SCOTUS will bend over backwards to claim this isn't about transgender status and doesn't invoke heightened scrutiny when Trump just outright says it.

This is a must read by the brilliant @silkys13.bsky.social truthout.org/articles/tru...

When I made this and posted it on Twitter back in the day, everybody thought it was real. I’m still cracking up over this.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Miranda rights? but officer, I'm a Samantha

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

I really think there are some people who don't take seriously that the conditions in the United States are genocidal in expanding ways at an accelerating pace

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

This is how the English used to criticize the king. Twas not the crown but his evil counsellors at fault.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

The New York Times decided to put on a hotdog suit again this morning.

Summer will be here sooner than you think. Applications for Summer Youth Employment Program are now open at nyc.gov/SYEP. Don’t get caught sleeping.

This chart by @nathanielbullard.com is one reason data centers are driving up our electricity prices. Tech companies usually build data centers close to cities, where accommodating their GW-scale power demand entails costly reinforcement of wires or transformers. Utilities pass those costs on to us.

this is so beast mode, big respect to people in minneapolis. they’re built different out there

Using a Miss Rachel and Mamdani meme to defend Hakeem Jeffries is a choice.

this means that organized labor is calling for a regional general strike yes, and there’s every reason to believe they can actually pull it off in Minneapolis inthesetimes.com/article/minn...

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap! Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

this completely horrifying. ICE is a domestic occupying threat against us all

Federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota are resigning after the DOJ is pushing the office to investigate the widow of Renee Good. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

This bill would allow employers to cut their employee’s base pay from the $7.25/hr minimum wage to the $2.13 minimum tipped wage if they earn any tipped income. So send your dishwasher out to wait one table and you can slash their pay. Which raises an obvious question…

ohhh this is superb-

if "abolish ICE" is already at 50-42 disapprove-approve, "abolish ICE" offends a Democratic primary electorate basically nowhere in the entire country

there comes a peak point at the eagle where the simulation brain takes over and it feels like you’re stuck in a video game level where you’re running in circles hitting info buttons and doorknobs but can’t find the escape route out

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

I miss writing for Teen Vogue, there is SO MUCH good we could do there right now. Alas

We visited Renee Good's memorial. There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone. Flowers & stuffed animals galore. Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water. Grief. And belief. Scenes from Minneapolis:

the video from the murderer’s pov was leaked to conservative media thinking it was exculpatory. it is not, and in fact is very, very hard to watch here’s how to disable autoplay on videos, if you need it

Not my lane but isn't another recourse to excommunicate the pig?

this guy is a fucking hero

That's highly illegal. The government cannot go to someone's house without a warrant or probable cause.

They’re trying to cover up a murder that is playing on a loop on every phone.

The resident dean who was fired was given only ten days to vacate his housing. @harvard.edu is putting a Black family — with a newborn baby — out on the street because of comments opposing white supremacy. Please donate to their gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

they want everyone to believe that resisting a white supremacist race war means the state should kill you and it’s deserved, and it’s concerning every republican on every level believes this now. in 2017 this was being said, but it was still a marginal opinion

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship. That means they are banned from voting. That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials. A. New. Must. Read.

trenton makes (bill merch), the world* takes *me say no to ihra!!! climate superfund now!!! fuck ice forever!!!

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock? Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

you heard it here, folks! ICE is trained to kill you

you’re going to laugh at me, but i cannot overstate the importance of an account like pop crave being good about honestly reporting on current events

Use the impeachment of Noem as groundwork for abolishing ICE AND DHS. Do public education. Use media, etc...

FINALLY

So. Back in spring 2018 (!!!) I wrote a policy paper as an intern for Sen. Durbin calling to dismantle DHS. Obviously it went nowhere. But I have been a local crank about this specific policy proposal online for over seven years and this! Feels! So! Good!

oh bronwyn center snowflake next season iktr MOTHER !
