Fuck absolutely everythinf about this. Also, "some" should be "many". IDK of any librarian who would want to be charging fees.

As @jamellebouie.net has been saying, they are absolutely trying to bring back segregation.

this is literally all of it, in every single anti affirmative action movement everywhere on earth

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

every day I’m waking up finding out about a new cool thing the government does! unfortunately I’m finding out about it because it’s being shoved into a furnace

*chuckles nervously*

Did anyone else know you can buy caskets at Costco? Do they come in multipacks?? www.costco.ca/caskets.html

Just as a reminder, Pope Francis held a very deep disdain for American Catholicism because of your embrace of right wing politics.

He was good at poping. A rare quality among senior catholics, but one I hope they can find again.

Tumblr outlived 4chan. And that’s beautiful

Wheeeeeere do people get this idea that fascists are “competent”? They are not! Nazi Germany was a drug-fueled orgy of brute force and violence. Sadism requires no competence.

Judas: Thanks for inviting me to the Last Supper Jesus: The what? Judas: what?

reagan/bush judges: "this administration's shocking arguments would reduce the rule of law to lawlenssness" neocons: abolish ICE david brooks: communist manifesto Dem leadership, top liberal consultants/pundits: the latest NYT/Ipsos has Trump up +4 on immigration, +9 with noncollege men

Helped out a friend of mine while he was coming out as trans and seeing how much happier he was living as his true self awakened me to how vital proper healthcare access is to trans folk. I might've lost that friend had he not come out.

Wait, who was president when this was happening? They always leave that out of the Great Retcon. Propaganda 101. Trump ran the government during the construction of the supposed “censorship complex.” During election 2020. During vax development. And during the implementation of these policies.

The sheer fucking arrogance here is just something else...

Mack Trucks will lay off between 250 and 350 workers at its Lehigh Valley Operations center outside Allentown over the next three months, due to economic uncertainty caused by U.S. tariffs, a company spokesperson said Thursday.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

obviously Bukele has given his spin, but if a single senator can spring Kilmar for margaritas, then it has become exceptionally awkward for the President and his entire executive branch to insist there's nothing they can do to get him back to the US.

I've long been a fan of Senator... [checks notes] ... Van Halen

he’s actually alive and that’s really good news well done, Senator

not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.

the plan is to end American science research all of it, no exceptions other countries simply will not be able to fill the gaps here, this is just a shocking devastation of human scientific progress as a whole

Terfs can't legislate trans people out of existence. We see you. You're here. You're valid. You deserve the right to be left the fuck alone to live long, happy lives.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

You ever wonder if COVID never happened if politics would be in a better place? I wonder if less people would've been poisoniously radicalized...

Yeah, I'm feeling like everything is legal in the US right now, but also, everything is illegal in the US right now. 🇺🇸😞

fox and the gop have sold latino migrants as all being scary af ms-13 members. its the same thing nazis did with jewish people. repeat: it is the same thing nazis did with jewish people. the. same. thing.

Brave, courageous, powerful statement from Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer. Watch, cry a little, share and let's keep fighting everyone.

Yeah, it's the people describing him as the father of an autistic child who are "sensationalizing" this, and not the people who are insisting this guy with no criminal record is actually some sort of Super Terrorist Voltron who's worse than Osama bin Laden, MS-13 and Pablo Escobar combined.

I'm a cis woman & don't have a GRC. I have been challenged in loos by transphobes. What am I meant to do in this situation? Honestly just make ALL loos & changing rooms gender neutral with lockable cubicles. But of course that wouldn't make the transphobes happy, because it's not really about loos
