What we witnessed was a political kidnapping of an elected official and I don't know what more to say than that.

I don’t care what Ozturk wrote. It doesn’t matter. This is America. We’re fucking free to have opinions of all sorts. It doesn’t matter. You don’t get to lock up people for bad thought. That’s against the fucking law and morals and fuck every last person arguing that this is a crime. Fuck all of em

Meanwhile FOX et al are doing the same thing they do when police shoot Black people. They are putting the focus on the people victimized to accuse THEM of being brutes instead of ON THE FUCKING COPS engage in brutality. KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE COPS.

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

This is the mayor of the largest city in New Jersey, who was just last week offering vocal and unflinching support for trans people and calling out Democrats for cowardice and inaction. This is fucking horrifying.

At the time that insane arrest/abduction video emerged, it was hard to believe that even the Trump administration would proceed so precipitously and recklessly on the basis of year-old protected speech in the student newspaper. But that’s really all there was.

most everyone seems to think of this as being about adult content, but like y'all remember project 2025, and how they want to deem queer content and queer people as "pornographic", right? this is even worse than what kosa could be

It should be a massive scandal that the President of the United States admits on pretty much a daily basis he has no idea what's going on in his administration or why.

A new book asks, “Who had the audacity to prevent the death and disability of children?” Here’s an accessibly-written review of the science and the grim reality that the danger to kids is repeated exposure to COVID, not school closures. 5.8 million kids with long COVID in the US. So far.

Some of the best Warhammer players in the world are boycotting a championship in the U.S. over our embrace of fascism. One Belgian player cited specifically legal actions against trans people as one reason he will not participate. Nice to see.

Many people, especially women, are accused of over "overreacting" when they ask people to wear masks & take rapid tests when sick. Reminder that preventing a virus that can cause long-term consequences is a normal reaction

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

fwiw, i’m pretty firmly of the opinion that the attacks we’re seeing against access to vaccines are inextricably linked to attacks against abortion access and gender-affirming healthcare: they are each concrete steps by a government intent on depriving us all of bodily autonomy.

Nancy Mace being startled and upset by an all-gender restroom is just the clearest example of how soft and dumb and fearful conservatives are. I’m tired of treating their refusal to live in a complex world as valid. Like, just grow the fuck up already.

There is no bipartisanship possible with Republicans while they refuse to exercise the lawful powers of Congress and impeach an obviously corrupt President. Any D cooperating with them on ANYTHING is betraying the country.

Nothing is more infuriating right now than the articles that aren’t being written. Where are the fucking decent straight white people saying “not in my name. I’m not my ancestors, white people are doing old school bigotry!”?? Please come to the mic.

On the merits this is just one instance of administrative vandalism among many, but I'm always struck in stories like these by how inexpensive/efficient these legacy government programs are. A year of funding Energy Star is more or less Blake Snell's annual salary. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...
