Gavin Newsome can get bent. CNN can get bent, too.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./ Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

One FULLY INTENDED effect of transphobia is to remove Black and other racialized women from the category of "women" and restrict womanhood to cis white conventionally attractive women who can bear children. It's all part of a white supremacist project.

Dear US colleagues, In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France. There are several M$ in the budget. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

So I'm watching yet another iteration of diaspora wars try to unfold on the clock app & the age old "Black Americans don't know where they came from" has popped up. I used to get mad about it, but I did one of those ancestry kits (for a totally different reason) and the results make that line funny

Texas judge fines New York doctor for prescribing abortion pills to a woman near Dallas www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Went down to Mass Av today to see where @mayorwu.boston.gov is having bike lane infrastructure removed and met Fernando who bike commutes year round and relies on the new Mass Av bike lane in Dot to keep him safe You can see how the flexposts are no longer installed behind him 😳

wait, you’re telling me that by objecting to unanimous consent, a single senator can grind the body to a halt?

Why MTG and LB weren’t sanctioned and Al Green was: 1) white men do not see white women as a threat. 2) Democrats value form and decorum above everything. Republicans do not. 3) Al Green is Black. 4) Trump wants complete power. It’s a white supremacist capitalist (fascist) patriarchy. YW.

I'm pretty sure that every time I have to watch the anti-ridershare tax ad paid for by Uber, an angel loses its wings. Aside from the fact that I'm sure that an ad paid for by Uber is inaccurate and slanted as hell, it's *such* an obnoxious ad spot. Teeth-grindingly so.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Does anyone at this point doubt that Trump is jealous of Putin dispatching his rivals? Or, that surrounded by sycophants and Nazis, he wouldn’t do the same?

Hey: if you're an REI member you get to vote on the board of directors. There are three candidates on the ballot, all of whom oppose workers rights, and REI has blocked pro-worker candidates. When you get your email ballot, vote "withhold" on all three to support workers.

Just stop buying from Temu. It is that easy. Temu does not sell legitimate merchandise and rips off small creators constantly. If you support small businesses don't buy on Temu.

No Cuomo. hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

SESAME STREET WORKERS ARE UNIONIZING!!! ✊ This morning, workers at the nonprofit behind Sesame Street delivered their letter asking for voluntary recognition to management! Read all about it: www.opeiulocal153.org/news/employe...

The Supreme Court's first and only opinion today is San Francisco v. EPA. The majority substantially weakens the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge. It is 5–4 in relevant part, with Barrett, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

my most leftist belief is that we should be allowed to keep poop out of the water

There's literaly an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer in the works. It's shown promising results in a Phase 1 trial. Most people with pancreatic cancer are dead within 5 years. It's what killed Patrick Swayze.

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

This seems elementary, but also worth noting. If you have been a customer of a business and are withdrawing your support for political reasons, such as their DEI rollbacks 🎯, be sure to specifically *tell them that* instead of just stopping your spending. TELL THEM WHY.

Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them! @standupforscience.bsky.social

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

This is a good article. I have a lot of thoughts about anti-vaxxers, as a committed fan of vaccinations who spent a lot of time in online parenting communities back in the early 2000s (when my kids were little).

Never let them have any peace.

FYI to artists: I'm told that Discord has updated to add generative AI to its systems that allow users to edit ANY image using AI without permission. As of right now, I don't know that there are opt-outs on this. I'd personally be wary of sharing images on Discord.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.
