I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

Musk throwing out Trump’s history of sexual violence is just another example of a man objectifying survivors for his own political gain. The only time any of these men think rape is wrong is when they suspect taking that stance will give them a competitive edge over another man.

oh, this feels very weird to say BUT after 5+ years and 100+ episodes, we're saying goodbye to #KeepingIt101 in this, our penultimate episode, we're using @profirmf.bsky.social's tried & true LDOC lesson plan: review the first assignment and see what's changed www.buzzsprout.com/810974/episo...

“President Drake became irate and yelled at the faculty member, who remained quiet. As the faculty member exited the Administration Building in the procession line, two men in suits with police badge lapel pins followed him and asked him to step out of the line.“

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

Waiting outside a Jewish museum to shoot people coming out of an event hosted by a Jewish organization is antisemitism, this is not hard. Horrifying, but not hard. This is antisemitism, and it's wrong, and it's bad.

May be an OG. Dont care. #COYS

I drew this cartoon by hand. I have many trans friends who need support, especially these says. This original is available. I call it “Of Course You Exist”, because erasing people is the first step to justifying their persecution and annihilation.

I’m shocked to hear that the guy who swam in rock creek park in jeans is lying.

This is what I mean by how Cassie Ventura's testimony is just so real and so many survivors get what she's saying. Your love is weaponized against you. But that's also true after you escape. People mock you for going back, saying it can't be real. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

How does this even need to be said? Of course he does.

every academic job ad:

Craving eggnog with nutmeg. Why?

In Hebrew school as a kid, I can't count how many maps, pendants, images we had of the state of Israel/West Bank/Gaza as one unit, without the Green Line marked at all. If "from the river to the sea" is seen as genocidal because it supposedly erases Israel, what are maps that erase the Green Line?

My bitch about the “happy Mother’s Day to all the women who don’t WANT to be moms” or whatever is that the central crisis of modern motherhood is that we are always shamed for celebrating ourselves in any way - and the one day we get to do it, a bunch of scolds remind us it’s not about us actually

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...

He's preemptively building his case for arresting political opponents.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Isn't it a violation of one state's sovereignty for another state to depict their head of state as the first state's head of state? Asking for a country with a president who maybe thinks he's the next pope.

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

Recessions tend to increase domestic violence because: A. Men’s sudden job loss is a risk factor for seeking control through violence in the home B. Victims’ difficulties accessing new employment can trap them in dangerous relationships if they lack the resources required to leave

IN A CHAPTER TITLED W H A T ????????

Dear god let this man cook.

“Arresting Rev. Barber and others at the Capitol after announcing a task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias in government is an absolute travesty,” Anthea Butler, a professor of religion at the University of Pennsylvania, said in a text message….

In spring 2020, I remember looking around a Zoom meeting and realizing the women were gone. They were busy filling in gaps left by school closures and cancellations of non-emergency medical services. A lot of the male-only conversations happening then brought us to our current misogynistic crisis.

Getting pretty tired of the “future historians will say X about this time.” I promise you, PRESENT historians are saying plenty, and you don’t seem to be listening!

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

As others have noted, if you’re not seeing this “pro-natalism” creepiness through the lens of the white nationalist Fourteen Words, you’re missing the point.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

How many Scaramuccis did he last?

They are governing like a party that never expects to be out of power again.
