if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

If every top Democrat doesn’t immediately condemn this threat of war crimes and collective punishment, without any ‘process’ BS complaints, then they should be primaried instantly. They’ll be complicit in this crime if they don’t speak out. Tainted forever.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

NCLR teal background. The Federal Bureau of Prisons Is Running a Conversion Therapy Program. We must not let it stand

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is running a conversion therapy program. We are calling on everyone — not just those who are transgender, not just those who have loved ones in prison — to recognize what it represents and to oppose it.

Now is not the time to ask your trans friends if they are okay. Now is the time to send your trans friends care packages, find them jobs, and ask your doctor about a HRT prescription you don't actually need.

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit.

Red Flag Alert - Anti-Trans Genocide in the USA - #3 | Lemkin Institute

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

In assessing the nyt, I looked at publisher AG Sulzberger’s own words in an interview w David Remnick in ‘23. He defended its trans coverage while acknowledging there are “bad faith actors who are trying to undermine trans people and attack trans rights”

What kind of actor has the nyt been?🧵

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

They attacked the burn treatment center in Tehran before unleashing the fires of hell on the city. They are truly the epitome of all evil in this world x.com/UnboundedVoi...

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.

epstein and the epstein class were so fucking desperate for validation they funded a cranberry bog of academics to explain why they were the master race, but yeah sure. it's women who only care about being admired

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

I don't know what to do but just keep repeating it so I don't go insane: the rise & eventual total domination of RW media is the single most significant political development of my lifetime and the entirely of the US political & media elite resolutely refuse to discuss or even acknowledge it.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

In Minnesota, we are all too familiar with false spring. You think maybe winter’s finally over...until the cold snaps back, sometimes even harder.

That’s what this moment feels like. You may hear that ICE is “leaving", but they’re shifting, spreading out.

Don’t mistake a brief thaw for safety.

Politics With Congress gone, much of DHS is set to run out of' money after midnight Democrats nave refused to fund the department without new restrictions on federal imm gration agents, including requiring them to wear body cameras and tighter rules on warrants. Today at 14:24 MT

Note the framing here:

It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

also i will NEVER forget that when it was Mamdani vs Cuomo, the blue no matter who people didn't say a word about voting for the Democrat no matter what. everyone saw that.

MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter

Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

there's a lot of reason to doubt him!

1. the Nazi tattoo!
2. keeping the Nazi tattoo!
3. lying about the Nazi tattoo!
4. only covering up the Nazi tattoo after backlash!
5. he's written racist and misogynist things on the Internet!
6. HE'S SEEKING MORE POWER & HAS EVERY INCENTIVE TO LIE

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

Amy Klobuchar’s Record on Trump Is Shameful - Racket As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month Age verification for all.

Less than 6 months ago @discord.com had a data breach exposing ID’s of 70,000 + of its users but …apparently hasn’t learned anything?

ID checks don’t make the internet safer, they make us all more vulnerable.

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.
