This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Yesterday I saw JK Rowling's cruel tweet mocking people for celebrating Asexuality Day and it really ate away at me, so I decided to write a bit about being ace and then I was still annoyed so I channeled it into art. Sooo new sticker in my shop lol! kategabrielle.com/collections/...

Incredible scene in Seoul tonight as President Yoon Suk Yeol’s supporters are storming the Seoul courthouse in response to his arrest. They are smashing the windows and vandalising the offices.

Just as one sweet angel baby love gets better, the other gets sick. :( (Yes it's weird and gross to call people sweet angel baby loves. Shut up.)

God this is so grim

They obeyed in advance…AGAIN! The Washington Post killed off its "Democracy Dies In Darkness" slogan. New slogan: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

What the actual fuck?!??! “…and guys, I’m just telling you right now, that’s how you do it. You go so young, they don’t know any better, than to go with you. That’s it.” -Mark Hartman Sugar Creek Baptist Church, Sugar Land, Texas

It will never stop being deeply sad to me that most people seem entirely disinterested in any non-familial love that doesn't revolve around sex.

Posting here reminds my of when my last account at the other place was fresh. I had created it just to enter a contest, and only started actually tweeting from it out of boredom one day while queuing in a very long line. It was cathartic, just tweeting into the void.

I'm not allowed to be in love with you because my joy in you isn't about your body.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I think I've found someone. I thought that wouldn't happen to me because I've never found romantic relationships fulfilling. I kept trying to make myself enjoy them, but only ever found them stressful and draining.

It's so nice how when anti-vaxxers and pro-vaxxers argue about vaccines, at least they can agree that it is a tragedy to end up a child like me and most of the people I love.

"Friends of the alleged killed say she chose to pursue Shane, a clear sign of emotional instability."

Tapper: You said you don't like all these anonymous accusations, and I should be able to interview these people. I'm saying, ok, shouldn't Hegseth release this woman from her NDA so that I can do what you suggested at the top of the interview, you wanted me to do? Scott: Absolutely not.

THREAD: How to check if the screenshot of a social media post is real or fake? Fake screnshots of online posts regularly mislead people. So, here's a simple guide on how you can quickly check if a screenshot of a post attributed to an account is genuine or fake before falling for or sharing it.

Bezos admits he's a walking conflict of interest which would ordinarily make him a terrible person to own the Washington Post but he also has a lot of money so its cool

I don't seek a partner anymore. Everyone else is looking for someone to play house with, and all I ever wanted was someone to be weird little guys with.

“While leaving the town, I saw many bodies lying on the ground, and dogs were devouring some of them. I also saw men and women who were wounded, still alive but drowning in their own blood, with no one to help them. This is not life; we are dying slowly”

This whole interview was, let’s say, revealing.

"[The neo-Nazis] said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched, waved flags and yelled racial slurs. One of the officers noted the men were 'covered in' pepper spray."

I forgot there was a movie based on a William Gibson story that had Ice T and Henry Rollins in it and Stabbing Westward on the soundtrack. I feel slightly better about the world having remembered.

President-elect Donald Trump has picked Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought to lead the White House budget office.

I'm so tired of these takes. I'm already very familiar with the views of people who disagree with me politically. Exactly how many times should I be obligated to listen to people say the same damn things I've already heard a hundred times before?
