As a result of today's decision, the Trevor Project board of directors is matching every dollar donated with $3 until June 22. So a $25 contribution becomes $100! GO DONATE. Help save the lives of trans kids. www.thetrevorproject.org

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Ariel view of thousands of protesters marching against Donald Trump in Downtown Los Angeles #NoKingsProtest

Look at downtown LA right now

No Kings, West Hollywood. The park is almost completely full with more folks still pouring in.

Anyone who thinks LA is full of socialists has never taken a meeting at a studio

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters marching peacefully in LA to protest ongoing ICE raid operations and Trump’s federalization of the National Guard Reporter: “What we’re looking at right now is a quiet, organized group and demonstrators marching peacefully to their destination.”

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

LAPD firing impact munitions at Los Angelenos while DHS arrests their neighbors.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

“That child deserves our support,” @governorwalz.mn.gov continued. “Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

It's impossible to make sense of American zoning, historically or today, without understanding that it has almost nothing to do with separating residential and classic nuisance. It's a mechanism of segregation, that's it.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

Transphobes are angry today because Hollywood is considering hiring the person who looks most like Zelda of anyone who has ever lived to play Zelda in the upcoming live-action Zelda movie

As others have said, I'm not voting for any politician who moves to the right on trans issues.

Showing up to Nick Clegg’s house to steal his car, explaining that my car dealership will fail if I can’t take it

Riiight. Because millionaires famously stop doing anything and everything to accumulate more wealth the second they become billionaires.

three million years ago somebody picked up a rock because it looked like a little face and held onto it This is older than any god this is who we truly are

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

This is an era where it’s really important to know your rights and to make sure others around you know their rights, NO, ICE cannot enter your home without a *judicial* warrant. Not an administrative one like what they were trying to use with the WI judge to arrest someone. A judge-signed warrant.

SINNERS holy fucking shit

I know I’m not a genius Democratic operative who is paid $400k a year to oversee 6 straight swing district losses to used car salesmen but maybe mentioning how the GOP moved heaven and earth to grant asylum to sex trafficker Andrew Tate would undermine their messaging on immigration a bit

Gamer's Nexus, which has long been a well-respected computer/tech review site, has turned into one of the most relentless and impactful investigative journalism teams in the industry. Re: the impact of tariffs on personal computing -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W_m...

Crossing into the United States has become increasingly dangerous for digital privacy. Here are a few steps you can take to minimize the risk of Customs and Border Protection accessing your data.

hey everyone, wanna watch my tv show “the middleman” on streaming with no added charges?

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

even if she never pays a nickel’s worth of taxes in her life, my neurodivergent nine year old daughter is worth more than a thousand of this ignorant, gullible sack of entitled, arrogant white male manure. how long until this parasite pulls up his jackboots and starts talking about useless eaters?

We're doing something new over on the YouTube channel (in addition to our usual news commentary): free videos on how to organize for, live through, and just flat out handle the current moment. First one just dropped. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfqh...

Like most of the appointments from this administration, RFK Jr. is a dangerously ignorant person who should never have been put in charge of directing any policy, let alone public health.
