so much of this was about the refusal/structural incapacity to meaningfully keep the air clean in schools. investments could have made this happen. but the money went towards cops instead.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

I am getting tired of saying this but I keep sporadically hearing from people things like your life has no substantively changed since trump retook power, bitch yes it has I have a conscience and I wake up mad every day fuck You lol.

It's like we need to revise the frog in boiling water metaphor — it's actually multiple frogs packed into the pot and only some of the frogs are at the top of the water, cushioned from the heat of the flames.

Move comes as Israel kills nearly 100 Palestinians across enclave in one day while maintaining crippling aid blockade.

Btw, Kat was warning everybody about rightwing Dem donors calling LGBTQ and non-white Americans "The Groups" — and using that term to start throwing marginalized people under the bus — THREE (3!) months ago! This was before she was running. It is crazy how prescient this is.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

Imagine seeing 10s of thousands of people picketing Tesla for MONTHS and thinking... "we should def court the white supremacist Nazi that those people are protesting."

Just now, Trump has re-issued his disgusting, bigoted, and Islamophobic travel ban. This goes against our core American values while doing nothing to make us safer. We can do better, we must do better. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This will have precisely zero to do with Jewish safety, just as the original travel ban had zero to do with Jewish safety. It will have everything to do with animosity towards Muslims, despite being enacted in the name of and in spite of the protests of Jews who asked for no such thing.

Finally someone with the courage to pont out techworlds dirty little secret of how websites store data in a decentralized space maintained by sucking juice from the Githyanki crown prince Orpheus

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

they like it

police don’t protect people, they protect capital. and white women utilize the police because historically they have been seen as the property of white men.

These sons of bitches are lying about drinking raw milk, lying about not being vaccinated, lying about drinking horse electrolytes. . . all because they think they're gonna kill "undesireable" people. They're gonna kill their fanbase.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

Exclusive: US veterans agency orders scientists not to publish in journals without clearance Move that seeks political control of doctors’ and scientists’ published research fits a pattern of censorship by the Trump administration, veterans advocates say www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"It’s still unclear why a teenager, who as another one of his attorneys noted has "no criminal history anywhere in the world", remains caged. The rich and powerful, on the other hand, are well aware that their freedom can be bought" Reports @marisakabas.bsky.social

The weirdest thing about the school-reopening discourse is how no one wants to specify when, precisely, schools should have reopened. This article treats it as a scandal that schools were still closed in September 2020 but we were heading into a bigger wave than March!

Yeah let’s ally with the Nazi salute guy. Awesome idea, dummies

Unpopular opinion: COVID mitigations didn't go nearly far enough, and many should be reinstated now. I'm also tired of listening to people capitulate backwards in time to the cowards, losers, greedy fucks and evil jackals who complained and conspired then and are complaining and conspiring now.

Cool! @ricksteves.bsky.social, who has a lot of experience telling people where to go, is telling people to go to NoKings.org. See y'all in the streets on 6/14.

This discriminatory policy is beyond shameful. Just like his first Muslim Ban, this latest announcement flies in the face of basic morality and goes directly against our values. This racist policy will not make us safe, it will separate families and endanger lives. We cannot let it stand.

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

The last time he pulled this Muslim ban BS, people rushed into the streets in disgust & lawyers raced to the airports to help. Now, no one’s shocked, everyone is numb… This country is in seriously scary shape

We really need to start caring about lying, as a society

Another travel ban grounded in racism and xenophobia.

The NYers who say they "have no choice" but to vote Cuomo are lying. I hope people outside of NYC know this.

22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht's asthma medicine abruptly jumped from $55 to $700. Unable to get the medicine he needed, he left without it. Cole suffered an asthma attack and died 5 days later. His inhaler was empty & his insurance corp was UnitedHealth. www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-united...

The Department of Justice is now just another part of the Republican voter suppression war machine. I will do everything I can to "thwart" its efforts to under free and fair elections.

and you know, our supply of fresh water and clean energy

Poor peoples’ movement now

Let's address a couple things about masked ICE and DHS officers in tactical gear. 1. They're not "Proud Boys cosplaying as federal agents." Yes, there's crossover between LEO's and right-wing groups. Yes, these guys ARE real federal agents. You don't get onto an SRT without years of experience.

While people online argue day and night about how to be a good coalition member, here is the leading opponent to Cuomo, a Muslim democratic socialist, urging his supporters to also rank the rest of the WFP slate in order to maximize the anti Cuomo bloc's vote.

I'm not a political scientist but if you're advice to the Democratic Party is pushing out unions, immigrants, and queers then I think there's already a party for that

Gov. Walz: “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected.” www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...

“Convicted criminals sprawl on feather beds while an innocent teen is curled up on a cement floor. The idea of justice eludes even the people who are following the letter of the law and want nothing more than to live peacefully in this country”

We are at 2245 S Michigan now where organizers and electeds are holding a press conference after agents detained at least 10 people today. A representative from Organized Communities Against Deportation speaks about ICE taking people who are currently in asylum proceedings and appeals.
