If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isnā€™t important, youā€™ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

"It is impossible to imagine abolition for big terrible things like 'the law' and 'the police' and 'prison' if you donā€™t try to imagine and practice it in what might seem to be the small and insignificant things. The little things matter. The tiny and small and tender interactions are important."

ProPublica is recording the casualties of the DOGE purge, highlighting the scale of what is being lost as public health programs and seasoned experts are caught in the Trump administrationā€™s blunt-force drive to shrink the federal government.

I'm here outside the Tesla showroom in Devon, Pa. west of Philly where about 10 hearty souls are protesting unelected billionaire Elon Musk #TeslaTakedown

Buffalo #TeslaTakedown demonstration happening now, led by former workers! Meeting up at the South Park Tops just down the road from a Tesla plant

I told @washingtonpost.com that this case should be a slam dunk ā€” thereā€™s no legal gray area when it comes to punishing the press for word choices. But this shouldnā€™t need to go to court. In a healthy democracy, politicians wouldnā€™t try this kind of stunt because the public wouldnā€™t stand for it.

300 people showed up outside of Murkowski & Sullivan's offices. On a Thursday. In February. In Anchorage, Alaska! Alaskans are taking a stand and demand our elected officials to do the same. We don't expect you to save us but we do expect you to STAND WITH US! In-person town hall anyone??

Every year, Anjanette Young, whose home was wrongfully raided in 2019, stands outside of City Hall to demand justice and accountability. An ordinance that will be named in her honor has still not been approved and is still facing opposition. thetriibe.com/2025/02/six-...

all of central Brooklyn is playing a game of Egg The Cybertruck with this one guy who keeps street parking in the hood

Six years later, Anjanette Young remains frustrated with lack of CPD reform www.audacy.com/wbbm780/news...

"A major riot broke out [at] Upstate New York [prison] on Thursday" following another "major riot...on Wednesday..." Revolt follows growing strike by guards angry that 7 co-workers now face murder charges for savage beating death of Robert Brooks in December. www.corrections1.com/riots-and-cr...

City workers removed fire extinguishers. One big thing I learned during years of human services field research is that you have to give people as many opportunities to safely make it to the day when things might change for them. This has been a week of unsafe things happening at the park.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangioneā€™s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

I hope people who think you can separate 'positive' from 'toxic' masculinity are paying attention to narratives on the right, because it's very obvious that pushing the idea that young men need 'positive' masculine role models (protector, defender) is part of their overarching patriarchal project.

In the 2 weeks since Lurie Childrenā€™s Hospital paused surgeries for transgender youth, @kschorsch.bsky.social has spoken with 10 patients or their parents about what it means for their lives for @wbez.org. They described disappointment, loss of hope and anger. www.wbez.org/health-medic...

Iā€™m begging the media to call Nazi salutes ā€¦ ā€œNazi salutes.ā€ You can write ā€œhe gave a Nazi salute.ā€ Thatā€™s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Whatā€™s wrong, babe? You havenā€™t touched your Eggo-brand alcoholic Appalachian sippinā€™ cream

NEW: Trump's DOJ is threatening to prosecute a central New York sheriff. Why? The sheriff released a man ICE wanted to arrest, after the man completed his sentence. A constitutional scholar told us "there's no basis in the law" for such charges. But the DOJ wants to spook local officials. More:

Replies are now off on this because people are using them as a space to be horrible to each other (and to us). Note: this protest was organized by Indivisible. Probably 99% of them voted for Harris. You can be mad about their tactics if you want but it is profoundly silly to call this an op!

From cop to correspondent: read how Jaeson Jones leveraged his police background to become a prominent voice in MAGA media, gaining unprecedented access to border operations while spreading controversial narratives about immigration @texasobserver.org

Weā€™re being ruled by the biggest fucking losers on the planet.

Protesters unhappy with Democratic party leadership's tepid response to President Trump's authoritarian power grab disrupted outside a Hakeem Jeffries book tour event tonight on Michigan Avenue.

Scrolled through alll of the replies & quotes to the video of the Jeffries protest. Overwhelmingly, like at least 20 to 1, "are you kidding me? a book tour?!?" over "why aren't you driving to South Dakota to protest John Thune, huh?"

i wanna be direct. Steve Bannon is an alumnus of Virginia Tech and this university should revoke his degree.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

Hello new followers, and also trolls. We have a website. It's free. You're welcome to Google our contributors as well. Have never voted Republican, lol. You look goofy as hell attacking journalists for documenting protests and we are seriously concerned about the lack of reading comprehension!

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

CPD, like all police departments, is rife with gender based abuse within the ranks. Every month we read COPA reports about cops accused of intimate partner violence and assault. This is all we think about when the public is assured they can rely on detectives to "catch" a predator on the loose.

1/3 BREAKING A Cook County judge today ordered the release of a #Chicago man who has spent nearly 29 years locked up for a murder he says he didnā€™t commit. The judge yesterday tossed out Robert Johnson's conviction. He was 16 when arrested after Eddie Binion's murder on the South Side.

In the White House briefing room, the press secretary is touting the value of Elon Musk's X and claiming, falsely, that many news organizations depend on it as part of their business model. Then she turned it over to a senior X official who is now also talking about the "value" of X.

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.
