Was just thinking of writing something about why panic over transgender athletes serves as the perfect on-ramp to racism, namely because a discussion about "inherent advantages" fuses dominant beliefs about biology, essentialism, and merit

Riley Gaines: Why won't Simone Biles support the horrifying three-armed children trying to steal her ladder

I will never apologize for a post

An underrated part of all this is that Stephen Miller grew up in Santa Monica. In a real sense, getting to do this violence in this way has been his north star guiding his entire life. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Don’t get distracted by refuting the disinformation machine. Don’t waste your time whining about how bad a job the establishment press is doing. Just keep your head down and be part of the information machine. Learn what’s happening, then share that story to anyone who will listen. That’s the work.

The House snuck a provision into President Trump's signature bill that could give the administration free rein to ignore certain court orders. The Senate must reject this dangerous measure that puts all of our rights in jeopardy.

We have been in uncharted waters for months now and a lot of pundits are still punditing like we’re in the Before Times.

We have met the enemy, and he's a pile of bullshit perpetually half in the bag. More serious questions threaded in comment 1/

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

It looks like Liberace set off a suicide vest in there.

Don gets bulk discounts on thumb-headed goons.

my latest addition to my CCD DSLR collection. #Nikon D100 since it was made in the early days of Digital SLRs, controls are so awkward. Still she's a charming and slow granny.

Love the color and the wheels on the new Mustang FX, but younger folks don't realize just how 1970s BROWN the 80s could still be. 😄 My 1980s car memories were of Oldsmobiles with hood ornaments... 🔗 www.carsandracingstuff.com/library/t/ta... #️⃣ #AutomotiveHistory #80s

SOMEONE GET ME EYES ON THAT FUCKING HOME DEPOT RIGHT FUCKING NOW WE'VE GOT AT LEAST 30 MIMS OUT HERE ARMED WITH EGGS

RT if you love boobs or if you think ICE should be abolished

ICE attacked the wrong person—SEIU California President David Huerta—while he peacefully observed. Now 750,000 furious SEIU members are rising in outrage. “Wrong side. Wrong state. Wrong union.” This isn’t just overreach—it’s a full-blown assault on labor and civil rights.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

"I have friends everywhere"

We don’t have a horse in this race, but our island believes that sovereignty is reinforced by journalism, not at (10 to 1?) odds with it. “The penguin is mightier than the sword” is a phrase we have here to remind us of limits to sovereignty without individuals.

A state's Guard has not been federalized like this over the governor's objection since 1965.

Hard to over emphasize how this can snowball in just a couple of bad hours

Real talk.

for someone in a legitimacy battle for command of their national guard you don't sound like it

This is a shameful moment within an already shameful moment of American history.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish 1/

SUP, FUCKERS‽

Sony made inserting discs a whole vibe

I hope every OEF vet sees this and spends a lot of time thinking about it.
