alright, i'm asking in seriousness. do folks know what lynching is? do folks know the legal issues with lynching? it's actually more complicated than you think, and i'm not a legal scholar so i don't want to step out of my lane--BUT I'VE READ BOOKS.

This Tufts student was grabbed off the street, cuffed and taken out of state solely because she co-wrote a completely respectful oped in the student paper. And Rubio’s State Dept now admits they have nothing more damning than that. Gift link wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

We are the only people who have no right to know where we come from and it’s so fucked up. No right to know whether we’re adopted unless some third party decides to tell us. No right to determine our fate from birth. It sucks.

Pam Bondi is the first AG in American history who was a lobbyist for a foreign dictatorship. And in her first move as AG: "The Justice Department is scaling back enforcement of laws governing foreign lobbying transparency and bribes of foreign officials." news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

What a month this week has been. Lemon, it's Tuesday. This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.

It's so frustrating seeing these institutions roll all the way over far in advance like little yellow-bellied bitch-babies when they could instead just adopt the obstinacy of a petulant child and say MAKE ME

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.

Holy shit! This bill makes it a felony to call a child by the correct name and pronouns, even with parental permission. Republicans want to exterminate all trans people. Fuck every Democrat who bought and repeated their "It's about fairness in sports and protecting kids" bullshit.

A lot of Dem incumbents are going to be confused and upset to find their strongest challenger next primary is "anyone but you." I hope this shakes out to be more progressive, but it doesn't have to. Dem voters will just want anyone who doesn't seem as useless as the potatoes currently in the seats.

WIC. They are pausing WIC. That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings in the same fiscal year. For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

There are no "good" social media platforms only flawed ones being used by flawed people. Folks are using these platforms for many different reasons. To me, the endless discourse is really tedious. Millions of people found Tik Tok of use. Of course they will be pissed that it's banned.

No handover of power to fascists is peaceful. What will happen is a polite sanctioning and endorsement of an inherently violent transfer of power.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Never talk to the police! Cops act friendly to get you comfortable and talking - not to help you, but in hopes you'll incriminate yourself. No good! The less you say, the harder it is for them to win in court. Stopped by 12? Invoke the 5th - and lawyer up - fast!

Every time we see this, we should repost it. Let's make it the anti-fascist version of the "Tom Holland Lip lip syncing to Umbrella in a corset" video: everyone must reshare every time, and no one gets annoyed.

Met him in an airport bar once in 2006. He spit on my shoes but I’m pretty sure it was accidental. Signed a barrel for me, which @deltaairline.bsky.social wouldn’t let me bring on my flight and I had to leave it at the gate. #ThanksForNothing Feels like yesterday. Can’t believe he’s gone.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Every year we wait for the rain to fall and we are happy about it... but yesterday I cried when it rained. because the people who live in tents, where do they go while the rain is on their heads? Nothing protects them from this cold except the piece of cloth that they wrap around the tent.😥

Heads up everyone - this means they hate how well the blocklists work, which is amazing. But also time to be discerning about which lists you subscribe to.
