A devastating story about the life and death of Lia Smith, a transgender woman and college student targeted by conservatives online because she briefly participated on the school's diving team. Lia was found dead by suicide last fall at the age of 21. (Unlocked article below)

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of Parker Molloy's newsletter The Present Age! She does great media criticism and I just read her last, excellent piece about Jack Smith's House Judiciary Committee deposition www.readtpa.com

Crusaders pushing social media censorship and banning teens online are admitting that “mental health” is a coverup for suppressing dissent and young people’s progressive politics.

Call your reps this January and tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act — NO to the Parents Over Platforms Act —NO “age verification” laws —NO to digital ID systems

Enacting mass surveillance/censorship is a gift to big tech, these laws do NOTHING to challenge big tech’s business model, instead they reward them w the ability to collect even more data on users including children. They will put smaller and less profit driven platforms and forums out of business.

HASAN: “I don’t want my tax dollars going to benefit Exxon & Chevron… ‘America First’ in this circumstance is non-interventionism in Venezuela — this doesn’t trickle down any sort of wealth to the average American.”

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Every reaction from any Democrat that stops short of impeachment is utterly disqualifying.

Zohran's inauguration featuring The Beatles, Talking Heads and Lucy Dacus while Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem sing along to Ice Ice baby at Mar-A-Lago is an interesting contrast

I met Edward James Olmos at Denver International Airport strolling around the concourse at 1:30 in the morning, told him I really admired his work and was a huge Blade Runner fan. He smiled and said out of all his work that BR was the one people asked him the most about. Very nice man.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Welcome to the newest co-sponsors of my Medicare for All bill in the House! Medicare for All is not only good policy — as premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans — it is incredibly popular. Let’s keep building momentum for universal health care and get this passed!

How can anyone look at this and fail to see it's a concentration camp?

My friend just rescued a cat who had been in a hoarder’s house and then in a shelter’s cage for five months. Came home today. I haven’t wanted to hug something more in my entire life than I want to hug Bob.

Sixers vs Knicks box at the half.

Really appreciate the justified anger in this piece by @ryanlcooper.com. The GOP's narrative about trans people "is and always has been a lie. What these people actually have is a seething, obsessive hatred of trans people. They want them either back in the closet or dead."

Worried about a war with Venezuela? This one pot pabellón criollo will make you feel like you're in Caracas.

When not in use, the Rubio is powered down and placed in a corner.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Again, what more do you need to see from the Dem Establishment? This is disgusting. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I want to point out again that the conditions in ICE gulags are so bad that they're breeding grounds for tuberculosis, and that staff there routinely deny prisoners medical care. I wrote this in August, and since then it's only gotten worse, immigration advocates tell me.

One of the things that irritates me about defunding the Post Office is that the Post Office is just a great place to go to. People getting presents, sending off Christmas letters, the hustle and bustle of American Capitalism, people meeting people, babes and hunks, get laid at the Post Office folks

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.

There should be no gay men on the front lines of the American military. We need them instead on the front lines of MAGA podcasts.

I lost my job, there are no toys on the shelves, and the only hospital within 100 miles of my house just closed. But at least I know that now there won't be any non-binary characters on Paw Patrol.

As an immigrant, hearing the stories about conditions in Trump’s immigration detention centers has been horrifying. Today, I introduced my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to end our over-reliance on detention and ensure that immigrants’ civil and human rights are protected.

Authorities Abandon Search For Missing Girl After Finding Huge Bass While Dredging Lake

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
