"Women make up half of the global population, yet just a quarter of those who are seen or heard in the news. This statistic has barely changed in the last 15 years, with a mere nine-point change in 30 years." www.unwomen.org/en/news-stor...

It should be self-evident now that @EzraKlein.bsky.social is an unreliable public thinker who serves only as the “white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice” that MLK was so disappointed by. Read this from @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social instead: www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Donald Trump canceled the gold standard survey on hunger in America after slashing billions from food assistance. He doesn't care that his policy choices will increase the number of hungry Americans. He doesn't want you to see the consequences of his policy choices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4OZ...

According to these two High Priestesses in the cult of Donald Trump, only the Dear Leader can call opponents fascist!

I was just notified of ANOTHER death in ICE custody — the 16th since Trump took office. The second death TODAY. This is absolutely unacceptable.

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

It’s Illegal to criticize Donald Trump - ACT ACCORDINGLY!

Watch @melodyglenn.bsky.social on why it's important to prioritize health care over criminalization when it comes to treating addiction. Full interview here: youtu.be/CwxqGo5dB4g?... Get her new book here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/781015...

The free speech comedy bros are silent on Kimmel because they were never concerned about state suppression of speech. They just wanted to use slurs without consequences in the form of people saying, “You shouldn’t say that.” They don’t know how to handle actual threats because they’re weak.

OMG! I appreciate the commentary. Trump whining about the "radical left". Again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTIF... @dollemore.com @idoubtitpodcast.bsky.social

I seriously enjoyed this one. Follow @dollemore.com on most SM platforms. @idoubtitpodcast.bsky.social #IndependentMediaRocks www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjAd...

I’ve been reporting on influencers for more than seven years now and today I had an academic decline to do an interview about them for the first time out of fear of government retaliation.

“If their statutory authority is so ‘unambiguous,’ why exercise it in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend with nothing but a late-night notice to the children’s caretakers and advocates?” Trump-appointed judge rules the govt can't unlawfully deport children in the middle of the night.

Seriously, y'all. Were it not for a lone lawyer literally banging on the airport doors, these kids would've been stolen. Were it not for Judge Sparkle taking immediate action at 3am on a holiday weekend, they'd have gotten away with it. It didn't take a hero to do the right thing. Just a person.

"The shooting provides the perfect pretext for tightening his grip, silencing dissent, and concentrating power – so that his successors may inherit full state control, regardless of charisma, merit or mandate."

Today I'm joined by @melodyglenn.bsky.social to discuss her fantastic new book, addiction medicine, harm reduction, changing your mind, and finding hope in dark times! Get Dr. Glenn's new book here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/781015... Watch the interview here: youtu.be/CwxqGo5dB4g?...

These people are weird, dangerous liars! Other than low-information conspiracy theory MAGA rubes, they're not fooling anyone.

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

This is America. EMPLOYED: @ezraklein.bsky.social (White man) - Wrote ‘Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way’ FIRED: @karenattiah.bsky.social (Black woman) - Shared Charlie Kirk’s racist words about her as a Black woman. youtu.be/2vwP_OOG6_E

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is threatening Americans over the death of racist Christian nationalist bigot Charlie Kirk, who they describe as “martyred for his belief in free expression, his faith, and his unabashed love for our country.” Dystopian stuff!

Every day seems to be a lesson in how hate speech is protected, but mocking hate speech is not! Hate speech = okay Mocking hate speech = fired/expelled/life ruined I thought the answer to offensive speech was more speech? 🫠

Hey Podcast Goebbels don’t quit your day job of constantly being on vacation in places where everybody hates you

@dollemore.com @brittanyepage.bsky.social Both of you share your past beliefs and show us everyday that people can change. It's the HONESTY, for me. Y'all are doing good 🙌🏽✊🏽💞 Anyway, THIS ONE HERE... 🔥🔥🔥

"More than 1 in 4 workers without jobs have been unemployed for at least half a year, new data shows. That number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil." wapo.st/4pngd2f

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade called for homeless people to be killed, sparking widespread condemnation and calls for his firing. The backlash forced a weak apology to save his ass. What good is a short apology when Fox demonizes those in poverty every hour of every day?

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

I wrote about what political violence means. brittanyepage.substack.com/p/what-polit...

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

Why are liberals and leftists still active on the Nazi Twitter? More puzzlingly, why are people who profess to be anti-fascist paying money monthly to Elon Musk for their little blue checks? Doesn't seem very anti-fascist if you ask me.

There you go, @nytimes.com & @ezraklein.bsky.social. I fixed it for you!

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

"The vote was 142-10 with 12 abstentions. The United States was one of the 10 states that voted against. Hours before the vote, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "There will be no Palestinian state." www.cbsnews.com/news/un-gene...

Racist Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at an event on a college campus in Utah. This is a call for compassion and decency, while juxtaposing how Republicans behave in these moments against how liberals and other like-minded people think and act. youtu.be/p8q2nGS2NG4

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

There’s a lot to criticize in this piece unfortunately (Kirk was not doing politics the right way) but this passage stood out to me as idealism fully divorced from reality. In my whole life this has never been true. We’re not working towards the same America. Haven’t been since the Civil War.

Strong piece in which @brittanyepage.bsky.social attempts to apply the term “political violence” consistently and thereby highlight the asymmetric crisis we’ve always been facing.

"Republicans moved Thursday to speed up Senate confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees by changing the chamber’s rules over the objections of Democrats. Senators voted 53-45 to allow themselves to change the rules with a simple majority — a move known as the “nuclear option." Gift link:

Today is a good day to read & share this piece from @katemanne.bsky.social "The real conspiracy theory around Trump & Epstein is that multiple apparently unconnected women lied, & continue to lie, about Trump’s behavior. This with nothing to gain, & much to lose, by speaking out about his misdeeds"

@brittanyepage.bsky.social brings some receipts about community policies to help people in a mental crisis: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o9G... A couple years ago, a mom called 911 for a crisis team for her autistic son, they sent regular cops and the cops shot her white 13yo while he was running away.
