They ripped him apart from his pregnant wife in her last trimester. They stole from him the birth of his baby boy Dean, his graduation ceremony, his first Father's Day. They detained him illegally for 104 days. But today, Mahmoud Khalil is FINALLY FREE. 🤍✊🏼

Incredibly amazing post by @jessrem.bsky.social with an important point about American housing—NY/CA build nothing, TX/AZ sprawl, but only a few American cities like Seattle, Atlanta, & DC are actually building lots of new dense housing in their core neighborhoods

The core base of the MAGA right is rentiership, people who feel entitled to leech rents off the commonwealth and demand state power help them do so

the thing is too that much of this land is neither reasonably arable nor proximal to an agglomerative center which would justify development. they’re selling it off for no reason whatsoever. it’s a war against nature simply because they can.

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

Happy Juneteenth! Prop 13 perpetuates racial inequity by giving tax breaks to older, wealther, whiter homeowners. To provide justice for Black Californians, we need to reform Prop 13. www.zocalopublicsquare.org/yes-prop-13-...

Do they still make top 40 hits about partying? Feels like they're all about sex or hating your ex these days, but 10 years ago half of them were about having a rager

The Supreme Court upheld a law criminalizing gender-affirming health care for trans youth. This can lead to incarceration of parents & doctors & parents losing custody. CA won’t allow these laws to be enforced here. We’ll do everything we can to protect trans youth & their families. My statement:

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

CAYIMBY, ACLU, and immigrant rights groups all have the same relationship to the Democrats - pushing the needle on unpopular, but morally correct policy, whether that's zoning reform, trans healthcare, or immigrant rights, to the benefit of society as a whole.

This Day in Labor History: June 19, 1982. Two Chrysler workers, a plant supervisor named Ronald Ebens and his laid-off stepson Michael Nitz, beat a Chinese-American draftsmen named Vincent Chin to death in the parking lot of a strip club in Highland Park, Michigan. Let's talk anti-Asian racism, sigh

Hormone Replacement Therapy has been demonstrated to reduce suicidality in trans youth by over 70%. If insulin were to be made illegal tomorrow, a smaller percentage of Type 2 Diabetics would die than the equivalent proportion of trans youth deprived of Hormone Replacement Therapy.

You see the same media tactics used over and over to sow doubt about trans healthcare, climate change, high speed rail. Once you see it you can't unsee it, and I implore newshound liberals to be more skeptical of these tactics.
