You know what to do.

We must not rest until all these people stand trial in The Hague.

Republicans quoted: 3 Democrats quoted: 0 They won’t break their own pro-Republican bias, even when Republicans have their hands around their throats

TheHill [Apr 14] - Medicaid urges states to not use funds for minors' affirming care. CMS head Mehmet Oz says hormones can cause "permanent, irreversible harm incl. sterilization..."---unless cisgender kids take them, in which case they're _totally_ safe. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Cuomo's reputation for "competence" is a totally imaginary media creation, designed to dupe liberals in a blue area into electing a conservative. His governorship was a series of embarrassing fuckups! Over and over! Didn't matter because media understood alternative to Cuomo would be a progressive

I get why ppl post there aren’t going to be midterm elections, but I also feel that saying that frequently and out loud cedes something we probably don’t want to.

I remember last year (maybe the year before that?), I tweeted that Korematsu was never explicitly overruled and a few lawyers disagreed with me on that. SCOTUS could have made the language explicit. They did not. We pay for the sins of the past.

it should be lower than this, no one should travel to america for safety reasons. bankrupt us! destroy our tourism industry

oop

By design. The Mike Johnson strategy is just to let Trump and Musk handle things, then vote to approve what they did.

one other way to think of this is that it is a massive program of upwards redistribution to wealthy business owners who can skimp on worker, consumer and environmental safety to juice profits for themselves www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

Writing is the process of digesting and organizing information and thoughts, you can’t farm it out to someone (or something) else, especially as a student. On the other end of this, all of the best teachers I’ve had have said they would teach for free, but they get paid to grade.

Just to play devil's advocate for a moment: what if Florence Pugh's last name is actually pronounced "Puff"?

Every time someone on tv says this I go “DUE PROCESS IS HOW WE DETERMINE WHO IS A CRIMINAL” but it’s like saying the sky is blue its the most obvious thing in the world

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Breaking News: Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who is a legal permanent resident, was arrested by ICE at a meeting he thought was a step to becoming a U.S. citizen. nyti.ms/4cxlwG4

Jesse did not ‘question an aspect of the progressive message.’ He dedicated his *entire career* to popularizing the idea that progressives are unhinged, anti-science freaks who are foisting permanent surgeries on kids without assessment.

i work at the factory that makes resealable snack pouches making sure the “tear here” label is too high above the ziploc thing when you rip it off. every day i leave work i get shot at in the parking lot by a half dozen guys wearing shirts tucked into jean shorts

Omg it’s real

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Another excellent reason - not that any more are needed - to make sure you do not rank Cuomo at all among your choices on the June primary ballot.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

fwiw, when I yell at my Senators about this I'm going to mention the citizen threshold, but "who gets disappeared into this disappearance machinery" is downstream from a bipartisan consensus to build it during the War on Terror and sustain it after. Now Trump can export anyone into an Omelas-Hole

One of my big fears is that there would be a new Kent State massacre and people would be so brainwashed that they wouldn’t even be horrified because we’ve fallen so far but that is pretty much actually what happened at Kent State

They violated a court order to keep the AP out of the event where they publicly violated a different court order

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

someone should ask call up Ken Griffey Jr (the player who came up with the Jackie Robinson Day everyone-wears-#42 tribute) and ask him what he thinks about this!

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Wow it's almost as if there's absolutely no way to compromise or cooperate with them and only complete witless dumbshits would have chosen not to fight immediately and directly to get their legally obligated money defector.com/the-bargain-...

Or you can refuse to vote for him because he's so corrupt and treacherous that he deliberately worked to keep Republicans in control of the state senate, all kinds of options here really

Ah the kind of Making America Great again where the president of El Salvador wipes his ass with the flag and the constitution in the Oval Office, got it

Getting woke means realizing Dr. Hibbert is just as unethical a doctor as Dr. Nick, he just figured out how to make the system work for him

They will, and I cannot emphasize this enough, not surprise you.

“Bluesky is too much of an echo chamber” have you spent five minutes in a political discussion here

“commonsense facts about sex and race”

You definitely don’t have to refuse to vote for Cuomo just because he’s a sexual predator, you can also refuse to vote for him because he killed thousands of people and then covered it up

Trump brags that his doctor marveled at the score he got on his cognitive test — "sir, I've never anyone get that kind …" — a test that every unimpaired person gets a perfect score on because that's the point.

Like I said, I was, for a time, this guys staff who oversaw housing. He doesn’t care and he isn’t smart.
