Alabama plans to execute Anthony Boyd tonite by suffocating him with nitrogen gas, an experimental method that appears to be agonizing by most available witness accounts read Lauren's important reporting on Boyd's case and the death penalty in Alabama boltsmag.org/alabama-nitr...

ended up reading two books about lesbian vampires basically back to back and im kind of baffled by how much i disliked one of them and loved the other

Devastating news about Baek Se-Hee. m.koreaherald.com/article/1059...

Something i find deeply frustrating about some of the *CE reporting is how much of the conversation is that these people "didn't do anything wrong". because theres that unspoken specter of once you commit a crime you no longer deserve rights or to be treated as a human being.

i know i really like a book when i see negative reviews pointing out something and im like "what the fuck are you talking about" and then keep thinking about how wrong they are

Robert Badinter, the lawyer and former Socialist Justice Minister who pulled off the abolition of the death penalty in France in 1981, died last year. Today, his body is being moved to the Pantheon — one of the highest honors France can bestow. www.reuters.com/world/who-is...

He said this in January lol

LRT people who have been to fairbanks be knowing how wild this is

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill has so far refused to systematically investigate more than a dozen cases in which witnesses and defendants allege bullying and intimidation by one detective and his partners.

Everyone who throws a trans person under the bus to “get along with/appease” fascism is quietly dooming every other marginalized or repressed group to the same fate.

I wrote an article about YouTuber Joshua Weissman and his plagiarism, abusive behavior, sexual misconduct, and exploitation of his staff. You can click through or click the link in my bio to read it.

maybe this is just my hang up but i find it really weird that people are so surprised by the thought of getting people stuff at conventions for their friends. it now makes the second time i went to a signing and the author and other people were like "wow you are such a good friend for doing this"

i know this is a controversial opinion (maybe?) but i think people should want to experience stories (books, movies, tv) not just because they are entertaining, but because they make them think.

best thing about new superman is the return of clois. my all timer ship. i will never stop stanning

They're calling it the least scanned QR code of all time

This was one of those quiet policy changes that made a huge difference on a basic humanitarian level. I am devastated by this reversal of course.

@thecastlebuilder.bsky.social attacking me

Not sure if most people realize that there are no release dates at CECOT. All detentions are indefinite

Going to make a short little steam recommendations thread since the summer sale goes till later this week. Just to challenge myself a bit, these are exclusively games from *outside* the general US/EU/JP regions. Most of them are discounted pretty deeply, too!

Most horrifying part of this imo is that this country never *stops* funding these things once they start. We've never closed Guantanamo, we've never shuttered Homeland Security. The potential damage here lasts forever.

this is a massive election for the future of san diego county (3.1M residents!) and has gotten very little national attention. honestly not that much local attention either!

This is a good idea and more people should champion it. You don't stop being a citizen because you're incarcerated. In fact, we should be making every effort to ensure people in prison know that they will always be part of society.

trump's first post about mamdani is going to be levels of racism we haven't seen since the 19th century

full offense but this is truly some of the worst fucking marketing

Mahmoud Khalil has been released.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

in my communist utopia, leafblowers will be illegal

Taps the fucking sign aggressively

LRT i find people afraid of public transit to be the most cowardly losers on the planet. also its really not that difficult to use if you pay attention lol.

This should be the final word on the subway and the wimps who are afraid of it www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...

no!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so off that Supreme Court decision, we offer you a guide on how to advocate for trans rights in your community:

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings. Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

they don’t have the votes *yet*, at least, call your senators.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

administration should just put up a “no niggers” sign and save themselves the trouble of writing out each country

It's not just the raids--- people are dying while in ICE custody, and we need to pay attention to this. A Haitian woman died in ICE custody in Florida in April. At the time ICE said her death was "under investigation". www.ice.gov/news/release...

I will say this about the Sabrina Carpenter album: it is a joke, and you may or may not think that it is successful, but any approach that does not start with "she did this because she believes it's funny" might be missing the point

CBP Confirms It Is Flying Predator Drones Above Los Angeles To Support ICE 🔗 www.404media.co/cbp-confirms...

i think often about the supposed "male lonliness epidemic" and sort of look at all my male friends and go ????????? did i just luck out or are yall people tripping

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

Surrendering to Trump‘s framing on what’s going on in parts of LA County right now is malpractice. There’s been more violence after Dodgers games and when intersections get taken over for sideshows then what has been going on this weekend. And the Senator knows this.

They are going to insist that this is a road safety initiative. It isn't. It's a dragnet on commercial delivery cyclists. Because road safety would require addressing the cause of road deaths: motor vehicles. Someone ask Tisch what percentage of pedestrians died from e-bike collisions.
