Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I don’t know what her next act will be but please keep in mind you do not ever have to hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene

“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

This is a great resource in precarious times. Tried it for my city and it pulled up all the things I know about + more I didn’t. It finds food pantries, but also stuff like legal help and housing assistance. For those of us more fortunate, great way to find volunteer and donation opportunities.

I couldn't even pick my favorite line from Tressie because it's all of them (gift) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Emma Thompson is a queen.

i love this from Georgia Power bc it implies my absurdly high power bill is because of something i'm doing and not because the republican controlled committee approved six unnecessary price hikes in the last two years 🫠

[Exit King.]

The fight here with Gorsuch and Kav vs Nelson is whether the "use" of race automatically means "discrimination" on the basis of race. That's interesting to me, because it's basically the white folks telling on themselves. They cannot see a "use" of race that isn't synonymous with discrimination.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

The deportation of Mario Guevara is deeply unjust and should sound alarm bells everywhere. An Emmy-winning journalist legally present in the United States was arrested for reporting on a protest. Now he's being deported.

The bees have discovered Brutalism

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.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Hell of a photo by my former Chicago Tribune colleague Stacey Wescott from a protest today at an ICE facility in the Chicago suburbs. Read the sign at the bottom. @staceywescott.bsky.social

The new MAHA report recommends that the United States increase its breastfeeding rates. But the report makes no mention of a federal paid parental leave program that experts in breastfeeding / caregiving say could make a difference. My latest for @19thnews.org: 19thnews.org/2025/09/gove...

internet culture desks aren't just for cute meme trend stories. ever since gamergate, understanding how and why info moves online is critical to seeing how we got *here*

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

Also, I'm just a cis woman asking cis men to shut the fuck up about Why Cis Women Totally Need Me To Attack Trans Women On Their Behalf (Even If They Don't Think So, The Little Dears).

really need folks to understand how close CDC came to a mass casualty event. i saw all the news photos and was still shocked when i saw the dozens of bullet holes across the windows of HQ offices—including some of senior agency leadership. it is truly a miracle more people weren’t hurt

20 years ago this month, Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. For so many New Orleanians, our lives are demarcated by this moment. If someone ask you about an event or memory from the past, we say “was it before or after the storm?” On this twentieth anniversary, I wrote about going back home.

5. This does a real disservice to readers. A recent Gallup poll revealed that 64% of Americans believe that crime INCREASED across the country in 2024. In reality crime "was down in all seven categories of crime across all 10 population groups that the FBI measures."

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

I need @oldenoughtosay.bsky.social to do one of her regional food polls to investigate what people think is inside the crust in a stuffed crust pizza because I have to tell you I did not get what I (American) was expecting from this Scottish hotel room service menu

“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Nestled up against the steps of City Hall in LA is a large placard with missing posters for the recently disappeared in the city.

it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

It is 1990. I am 5 years old. The US is bombing the Middle East. A Republican is president. It is 2003. I am 17 years old. The US is bombing the Middle East. A Republican is president. It is 2025. I am 40 years old. The US is bombing the Middle East. A Republican is president.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

oh fuck this shit so hard

Shout out to Chase Strangio who did his level best and should have fucking won. What a beast of an attorney and an amazing advocate. This is heartbreaking. #Skrmetti

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

i understand the framing, which is about RFK jr lying to a senator to get senate approval but RFK jr also lied to the american public just completely unacceptable for a public official and senator bill cassidy is not the only one who should take action for being lied to

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.
