I'm glad I'm not the only person mildly obsessed with the Jetty x Melinoë ship

Caving again showed the Republicans what they can get away with. They were worried for a moment they might face consequences because they couldn't spin that narrative, but Dem leadership basically showed they won't fight them on anything enough for that to be an issue www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates. If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years. Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

It boggles my mind news outlets are parroting Trump's obvious lie that this is a crackdown on crime. That's not what this is or has been. It's a one-sided war to consolidate power, and he's slowly escalating the use of force as he feels he can get away with it. Pretending it isn't only helps him

Kat Abughazaleh: ICE lies. That's kind of their thing.

We've launched a new report at Erin In The Morning: The Lavender Ledger, your strategic LGBTQ+ reader, covering the stories that we passed on because someone else covered it better than us. Here is our first one!

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave being in the Three Houses world has me so hyped. It's literally the only thing that's made me even consider a Switch 2, and this is at a time when Nintendo's behavior has had me not wanting to buy anything from them

This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary

This is why it's important for you to remove source identifiers from links!!

Does anyone else feel bad for the stewardess demon who gets eaten by Gwi-Ma?

They were literally developing vaccines for cancer with MRNA technology. It's getting difficult of all the different ways this administration is ruining lives www.technologyreview.com/2025/08/15/1...

losing my mind at this. apoplectic. want to punch a wall, or a human being data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-mother...

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order directing states to criminalize and institutionalize people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental health disabilities.

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air. "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com. Here's the trailer:

It's terrible to have signed an apartment lease and wonder if you made a mistake doing so because you're worried about the state of your country and your safety in it over the next year

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

I mean, we all knew this was coming, but fuck

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Was listening to The Daily podcast when I got reminded, oh yeah, they're the NYT when the coverage of US v Skrmetti came up. Holding up The Cass Review as an accurate, landmark study? Ignoring the history standards of care from WPATH to IC as though the Dutch in the 80s were the only standard?

📢 hello everyone!! let's raise money for the Sameer Project in Gaza... by letting me draw your pets! 🐶🐱🐰🦜 (more info and samples in replies!)

SCOTUS ruling against trans youth is unsurprising. Expected even. It doesn't make them any less of a politically motivated, malicious actor, though. The ruling will cost kids' lives. It defies logic and precedent in the name of allowing persecution of an at risk minority

ICE is holding a US Citizen hostage

Really appreciating the TACO hats

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

This is some truly dystopian shit

If they can do this to a US senator, what will they do to you?

If they succeed, you can safely expect them to try to do the same in cities and states across the country, anywhere they see "dissent."

The administration really did just say in a PRESS CONFERENCE that they plan to overthrow the LA & CA governments. It sounds insane, but it's perfectly in line with everything else they've said up to this point

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

The Trump regime is harming innocent Americans, targeting reporters and peaceful protesters. Video after video keeps surfacing, widely shared on TikTok and Reddit. These aren’t threats, they’re people walking home, holding signs, clearly marked as press. And still, they’re being targeted.

This was not reasonable or proportionate at all. KIPs like rubber or plastic bullets, especially at short range, cause death in 2% of cases, permanent disability in 15% of cases and serious injury in 71% of cases, on average. And they fired despite being in no danger. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/7/12...

CNN: We have breaking news now from the Pentagon. CNN can now report that roughly 500 Marines are being mobilized in response to the protests in Los Angeles.

Apologies for the radical pinko commie talk, but I too think everyone in the world deserves health care.

I cannot stop looking with delight at this sweet bit of merch from @blackeagleslgbt.bsky.social's Reach for My Hand zine. Edelgard serious, Petra unfazed, Dorothea ebullient and poor nervous Bernie. Its such a delight

@secondlina.com Happy Birthday! May crows bring you shinies wherever you are

I really want them to succeed. I've not even played it yet. I wasn't sure if it would be my cup of tea, but I want to live in a world where this level of creativity and daring is rewarded

Dems: "Dude trust us Connolly is totally the right man for the job" Connolly: *dies*

Sure glad they stopped AOC from getting that house oversight committee leadership chair 6 months ago to give it to this guy. Man, look at that dem party strategy in action www.cnn.com/2025/05/21/p...

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis. There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power. Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe: www.npr.org/2025/04/16/n...

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

I remember being delighted by these books, reading them with my niece. I really hope we get to see them animated kck.st/4kKSXsO

Hello friends. Today I want to tell you a story. It sounds small, I know, amidst all this. But small things matter, and I'd appreciate your consideration. This is a story of a cat. Specifically, this cat. On the left is the first photo I ever took of her. On the right is a recent photo. (1/13)

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated
