'prison rape shouldn't happen to anyone' is one of those sentiments that should not be nearly as controversial as it is

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Interstate 64 near Louisville, KY. The Resistance is in full swing.

The University of Pittsburgh has paused all of its PhD admissions because of Trump-Musk hammering research funding. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only

Why do I wake up with a headache? Were my dreams that stressful?

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Doug Mastriano is a big fucking idiot and an insurrectionist. He previously had a failed run for governor in Pennsylvania and is now introducing PA senate bill 213, which discriminates against trans people. qburgh.com/stop-sb213/

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

Trump gutted the National Labor Relations Board and things are already getting grim. The new board’s first memo signal its intentions to hamstring organizing and worker mobility, allow captive audience meetings, and deny college athletes’ right to unionize. www.nlrbedge.com/p/acting-gen...

Happy Monday #knitsky - this is my newly finished Stamford Sweater. I love it! 🧶

I may never fly again.

There’s just no chance we ever have anything approximating real elections after this

Outside of what is going on in the world, the next two weeks are going to be stressful for me at work and I just know I am going to have so much anxiety banging around in my body and I hate it!!!

Trump's HUD plans to fire 50% of its workforce. The Department of Housing and Urban Development will fire workers in the offices that enforce civil rights laws, compile data about the housing market, and help rebuild communities after disasters. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Did Elon's pimple popping incel posse create a backdoor in the Treasury payment system for their criminal hacker friends to get in, or did they directly compromise these accounts themselves? I want every Democrat asking that question in every interview every day.

So many people will die because of this. So much trauma will be rained down on gen z and gen alpha because of this.

I truly feel bad for these people. They were conned by con men and now they will suffer (as the rest of us suffer as well.)

If you are a MAHA person get the fuck right out of my life right now. I don’t want to know you. Truly.

Kennedy is on Laura Ingraham right now and it’s fucking terrifying. I don’t think a lot of Americans have any idea what’s about to happen with their health care.

Oh look. Everyone’s favorite “democrat” @senatorslotkin.bsky.social voted for someone who has no business being in this role. Someone who will shut down SNAP and school lunch programs and who knows what else. This will negatively affect millions of Michiganders. You should be ashamed, Elissa.

If you want to know why I support abolition, this is why. This is disgusting. Locking up people for profit. Just the grossest thing imaginable.
