I hope it is very clear what antisemitism looks like, and I'll tell you what, it's not an op-ed condemning genocide. Consider that while Rumeysa Öztürk spent 6 weeks in prison for her constitutionally protected speech, the president's friend wouldn't dream of worrying about such a thing.

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

ice just kidnapped people off the side of the road in my town, they were wearing masks to hide their disgusting despicable faces

"please don’t forget about all these wonderful women in the immigration detention systems. I was so tired of witnessing cries, and pain that is all preventable..."

Masking shows that you care about your community and vulnerable populations.

In 2022, Oregonians passed Measure 111, which amends the state constitution to declare access to affordable healthcare a right. What does the journey to universal healthcare entail? Derek talks to experts working on the rollout. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-universal-healthcare-oregon

Again, the social media response that this is an issue of affect from the opposition party somewhat undercuts the claim that this is urgent

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

The movies don't show the part where rent is still due and chores still need done and, even if they are arresting elected officials in parking lots for saying things they don't like, one still must pay rent and do chores And how surreal and also impossible that feels most of the time

counterpoint: mehmet oz needs to fall into a tar pit

Per NBC News: Rumeysa Ozturk has been released!

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...

No. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to share medical data that each of us didn’t give express authorization to share. When this spreads to other conditions he wants to “track” and “cure,” my insurance company had better send me a voluntary consent form first. (Har de har har not going to happen.)

A report from the scene of a horrifying kidnapping on the streets of Worcester, MA today by @billshaner.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/they-dont-ne...

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

MAGA is so upset about the new Pope, you’d think they’d just watched someone give food to a starving child.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

Credible reports of at least 3 Indian Air Force jets downed. This counts as significant losses given the extreme difficulty with which such assets can be replaced. Unlikely this tempo can be maintained for very long without serious change in strategy.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Another good thread debunking viral disinfo about ongoing hostilities between India / Pakistan

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

This is the part where I remind my fellow Americans that our best estimates suggest that 1 in 4 trans people will serve in the military. williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications... And that they are actually more likely to do so than the general population. This is not nothing.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

Under RFK Jr., ‘Make America Healthy Again’ means junk science like ‘survival of the fittest.’ Read more from @laurenleffer.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Handing the levers of power over to a bunch of brain poisoned internet trolls does not seem to be working out all that well, gotta say.

Don't be a fuckin degen.

The headlines on Trump’s HHS review are getting better at least, acknowledging its major problems.

The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely. This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal. This is bioterrorism.

*wild eyed youtuber voice* the NIH is lying ... many illnesses are caused by tiny organisms invisible to the naked human eye... and they're ALIVE!

RFK Jrs dream is a Judge Rotenberg center on every corner

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. (Published Dec. 2024)

I think they made a major mistake releasing this review. It’s going over like a lead balloon in US media and I think it infects the other reviews like the Cass review and the Florida review - it shows how politicized the “government reviews” are from right wing governments.

The cops are defunding every major city.

jesse singal is being used as a primary reference by the trump administration on “the dangers of youth transgender care”. he is aiding the states objective of oppression of trans rights directly now

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report. Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today. opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

Extremely stupid - and he's not wrong, we are kinda dumb :/
