I’ve always thought that it was just good parenting to stay away from the Catholic Church and from the Republican party.

Look, it’s simply an incredible string of coincidences that so many Republican officials turn out to be pedophiles.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

'Gaslighting' comes from the title of a 1938 play and the movies based on that play. The plots of which involve a man attempting to make his wife believe that she is going insane.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

This is fucking ridiculous—but not surprising: The Missouri Supreme Court just effectively revived the state’s abortion ban, ignoring the fact that voters passed a pro-choice amendment in November.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 62 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Tariffs hurt consumers of all kinds of goods. But Trump mentioned 'dolls'--not toy trucks, GI Joe's, video games, basketballs, squat racks or protein powder. His aim: cast the pain that consumers face as feminine and frivolous. @moiradonegan.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A decades-long campaign to prevent infants from dying in their sleep has become a casualty of the Trump administration’s federal workforce cuts, and doctors fear it could contribute to more infant deaths at a time when mortalities have already been rising. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

I keep telling the women in my lives that they won’t lose their rights by EO but by a thousand cuts… a series of small, at-first-unnoticed, seemingly unimportant policy changes. We’ll be bleeding out before we feel any pain.

I’m a mother of four and pro-natalists would probably laud me. But MAGA policy ideas to increase the birthrate are regressive and creepy. Motherhood is hard and its labors unequal. Telling women to submit and stay home isn’t the answer. Women are people and need real choices.

One thing you notice about anti-feminism is that its public discourses are all about erecting a fantasy of men’s victimization that is clung to all the more desperately and insistently the more it contradicts the actual facts. So the more women are hurt, the more we’re told that men are suffering.

Really worthwhile read in The Guardian on the “womanosphere” by Anna Silman. Yikes. For more on retrograde anti-feminist and pro-natalist propaganda, there’s a great interview with Emily Amick on the latest Strict Scrutiny podcast. #strictscrutiny

This actually makes me emotional because it simultaneously shows the relevance of critical thinking, the arts, literature, history, and the law—and precisely why Trump is trying to erase all of them. Fighting back with liberal arts is an actual act of beauty.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
