NOT. SWIM GOGGLES. Friends. Do not wear swim goggles at a protest. If you take a projectile to the face the force can pop your eyeball out of its socket. If you're going to invest in protest eyewear, use impact resistant safety goggles and tape the vents.

This. Every targeted strike elsewhere proves Israel's government wants to wipe Palestinians from the map and doesn't care if it kills its own people in the process.

Newsom needs to grow a pair and order the LAPD to arrest ICE agents.

"Wait, wait. Go back to the middle thing."

the salient point here is not who he is, but the fact that he did not commit any crime.

This is why so many of Trump’s public interpreters are young white women. They bring this to his toolkit. Did anyone else read Jeff’s piece on this re: Noem? It is in the pocket. religiondispatches.org/dont-take-th...

oh ok it's real like actually real

"I’ve raved about Premee Mohamed’s short stories before, so it’s no surprise that I am delighted by her latest collection." Awwww thank you for the BookRiot shout-out @lmanusos.bsky.social ! 💖 bookriot.com/new-sff-coll...

“Laken Riley “ acts makes ANY THEFT an offense that can be held without bond And he passed that and people argued it was good Where the hell did you think that was going but to be able to attack folks who were that much in need or that much without defense LIKE DAY LABORERS ?!?

And I'll tell you right now I grabbed one of those kaffleklatsch sessions with Kevin J. Anderson. Still a couple left - join us, it should be a fun session!

Maybe arresting Senators is what it's finally gonna take for the Senate to start doing its fucking job. But I wouldn't count on it.

this guy is gonna start WW3 to avoid jail

Trump's people know who he is. They know he's a felon. They know he's in the Epstein reports. They know he's fucked over multiple businesses. They don't care. No revelation made matters. He hates who they hate and that's enough. No reveal will change this truth. It is their ENTIRE personality.

Which is also why vaccines are under attack. Most people have forgotten you didn't name a baby until its first birthday because why waste a family name on a kid who was probably going to die?

Gods, it's like listening to the psychotropic-drug superfans scornfully dismissing the "talking therapies". Like, you know, who needs to ask a real person to describe what's going on with them, discuss it with them, and maybe even solve the problem at source? *So* ridiculously last-century. :/

STRANGE HORIZONS is at $7775 out of their $20,000 goal (STRETCH GOALS TO FOLLOW, COME ON PEOPLE)

I feel like anyone who said this has never had to put pants on a toddler.

I can’t believe I have to say this again do not follow what these Democrats are saying and for the love of God, do not sit down at a rally where they are charging you with horses and shooting into the crowd because they will shoot you in the head and kill you. Do not sit down at a mass protest.

In which J.R. crushes it.

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

People need to see what’s happening. ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless. Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

GODDAMMIT Padilla and Schiff! Back to the phone lines again.

Childhood disease before vaccination is why we don't have a word for a parent who's buried a child. An orphan is defined by lack of parents, a widow by lack of husband, but before vaccines, almost every adult of childbearing age had buried at least one baby, if not more.

God PLEASE like I don’t trust polls but New York please I beg please for all the years I lived there under terrible mayors please do this for me vote for Zohran

I’m not sure even how to describe it but being both child of a convicted perso. Whose deported and an Ivy League graduate People do really well with easy power dynamics that feed the savior complex The ones that involve making someone a PEER are much harder Even if it’s what is NECESSARY

ICE is deploying tactitical units to Chicago Seattle Philadelphia New York Northern Virginia There are folks on the ground doing the work to keep folks safe, mobilizing & coordinating w/ community orgs. Not everything is posted online, for safety. Chicago— We’re going to keep each other safe.
