brilliant

Something I am thinking about right now is that a 3 million dollar program that allows abused women to take their pets with them to domestic violence shelters is about to be cut because “we don’t have the money” but the government is about to spend 1000000000x more than that to bomb people

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Everyone is throwing out examples of Iraq War-era mass derangement so I might as well throw in Amanda Bynes doing a peace sign on a movie poster being photoshopped out for fear of being seen as an antiwar statement

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

It's true that progressives valorize "ugliness." But I think this person doesn't interrogate this position enough and thus lands at the wrong conclusion. Let me give you my perspective on ugliness. 🧵

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

Interviews with local business guys are like, "I voted for the dictator on day one but I didn't think that meant a secret police would take my best workers to a black site."

We live in a world where the Pope takes part in a White Sox chant at the Vatican

trump was ambivalent about israel attacking iran, then hawkish after the first big attack, then he backed off once iran retaliated, then hawkish again after a spate of news stories about how iran was willing to back down, then he backed off once again after the latest strikes. for anyone counting

just found out. devastated.

In light of Pride month I'm fundraising for Point of Pride, an incredible trans-led nonprofit that provides direct gender affirming care & things like HRT to trans ppl in need. Please, please donate any small amount that you can. Every bit makes a major impact! secure.givelively.org/donate/point...

i think it’s not talked about enough that so many christian rightwingers support israel because they want to trigger the end times rapture and they believe supporting israel will ensure this

this is a good time to remember that conservatives only ever want to be in more left leaning spaces to get reactions out of people, if enough people block them they’ll get bored and leave

fuck the New York Times and everyone who works or writes for them and please let me emphasize yes, I mean everyone

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

it’s interesting the only countries that aren’t allowed to have or can’t be trusted with nukes are US designated enemies but we can just send israel nukes and that’s fine. they can have those

Men have longer commutes than women. It will be harder to understand why that is (and what to do about it) now that @trb.org is avoiding research related to gender, race, and climate. doi.org/10.1016/j.re...

along with the indignities suffered by this woman in injury and death, now her family is probably in around a million $ in debt. shithole country.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

i hope the ambulance is OK

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Zuck in 3 months: We're seeing record levels of people creating Reels on our platform, and I find that really inspiring. *Investors cheer*

Look, I don’t much care what Tulsi Gabbard says either, but here’s the thing: I didn’t appoint her to be my Director of National Intelligence.

it’s so funny that rightwingers do this “take care of yourself today ❤️” type shit about starting new foreign wars

Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

Thanks to NPR for explaining that due to the ancient, mysterious culture of Persia, Iranians "don't like to be attacked" npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

without fail whenever a leftwinger is close to winning or wins a democratic election centrist media talks about democracy being on the brink of collapse
