The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

Exactly one year ago today:

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Israel has bombed to death more LGBTQ+ people in the past two years through their genocide in Palestine than any other country in the world.

The whole "chickens for KFC" thing masks the fact that the mass slaughter of entire civilizations includes thousands of LGBTQ+ people

Because they're pedophiles

Jeff Bezos with a true tax rate of under 1% is fucking criminal.

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.

THIS is Jonah Levi. The headline photo is of Messiah Nantwi, the victim.

Companies need to understand that unions are the compromise.

Because right now they are creating the conditions for more people to lash out like this:

You couldn't torture this out of me.

A drug dealer ​dubbed the "Ketamine Queen" was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 years in prison in connection with "Friends" star Matthew Perry's 2023 death, including her role in supplying the dose of the powerful anesthetic that killed the actor. Jasveen Sangha, who admitted to running a "stash house" for illegal narcotics out of her home in the North Hollywood district of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty in September to five felony drug counts stemming from Perry's death at ​age 54.

Not a single member of the Sackler family have been charged with a crime let alone gone to jail

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Hadley Freeman - The progressive left hate the jews

Kanye isn't a threat to British Jews

I just don't think you can usefully believe both of these things.

Which isn't to say she doesn't, just that the story is far more about her politics than either individual story.

everyone saying "why don't the leftists do something radical?" needs to engage with the very obvious answer, which is "everything you're thinking of would get a leftist shot immediately"

Seems to be an endless amount of resources for liberals to debate the anti-Semitism of not wanting all Jewish people to be associated with a genocidal racist apartheid state.

Meanwhile every right wing pundit now is like "The vermin control the banks and media! We must cleanse and purge them!"

She voted against a ban on conversion therapy. Even Pierre Poilievre voted to ban it.

This is a big misunderstanding. During this ceasefire I’m still allowed to kill you and your allies. You allow us gasoline so our country can continue operating. I am good at diplomacy and widely viewed as the serious one.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs: “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Christianity,” “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,” “extremism on migration,” extremism on “race,” extremism on “gender,” “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,” Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.”

Essentially, every single Bluesky user.

“Lebanon’s Christians are being told by the Israeli military to get rid of any displaced Shias hiding in their homes or villages. Haven’t we seen this story before, and don’t we all know how it ends?”

there were 1,600 murders in New York City in 1975
there were 303 murders in New York City in 2025

New York City's population increased by about 30% over that time period

This is really all they have left. "We have a pointless and criminal war pushing gas prices through the roof and the global economy to the brink but at least the government isn't treating trans people like they're human beings" will be the entirety of the midterm message.

PinkNews platforming Streeting after firing their few remaining journalists so he can lie about his assault on trans rights and gaslight the public about Labour’s war on trans kids and dismantling their healthcare is the end of the site. I’ve been interviewed by them, they’ve used my work. No more.

Amazing stuff. Suddenly the NDP has an 'antisemitism problem' after electing an anti-zionist Jewish leader that calls for a wealth tax and a proper investment back into the public. It's the same bullshit Jeremy Corbyn was hit with.

Immediately after electing the second Jewish leader of the party in its history
(but he's anti-zionist)

According to the Atlantic, the right never has agency, everything they do is a reaction to the left. Therefore, everything the right does is the fault of the left.

Harry Potter is the most racist pro-slavery mass consumed piece of media since the Bible

Absolutely incredible watching them run the same playbook on children with ADHD and autism that they did on trans youth.

Nyt humanizing a Nazi sissy while their coverage of actual trans people is anti science terrorism is so on brand tbh.

“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban trans healthcare. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. The plain text of the Constitution just happens to align with the GOP political platform. Do not dare suggest we’re doing politics.”
