yeah I think this is an underrated part of why a lot of millennials are durably liberal - we came of age in the Great Recession and it fucking sucked if zoomers shift left again the coming Trump recession is likely to be the biggest reason why, it’s not the sort of thing you forget

report with alt text community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

Pouring out a little liquor today for the handful of women astronauts who survived years of onerous training, men, and men only to have the press make Katy Perry their equal.

Hey, fellow Yale grads. The great @michaelgerber.bsky.social shared this with me - a letter from alums to the Yale president and trustees asking them to stand up against this administration. Please feel free to sign if you're a Yale grad and feel inclined! (I did.) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

To give you an idea of what living every day with @terra.gay is like, yesterday I literally had to slap my hand over her mouth while she tried to loudly shitpost the FFXIV copypasta while we walked through a residential block. "Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG-mmmmph!"

I'm not musically inclined enough to do it but I just want to point out that "Springtime for Trump and El Salvador" drops pretty nicely into "Springtime for Hitler" from "The Producers".

We are all the woman at 0:43 who just goes "uugghhhh". You can practically hear her eyes roll.

You love to see it

BREAKING. From a reliable source. MITRE support for the CVE program is due to expire tomorrow. The attached letter was sent out to CVE Board Members.

Have we really become so woke that we are no longer comfortable sending innocent people to die in torture camps?

Trans people refusing assimilation must be anti-racist. We have to recognize that being acceptable to the white middle class will not save us, and seeking that protection makes us part of the racial and class violence perpetrated by those in power. Safety does not come from boot licking.

New tour dates up — been in the kitchen but it’s almost time to serve it up www.mountain-goats.com/tour

BREAKING - "You haven't said the word trans yet" - Video depicts protester calling out Rep. Laura Friedman for silence and complicity on anti-trans violence youtu.be/v-RwrmYjtQ0

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

in America being a “criminal” has very little to do with whether you have actually committed a crime, it actually means you are a “degenerate” or “undesirable” it’s an intrinsic status that marks you as deserving no civil rights

one of the more important aspects of the Harvard story comes at the end: the grants being rescinded are “vital to national security, American manufacturing, economic competitiveness and progress toward energy independence.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

In her latest piece, @erininthemorning.com challenges us to reflect on what happens when fear leads to compliance—before it is even expected. The consequences extend far beyond the trans community. They strike at the core of democratic values.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

WOW. The Trump admin is attempting to strip a green card from a Buddhist Palestinian who's committed to nonviolence, just because he advocated on behalf of Palestinian human rights. Free speech is being trampled on by this administration.

I’m too lazy to create sock puppet accounts to tell me how awesome I am so I just have to settle for liking and replying to my own skeets.

This is just a 100% stupid thing to say

They are concentration camps, not prison camps.

The social sanctions for being an ICE employee should be massive and devastating enough that people are very reluctant to take the job, like we should treat it on the same order as being a member of a violent neo-Nazi extremist militia

I got a message that my quarterly retirement plan report is available, but every time I click on it it's just Goatse. Weird.

NEW: Trump to USA: There is no rule of law. Today, Trump signaled he would not abide by court decisions and return to the US a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He won't even ask El Salvador to send him back. This is cruel & dangerous. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

“Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy,” said Captain G M Gilbert, the army psychologist assigned to watching the Nazis on trial at Nuremberg. Just in case you were wondering what to call it.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

The terrorism the criminals in the White House are doing to immigrants is scarier than anything else they have done so far and that’s saying something since I’m trans and they won’t shut up about how excited they are to hurt us. Nothing matters if they can just kidnap you and dump you somewhere.

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

Palantir boldly advertising to Stanford students who have always dreamed of working for the Waffen-SS

I love spring.

This is actually just more eugenics from Elon: kill off the “weak” workers, bring up “strong” workers. People are just cattle to him.

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.
