Israel attacking Iran and Iran attacking back has driven Israeli leaders underground and required US media to gingerly note the IDF maintains underground bases in “populated areas”. I wrote about this awkward fact and US media’s racist and cheesy “human shields” double standard.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Yeah sure they finally found the movie that the Library of fuckin' Congress hasn't been able to obtain for DECADES because Lucasfilm refused to send them the ACTUAL film that won FIVE ACADEMY AWARDS and is one of the most important films ever made, but it looks like it was made in the 70s oh no

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

there's been a fair amount of commentary on this but i think a big thing that Cuban et al. think but don't want to say (because it's embarrassing) is that they don't like that they're treated like everyone else here and that no one really cares who they are. they suck at posting and are facing that

This is like when I learned early 00's Transformers fandom spaces online would affix the "Trans-" prefix to just about any term to indicate it's a thing for/by Transformers fans lol

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

The attacks on the civilian population of LA are becoming more violent and more overtly authoritarian, and brutal. These are the tactics of a paramilitary terror force nothing else. These are rightwing death squads in the making. America is under attack by fascist governmental forces

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

As a cis woman I am wary of refocusing the lens from transphobia to (cis directed) misogyny but I've been saying this for ages. So much of transphobia is rooted in a deep misogyny and the unshakeable belief that women are lesser than men, intrinsically, unchangeably. The sports stuff is this, too.

I’ve got my ear to the ground and what I’m hearing is that these actions, by and large, are successful. The news media focuses on the protest. Meanwhile, ICE is being run out of neighborhoods.

apparently people on tumblr are doing a "hogwarts legacy pride week" (where they're sharing LGBTQ-themed hogwarts legacy content) how about you not do that let's stop trying to pretend like it is possible to make pro-LGBTQ content out of that franchise
