"The protests to date have been so organic and numerous that they've varied widely in type." open.substack.com/pub/lakauffm...

Jake is the best conflict reporter I've worked with and Popular Front covers the endless brushfire wars sweeping the planet in a way no one else does

"No disabled people use this so why do we need to make it more accessible?" Have you ever considered that the very reason they're not using it, is because it's inaccessible? And even if no disabled people do use it, that's not an excuse imo. Accessibility should be standard.

Feeling very ferretous tonight.

voters just want to be taken seriously and treated like adults

Multiple articles have been written about Bluesky being a dangerous echo chamber while the world’s richest and influential men are having their brains cooked in increasingly extremist group chats

This is … insane. The 18th c. political mindset was *rife* with concerns about “tyranny of the minority”—or, as they would have put it, “tyranny.”

Something I learned from interviewing survivors of abuse and institutional betrayal is that by being willing to identify a problem, you are often treated as the problem. The institution will try to get rid of you instead of the problem. To me, this also speaks to the way the left is treated broadly

RFK Jr. Flushes Nation’s Antidepressants theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, has been held in an ICE detention center for over a month but has still not been charged with a crime.

Why, no, you shouldn't have to have your 'papers' on yourself at all times or face extraordinary rendition to a foreign country, actually

I never have any idea what to do with the Worst List and artists like Alex Warren or Myles Smith, whose work I wouldn't really rate lower than a 4 and yet I strongly feel has no right to exist

Hey fellow trans people: No matter what gender identity(ies) you are (or aren't!), whether you're socially transitioning or medically transitioning or both or neither, whether you're pre-op or post-op or non-op, whether you're out or stealth or closeted, you're valid and I see you and I love you. 💙

at this point being a former South Korean president is probable cause

London bus stop near Amazon HQ 🔥

what do you want

Here’s “Basket Case” except it’s about why you shouldn’t use Face ID or a thumbprint to unlock your phone

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

this is as true as thing as can be said. the worth of a person and the right of that person to all the same things everybody else has access to is prior to, separate from, and unrelated to any measures of "productivity."

Are the people telling you to post your activism and civil disobedience going to pay your bail? Pay your rent or mortgage and groceries whilst you're incarcerated awaiting trial? Going to get you your job back if you're fired? No? Then be smart about it. Don't post illegal shit online.

In his latest letter from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil warns that when the Trump administration violates his free speech rights, it puts everyone's free speech rights in jeopardy.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

Nice to have confirmation that at least some of them have body cameras, and I'm not saying that for the reason you probably think. I say it because those cameras have bluetooth and static MAC addresses, so the location can be tracked in real time like an air tag.

Anyway I really think we lawyers need to stop saying "can't do that" and start saying "the law does not permit that" because those are two very very different things

[guy with $100 billion dollars desperately trying to make the number go up to $103 billion for who knows what reason] "Maybe if we starve the poor? At the very least they should live miserable lives, then maybe I can squeeze out another percentage..."

Marco Rubio says that Americans living in Europe shouldn't ever have to face any ramifications for their political speech online. The chutzpah is jaw-dropping, as he is PERSONALLY trying to deport legal immigrants for their political speech in the United States.

NASA Announces Bold Plan To Still Exist By 2045

If the government won't fund my plan to populate Mars with my legion of illegitimate children, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

ok but "does not pay taxes or write poetry" is a much better descriptor of what it means to be a Kennedy

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

R.E.M. Is For Planned Parenthood. What they’re fighting for is pretty simple: the freedom for everyone to control their own bodies, health, & lives. Everyone deserves access to safe, high quality, affordable care. Go to ImForPP.org to get involved m.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9U...

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Ruling out other factors, researchers conclude that the disparity in tickets issued is “because of what they call ‘animus’ against minority drivers on the part of the police.”

Yep

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives. What can I say that’s even remotely encouraging at this point? Six things. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/six-small-morsels-of-hope
