A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" â instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
This is a must read. Yes it's the Daily Mail, but that's exactly who Trumpers would leak to. And leaks aimed at damaging Miller are to be savored. (The stuff about Miller countermanding Trump's direct orders could be fatal if Trump is allowed to hear of it.)
For background on whatâs happening to LGBTQ kids right now in foster care, especially trans youth, read this. An update is overdue, and coming soon.
Just reupping this post for the people that think giving money to the bigot lady is a matter or nuance, she is actively trying to undermine the law in my country. The main anti-trans organisation here admits they have 20-30 members, nobody apart from a handful of bigots wants this

It took me a while to understand this
BREAKING: Democrats just flipped the Florida House district that includes Mar-a-Lago. Yes, Donald Trump is going to be represented by a Democrat.
Our complete recap -->
Totally. Youâd at least have expected the dynamic to change for dems after they all cowered in terror on Jan 6. Nope. Itâs all just a chess game.
If what Booker says is true, itâs way past time for these âgoodâ senators to step up. Otherwise it appears like theyâre all just in it for the AIPAC payouts and the insider trading and the lifetime of free premium health insurance.
Solidarity with Emily Tucker and her open letter to students. Tucker writes, "But the great thing is, you donât have to go along with this, and I urge you not to. You can refuse to use the chatbot. You can tell your professors that you donât want them to use it or to require you to use it."
57F here and a parade of ants came through my kitchen window, only to be met with my cinnamon blockade. Not today, ants.
Trump: âThey executed three young people for protestingâ
About 200,000 immigrant truckers will begin to lose their commercial driverâs licenses under a Trump administration rule that takes effect today, straining the industry responsible for moving goods across the U.S. as energy costs surge amid the war in Iran. https://wapo.st/40ALq6V
DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.
Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters â with the landlord's blessing.
Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
đThe federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.
A walking Edible Arrangement!
Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and sheâs rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
Jeff Bezosâs wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Postâs losses with what heâs made since Monday.
Epsteinâs economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
CHICAGOANS!!!!
Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And âAbolish Iceâ is one of the options.

There is no version of medical ethics under which this is anything other than lunacy

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.
