It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

Robert E. Lee killed more U.S. troops in battle than Adolph Hitler and Osama bin Laden combined

"Just Say No, NIH": new post from us. If and when NIH employees are ordered to terminate grants, besides complying or resigning they have a third option: they can just say no. There is great personal risk. But as lower court judges and KBJ said, the terminations are illegal. 1/

Sandwich guy escapes indictment due to jury nullification!

We're out here flushing 160000 lbs of trash. This ai trash to defend AI trash is so bad.

Disabled people aren’t the enemy. Trans people aren’t the enemy. Immigrants aren’t the enemy. Stop allowing the fascists to dictate who you’re willing to sacrifice. Refuse to see anyone as expendable. We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.

He said he was going to do this months ago. It's illegal, disgusting, and will be used to target political opponents. Democracy is dying.

Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.

probably a good time to bring this back

Black Bloc is a tactic, not an organization. Also not a fashion statement. Thank you @margaret.bsky.social for this episode!

it does feel like a rubicon being passed today but does anyone remember the arson at the house of the most prominent jewish elected leader in america like two months ago

Anyone who wants you to *publicly commit to doing actual crimes*, on social media, is not a serious person. They're either a dilettante or a Fed. Historically, when extraordinary actions turned out to be necessary, those who did them didn't boast about it before they did it. They kept quiet.

🚨 After months of defiance of court orders (and the Supreme Court) and claims under oath from cabinet level officials that they would never bring him back, the Trump admin blinks; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being brought back to the U.S., where he can finally get some due process.

A new study by van Westen et al. shows that the #tippingpoint of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC is also found in a high-resolution ocean model which resolves ocean eddies. No surprise to AMOC experts, but it's so computationally expensive to show that this hasn't been done before. 🌊🧵

Abolish ICE. Cowards need to show their faces and stand by their criminal actions.

I'm horrified to hear what sort of arguments the court will make space for here. Let's just throw out the whole constitution then.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Lawyer who prosecuted Trump hauled in front of House judiciary committee Exclusive: Jay Bratt, who led Mar-a-Lago case, first special prosecutor known to be summoned after Trump vows revenge www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"We cannot allow the fight against antisemitism to be twisted into a wedge issue, used to justify policies that target immigrants and other minorities, suppress free speech, or erode democratic norms," the letter read. religionnews.com/2025/04/28/5...

“So far this year, measles cases are up 180% over full-year 2024 … With vaccination rates dropping for MMR shots as well as for other childhood vaccines, outbreaks of preventable infectious diseases are increasing.” for the love of god yall get your vaccines — and that means your kids too

ruled over by a mad king, isolationist autocracy ascendant, minority groups demonized and driven out by religious zealots, a tainted food and water supply, measles making a comeback… medieval ass country

At this point "Abolish ICE and prosecute every officer who helped with deportations" is the moderate path

It's sickening to see that the Manafort/Russian operative plan is "back on the table as official U.S. policy." The free world is betrayed IN OUR NAME!

Anyone out there keeping track of the number of constitutional violations committed by 45/47? Off the top of my head there are two (article 1 and article 5) but I'm guessing there are more. Is it a three strikes and you're out scenario? One was enough for me.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

We all knew this was coming and it's completely unacceptable. It's past time for a General Strike. Fill out your strike card! Remind the administration who actually holds power in this country. Generalstrikeus.com

alright i have my laptop, guess i'm livetweeting the dire wolf preprint. so a quick reminder: this is not yet peer-reviewed, so there's some different expectations re: quality. also let's be clear, i'm a hella biased reader, bc i don't trust the hype they're courting

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. Tell your Senator to reject this harmful legislation.

"As Trump expands his xenophobic assault to include not just undocumented people but also visa holders and legal US residents... his predecessor Joe Biden helped set the stage for the current sociopathic spectacle." — #AJOpinion by Belén Fernández ⤵️

has this not been on tv news at least once like what the actual fuck

"Those innocent women and children were all blown to pieces." Jamal al-Mdhoun from Khan Younis tells Al Jazeera how he survived Israeli bombing of a residential home that killed at least 9 Palestinians. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ytjf1h

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media. 2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media. 3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media. 4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

Update to our initial story: 37 people were detained this morning at Mt. Baker Roofing in Bellingham, Washington. One employee said federal agents had a "list and pictures of everyone who was undocumented and took them away." Story available outside the paywall here:

Is it really too much to ask media outlets reporting on invading Greenland & Canada to lead with "THIS IS WILDLY ILLEGALLY UNDER BOTH OUR NATO AND UN TREATY COMMITMENTS, WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF US LAW"? The normalization of this is wildly inappropriate & there is no excuse for it.

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.

If judges restrict the government's power to seize people off the street and hand them over to a Central American dictator without verifying their identities, I'm going to become an even bigger Libertarian.

The bodies of more than a dozen aid workers have been recovered in southern Gaza from what a United Nations agency described as a "mass grave," a week after they went missing following attacks by Israeli forces.

America is still not fully understanding that the democracy that existed until January 20th as imperfect as it was is dead and the fascist takeover is not just accelerating it’s solidifying and starting to warp society in opaque and increasingly dark techno fascism is a hall of mirrors.

Doomerism is libs' and lefties' way of obeying in advance.

Time for a US General Strike.
