some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

The burdens of Republicans’ campaign of hatred against the community affect trans people most severely, but they truly fall on everyone. I don’t want to live in a society where police officers come storming into the john demanding to see your private parts. www.advocate.com/news/lesbian...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. It’s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by almost $200 billion between November 5 and December 20. That means he could give $250,000 to every homeless person in the US and still be as rich as he was on November 5.

OK sports fans, so this is my last bulletin for my position at @losangelestimes.bsky.social. I resigned yesterday in protest of the paper's and owner's cozying up to Trump. Here's my explanation on my substack, where I hope you will follow me going forward. harrylitman.substack.com/p/why-i-just...

There is no common ground with Republicans. Their president-elect is a convicted felon & rapist who openly seeks revenge, gathers like-minded people around him, and wants to stay in power forever. We don’t need quiet politeness. We need angry, loud, and visible Democrats. Every. Damn. Day.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

Here is my write up in @thenation.com about yesterday’s awful anti-trans hearing at SCOTUS. If I made the arguments Alito and Barrett made when I was in law school, I would have gotten an F. Unless my professors were bigots like them.

To set the stage for what's about to happen at SCOTUS at 10:00am, the case is called US v. Skrmetti. It involves a Tennessee law that bans gender affirming care to trans minors, mainly things like hormone blockers.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

I hope everyone is paying close attention to how the Hunter Biden pardon is being covered. If you wondered why Trump and his cronies can betray America and commit ceaseless crimes for years without consequences but Democrats can't right obviously partisan wrongs, the current media reaction is why.

Sure, let's shout and scream over whether Joe Biden broke a norm by pardoning his son--yet stand by while a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist & depraved sociopath runs roughshod over our country, including choosing a heinous collection of corrupt, unfit extremists and sycophants for his cabinet.

The absolute DC chaos we're living through today reminds me of pretty much every day between 2017 and January 6. I thought Americans were ready to move past this circus era of politics but I guess we prefer clowns to competence. It's definitely good for clicks and scoops though!

A Democrat should leak the Gaetz report. Trump and MAGA invited a violent insurrection against our election and refer to the traitors as freedom fighters and political prisoners. This is nothing. Leak the report. Americans deserve to see it.

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

Hi everyone. The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off. I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

By January there will be over 1.5 million people with some form of executive permission to live and work in the US legally, whether it be DACA or Temporary Protected Status. Most have been here for 15-20 years or more. There will be economic shocks from stripping them of status and work permits.
