Happy Pride to those who celebrate, and a big old FUCK YOU to those who don’t. youtu.be/M7C4FuY-yUQ

Spare us the fake outrage.

“We don’t want anyone being able to buy anything of the shelf that could kill you” says guy who is cool with selling guns at drive through liquor stores.

Another big FU from Harvard… free online courses on the US government, the US constitution, civic engagement, and more. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

This. This exactly. The destruction is the point. It is in the ruins of America that Trump finds his golden ticket(s).

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

What we hear: Alcatraz What Trump sees: Narkina 5

Feed cleanser. Sea turtles chilling out at Poipu beach Kauai.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

Thank you Greyhound!

"the new model where your family never breaks out of the cycle of working at factory jobs that we've stripped all safety and economic sustainability out of in order to maximize profits for oligarchs. oh, and heavens no, this isn't for *my* family. just yours."

STOP calling them deportations. This is KIDNAPPING. The kidnapping of CHILDREN. Without Due Process. By a government. OUR government. And one day, if she keeps defending it, the cross around her neck is going to burst into flames - because what we're doing is unGodly. UnChristian. UnAmerican. Evil.

18/19 yo Euro backpackers were detained in Honolulu. “It was a real jail. Metal doors, locked cells, cold air. And they made us do a full strip search. It was really cold. We had to undress completely, including bra and underwear, and even had to squat and spread… it was humiliating and scary.“

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Abrego Garcia, criminal or saint, was denied his due process rights by the gov’t. In this country, people are entitled to those rights, whether criminals or not, whether citizens or not. joycevance.substack.com/p/does-it-ma...

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Trump is a moron, but don’t underestimate the legion of Wormtongues whispering in his ear.
