what gets me most about the trans sports panic is that pro leagues already set their own standards. the government isn't in charge of them. so any trans sports policies are just going to punish kids. it's just singling out children for exclusion from one of the main social activities in childhood.

One, they wanted the content. Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people. Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

middle class people need to pay taxes but when the bulk of our taxes go to violence workers & violence industries, that's a tough sell. for me at least. my household makes way less than $95k & I'm fine paying taxes but it'd be nice to get something except dead or oppressed brown & black kids for it.

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt. Take the damn money and leave me alone.

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters." www.techdirt.com/2026/02/19/d...

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

Maybe the most impressive headline distortionism I've ever seen

Iranian journalist reports in front of the flames of a burning Oil depot.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

It's real.

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

worst day of the year. hour stolen from night time given to the smug idiot breakfast eaters. the rise and shine clowns

the feeling i keep returning to, no matter how pissed off i get

feeling blessed not to know who this person is.

went out to check and they still have playgrounds

Nothing says “we are liberating you from a bad regime to give you a better life” like bombing desalination plants and oil refineries

They're going to poison a city with 17 million people

The gaslighting is profound. Both the Israeli government and the Trump regime continue to call on the Iranian people to rise up and change their government. Meanwhile, we are slaughtering them in the streets with indiscriminate bombing.

nobody involved in this shit should ever be forgiven

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran - chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact - the rain is corrosive + could damage structures - heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Man @jkbjournalist.bsky.social has to be one of the biggest thorns in Trump's side. This is crazy shit. She's absolutely a big reason why Prince Andrew is in cuffs, too.

I am not a beggar. I am a human being who had everything stolen — my home, my safety, and my children’s peace. When I ask for help, I am claiming my right to live with dignity, not to be buried alive under poverty, cold, and silence. - Sama’a 🤍 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/157569

Time only does this when it's very distressed

failing to reckon with the effects of the wars in iraq and afghanistan brought us here... which is why i really need you to vote for this guy who volunteered in those wars and then went back as a mercenary for blackwater

If everyone involved in this war, from the politicians to the generals, do not go to jail for this then we are doomed as a country. Failing to punish the crime of the Iraq war is why we are where we are now. Never again. Michael Mirdraghi's murderers must face justice.

To reiterate

fuck a blackwater merc

the democrats could get 5 dollars from me if they would text me stuff like "hey alexis, im smonking weem rn"

wow this guy sounds like a real piece of shit!

Collective punishment. Just directly trying to eradicate the civilian residents of Tehran. Ghastly. See this is why we should have sent George bush to the fucking Hague

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all

they lie every single time it’s always murder, they’re always smearing the victim in order to cover for themselves DHS statements should be treated, presumptively, as the exact opposite of the truth not exaggerations, not inaccurate - brazen, total lies

People should ask why their Mayor, Governor, President, etc why open white supremacy is not a disqualifying factor for giving someone public money.

i like it here because i don't think there's much chance of me ever being in a room with most of you, let alone have an organic conversation where i get to hear so many of your thoughts and opinions. i am enriched by your thoughts, and the exercise of thinking about life from your perspective.

bad parents and bad community members and that should matter. it can't just be endless sympathy no matter who you hurt. we need to develop a culture where it matters if your thoughtlessness hurts people.

Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her

bezos bought a prestigious national investigative newspaper so he could gut it and run "consider setting a monthly budget" and "pay off your credit cards" tier financial advice columns like those blogs with adsense spots on all 4 corners of the screen

MASSIVELY resent struggling to find the meaning in some turgid, repetitive text only to realize it's "A.i." bullshit that no one wrote and that contains no meaning. Fuck billionaire-owned "A.i." companies forever for WASTING MY TIME, which means STEALING FROM MY ACTUAL LIFE.

They should invent a way out that isn't through

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

who told these people they could come on here and assign essay questions to people like this? go talk to your computer boyfriend and leave the rest of us alone

It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

war crime after war crime. we are an evil empire and no country has any logical reason to trust or help us.

trying to be a real artist and do thumbnails and studies but i have unmedicated adhd
