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

In 100% seriousness: Has Bill Gates spoken out about this as vigorously as he could and should?

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Ok, another reason to keep the oldest possible television set…

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk has been denied bond by an immigration judge, who determined that she was a flight risk and a danger to her community based on a one-paragraph State Dept memo, per her lawyers. She asks the federal district court to move her to Vermont ASAP. www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

Central to my research has been that the pervasive ableism behind vaccination refusal and hesitance has roots as far back as the eighteenth century. The deep fear of disability (especially cognitive or intellectual) as a fate somehow worse than contagious disease is absolutely not new.

Jeff Bezos has enough money to send Katy Perry and Gayle King on a joyride to space for 11 minutes. He can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Make E. coli great again? "An E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce ripped across 15 states in November... One person died... [The FDA] closed the investigation without publicly detailing what had happened — or which companies were responsible." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"Photos like this are only possible when you’ve become so divorced from the humanity of others that they become nothing more than props in your political ploy."

Call it what it is: a race/ gender purge.

This is important to remember, too. The cards are stacked against us so often. Just, like, existing in a world that is NOT neurodivergent friendly is in itself a feat. You're valid. Period. The end. The problem is the eugenics, not you.

RFK Jr: Autistic kids are a tragedy. They'll never pay taxes, never hold down a job, never contribute anything to society Autistic kids:

When Trayvon wore a Howie and people in the media acted like it was legitimate to treat it like gang apparel, the stage was set for this. Tattoos now equal gang affiliation, if worn by the "wrong person." Because the media/*good intentioned people thought it reasonable.

“It became this clash of Black protestors, 17, 18 years old, early 20s, and fans calling us the N-word and monkeys—stuff these young guys never heard directed at them from white lips…It was like the last drop in a bucket that overflows. Fights break out. Windows are smashed.”

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero. trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club is among the 130 books banned in this Tennessee County. Thanks to @aclutn.bsky.social and @penamerica.bsky.social for suing to fight back.

People need to be hearing about this shit every single day. Zoom in on literally anything here.

Big day

Sweetheart your uncle got off easy I’d have stabbed him with the cake knife

I'd show up at somebody's house ngl

There are physicists who tried to tell people this and we were labeled as histrionic libs who hate free speech

North Texas white supremacist sentenced to 60 years for abusing 14-year-old girl, officials say

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Trans friends, no amount of legal shell games and weaponized bigotry will make you anything less than perfect beings exactly as you are and wish to be.

NEW: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for their decision not to turn the planes around on March 15. He orders them either to fix their mistake or identify who made those decisions (presumably for further sanctions).

Wow it’s almost as if this was an entirely predictable outcome, you fools

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

tired: terfs arguing about women's bathroom wired: the long line of people of all genders waiting to piss on Rowlings' grave

*this is not sarcasm but a sincere plea* One way to emphasize it is to link to the actual story a) So people can read it beyond the headline and become better informed b) Pageviews are important as a measurable indication <to newsroom bosses> of reader interest in this kind of reporting!

I hate terfs. Repost if you also hate terfs.

Police deployed stun guns at a GOP town hall in GA last night. The US is a de facto police state, and has been for some time. They will, when given the right direction and permission, come after you. Never forget that your local police are armed, dangerous, and inclined to view you as a threat.

I’m reminded of a recent Judith Butler interview in which they pointed out that the history of feminism is characterised by resisting definitions of what a woman is or can be. The idea that my gametes (good lord) are what make me a woman feels as offensive as any other limitation i can imagine.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

New from 404 Media: ICE just paid Palantir tens of millions for "complete target analysis of known populations." Shows Palantir is actively working on, and updating, the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts www.404media.co/ice-just-pai...

Yeah this is the kind of thinking that brought us so-called “reverse discrimination.” See? They’re the same!!

This is so fucking dire. Donald Trump is destroying our cyber defenses because they proved he lost the 2020 election:

This is... terrifying actually

Judge Paula Xinis said at the start of a hearing for Kilmer Abrego Garcia. "We have to give process to both sides, but we're going to move… there will be no tolerance for gamesmanship or grandstanding," Xinis ordered the depositions to be completed by April 23. I pray this man is still alive. 🙏🏾

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

truly don’t understand why more dems aren’t being as outspoken as AOC when there’s clearly such huge appetite for it. it’s one of those rare times when it’s not just the right thing to do morally and ethically, it’s also super smart politically.

Ugh
