This is an image that will resound like a shot around the world. This is Emily Feiner, a NY social worker, being physically hauled out of a Republican Mike Lawler's town hall meeting by brown shirts in the NY-17 district - for asking the right questions. International community: do your thing!

New Alabama Law Requires Women To Leave Semen On Lower Back For 9 Months

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Here's your reminder that the U.S. is still jailing Rumeysa Ozturk—over an op-ed. The State Dept admittedly found no evidence she’s antisemitic or supports Hamas. And yet she’s behind bars for speech. In America. Absolutely deranged. reason.com/2025/04/30/r...

I saw a snippet of this guy on the news. I didn't realize he's blind in addition to being homeless. And now he's evicted from his campsite, along with his close neighbors. This is not how Oregonian should be treating their most vulnerable folks.

These people never watched Black Mirror, did they? I'm thinking it should be mandatory from now on.

And it benefits seemingly *no one* else. futurism.com/trump-tariff... @vtanger.bsky.social

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

What has our country come to? That shining light of freedom is once again dimming. First Mahmoud Khalil, now Helyeh. Who's next? Are US born students now afraid to speak out at their schools too? The ripples of this affect every citizen. This is #FascismRising

Suspended for Pro-Palestine Speech: My Statement on Yale Law School’s Embrace of AI-Generated Smears 1/3

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

This cannot be shouted from the rooftops loud enough.

630,000 Virginians may lose health care if Republican cuts to Medicaid pass. Under the trigger law, even a 1% federal cut to Medicaid could cause all of them to lose coverage. Republicans are pushing this along with tax cuts for billionaires. The first vote is today; I'm voting no, obviously.

@levernews.com 🔌 A secret society is fleecing you. New data show that in the last three years, private corporate utilities have jacked up electricity rates 49 percent more than the rate of inflation, while publicly owned utilities have raised rates 44% less than the rate of inflation.

“‘Move fast and break things’ may be acceptable to someone who owns a business and owns the risk. And if things don’t go well, the damage is compartmentalized. But when you break things in government, you’re breaking things that belong to people who didn’t sign up for that.” wtop.com/government/2...

This. This sums up my feelings right now.

If you want a long, but very thorough, read on just how crazy dangerous the situation is with Elon, @brockm.bsky.social has laid it all out in a single article. Please read it. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/05/t...

All hands on deck - please email your senators to make it clear you do not support this new antisemitism legislation, which puts the hands of defining antisemitism in evangelical extremists.

The Nation’s Conscience The courageous stance of students across the country in defiance of genocide is accompanied by a near total blackout of their voices. Their words are the ones we most need to hear. Chris Hedges open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

It's difficult to accept the fact that I am a citizen of a corporatocratic authoritarian empire where profit is more important that the future of humanity.

What we're seeing is unprecedented. The masks the USA and Israel had been wearing have finally come off. What's under it is terrifying - The US Empire, a militarized police state largely controlled by zionists & zealots, and "ready" for an unwinnable war. www.youtube.com/live/vdxt23f...
