Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Today in Every Day a New Horror, the chances of power outages here in the PNW is about to astronomically increase, because DOGE is ripping wires out of the walls of our power grid for no fucking reason, of course. Time to buy a generator. Cool cool. via @thestranger.com

The “free speech absolutist” owner of X doesn’t like the output of the Community Notes program he has previously championed, so he puts his massive thumb on that scale to ensure it’s labels align with his twisted view of reality.

The founders thought letting the unwashed masses decide things directly would be too chaotic and dangerous. But if the US did have direct democracy, Gerorge W and Trump would never have been president, and we'd almost certainly have universal healthcare, paid family leave and a higher minimum wage.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

I ranked every new kit from MLS jersey week. I can't wait to hear why I'm wrong.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

they don’t just want to keep trans women out of sports, they want to destroy women’s sports while acting like they’re “protecting” women. its why you don’t give an inch and fight for everyone, because it ain’t gonna stop

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Overturning Sullivan has at least two votes on the Supreme Court — Thomas and Alito. Maybe more. I can’t overstate how catastrophic that would be for free expression in America in an environment where political and performative defamation litigation are common.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

At. Gunpoint. Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right. In any other country, we'd call it a coup.

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months. And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...
