I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Trump broke the union contract here. That's the only reason we need to even think about this shit! Stop worrying about norms. They stopped! He's taking a significant portion of your lunch money by doing illegal shit and we're supposed to say "that's fine, too bad for us"

if you want to do some good today, my friends the Espitas (some of whom y’all helped me raise a ton of money for last year, thank you ❤️) could use whatever attention or dollars you could spare for them. www.gofundme.com/f/your-gener...

Hello my friends. Thank you for being by my side. It reassures me to know that people on earth are thinking of me. I am not perfect, but I hope to always have you by my side whatever the situation. I wish you all the best and happiness. Ahmed.. I love you for your humanity and compassion.

"It's only then you realize while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun."

They gave the physics prize to the dude who said that ChatGPT is the world's butterfly and GPT3 was a caterpillar. The dude who told us in 2018 that radiologists should cease to go to school because the profession was gonna be out in 5 years. But 5 years later he just moved on to the next lie.

So if conversion therapy should be legal is it okay for me to waterboard or eletroshock a child until they renounce Jesus? Or is that only for queer and trans kids? Just wondering. Because that sounds like viewpoint discrimination to me if I can't, Justice Alito.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Provocative! Looking forward to seeing this shit cited in later legislation banning rescue inhalers to "save the climate" Meanwhile a Chevron oil refinery blew up in El Segundo last weekend and spewed toxic smoke into the atmosphere for 12 hours, and Chevon's response was "we're reworking protocol"

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Judge Diane Goodstein crossed the Trump administration last month. Yesterday, her home burned, her husband was injured and it's being investigated for arson. www.postandcourier.com/news/crime/s...

The latest improbable entry in the AI Slop sweepstakes: The Patricia Routledge "I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday" monologue that's sweeping the globe (and that has been deleted outright from the websites of at least two reasonably reputable news venues that had posted it).

Another banger from the author of "Relax, we'll be fine no matter who wins [in 2016]" and "Calm down, Roe vs. Wade isn't going anywhere" (in 2018)

I suspect a party platform of 1) turning back every Trump action and policy, 2) arresting every employee of ICE for involvement in or abetting of crimes against humanity, would do very well.

Equating being not very nice about a computer to racism when they are stealing nonwhite people from their homes and communities is fucked up. Equating it to eugenics when queer and disabled and mad people are being systematically eliminated is fucked up.

They're still going to call you soft on crime even if you vote for their racist moral panic bill #ncpol

This is my periodic reminder that Sephora still supports DEI efforts, offers special sessions on makeup application for trans women, and gives you free shipping Don’t order beauty products from Amazon!
