protests were about . The militarization and erasure of context... this is what folks took to the streets for

Yeah, everyone hates the AI subway ads as much as you do nygroove.nyc/ai-subway-ads/

In between panic attacks I finally taught myself fisherman's rib! I feel like a total idiot for finding it tougher than brioche but at least I understand it now.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

I keep thinking about the wealthy white women who told me I was delusional when I talked about how to face the censorship that was coming our way, & how censorship of marginalized people also leads to additional violence against those people.

I’m also glad Coates pushed back on this claim that Ezra keeps making that only ppl like Charlie Kirk went to unfriendly places to “debate”. Whole conversation you could feel the privilege dripping off of Ezra. What a goddamn clown

What the actual flying fork Rep. Jeffries.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Death and destruction dogs thee at thy heels; Thy mother’s name is ominous to children.

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

it's an extension of the idea that while we the observers are "empathetic" for feeling, and "care" we see the victim as a method for us to express our humanity Just like the abusers Who we see as humans gone wrong and our equals

This is Bryan Stevenson— attorney, NYU law prof, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, author of "Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption". He has 2 degrees from Harvard and has argued cases at SCOTUS. He say some judges instantly hate him and often mistake him for client he is defending.

i am reminded of when matt stoller lost his mind over this column, and saw it as evidence of my “pro-corporate” bias. he literally could not grasp the idea that the smallness of a business does not necessarily alter its relationship to production or to the workers it employs

This is, IMHO, why the real ancestor of survival fiction is The Most Dangerous Game. The story is about a bored aristocrat who hunts humans

Says CSIS, "the sudden decline in right-wing terrorism is both more striking and harder to explain" but actually it's not; right-wing kidnappings and attacks on civilian transports have increased dramatically but aren't categorized as "terrorism" because they now occur under the aegis of the state.
