"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm pretty sure the third guy is just an anagram of the first guy and will just *be* the first guy in a fake mustache

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

A story in the parts

A story in three parts

Special education staff decimated after Trump administration shutdown firings: Sources The nation’s special education services have been significantly damaged after Fridays’s mass layoffs within the Department of Education, sources told ABC News.

The Department of Education reportedly fired nearly everyone in the office that focuses on the nation’s children with disabilities in a wave of new layoffs

A story indistinguishable from those depicted/dramatized in all the WWII / Holocaust movies and plays and novels we grew up with

Trump’s Flood of Emergency Appeals Is Straining the Judicial System The administration has turned to the Supreme Court at a record pace, and the justices have issued orders that lower courts have struggled to interpret.

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the Supreme Court 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

I know we say cruelty is the point but I think fear is the point. They want everyone too afraid to stand up to them. I hate that I got worried for everyone involved in helping this man, waiting for ICE to come back with a tank or some shit. But this is community at work and I love that they won.

Trump Administration Officially Going After the Abortion Pill If Trump’s re-election didn't motivate you to stockpile abortion pills, here’s your chance.

that we have built an alternate media ecosystem in which every American city is an apocalyptic hellhole - completely unmoored from reality - and the political system has collapsed to the point that the president can use this fabrication to send troops against his own citizens is a staggering failure

Well don't I feel stupid

I see lots of people pointing out that this is a lie and even Ted Cruz knew it was a lie and Trump already threatened ABC again, and yes, yes, yes... THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. They lie.

It’s grotesque to think your religion is gonna punish everyone you consider an enemy while you escape but actually we all have to take responsibility for our actions in this life and on/for our shared planet, hope this helps

I try to remember that while they were fighting the ban on gender affirming care for minors here, one of the (trans) lawyers did a thread reminding folks that they're really good at making this feel like an overwhelming groundswell, but it is one clown car of debunked experts on a road trip.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
