From people who don't have a clue what socialism is other than "I think it means government handouts."

I dunno, maybe qualified immunity is bad for the public good.

This Wednesday, Elon Musk called for the death sentence for transgender youth care providers. It was in reply to a post calling for full criminalization of all gender-affirming surgery. Musk is becoming even more radicalized in targeting trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Elon Musk Calls For “Death Sentence” for GAC Providers

Musk’s posts are not just inflammatory rhetoric. They have real-life consequences.

2 hams in the fridge. One purchased today and another from last week. Both terribly spoiled by different bacteria. Bean soup was still yummy. Can't go wrong.

If rich rape enablers want to go after the mayor too, they won't be able to hide behind institutional inertia.

You're not making pragmatic calculations, you're not bargaining or impeding fascism in any way, shape, or form, you are a gullible mark at best, or hate your fellow human beings so much you're engaging in willful collusion with fascism as long as it hurts them no matter how many others are harmed.

US international policy is to destroy other nations to prevent them from being as powerful as ours. Meanwhile US domestic policy is to destroy ourselves as quickly as possible. Destruction all the way down.

ICE has abducted Senegalese WBB player Aminata Seck and won't release her. DHS 'policy' is to provide medical care to prisoners at intake, yet they admit to denying her care for an ACL injury for 1.5 months. The NCAA is letting it happen, despite its predatory recruitment of ICAs. We explain.

ICE has abducted a college athlete. What are the NCAA and universities going to do about it?

Aminata Seck’s detention shows the bargain facing international college athletes: universities eagerly recruit them, but support can disappear when their immigration status becomes precarious.

Premeditated robbery, and murder. Kidnapping and false imprisonment if Trump was a regular person. He was gonna go at Iran back in 1987, according to this. The only reason he made a deal to get Venezuelan oil is that he had to make it look as tho he was freeing ppl, and not stealing.

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1:
A woman and a man sit on a low stone wall in a park. The woman is upset; the man listens.

WOMAN: And now the Democrat in the race is backing some anti-trans laws! I’m not sure I can vote for that.

MAN (thinking): Uh-oh. Democrats need every vote. How can I convince her to vote for the Democrat anyway?

Panel 2:
The woman and man walk through the park, the woman ahead of him.

WOMAN: Of course, the Republican is even worse. But if Democrats turn against trans people… I’m so frightened.

MAN (thinking): I’ve got to be empathetic and persuasive.

Panel 3:
Close-up of the man, looking thoughtful with his hand on his chin.

WOMAN (off-panel): Look at what happened to the UK — they’ve now got two anti-trans parties. If we let that happen here, trans rights are dead.

MAN (thinking): Okay, I think I know how to reassure her and get her vote.

Panel 4:
The man is suddenly furious, leaning toward the startled woman and pointing at her.

MAN: You’re a Trump supporting moron and you deserve to die!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH
PANEL 1:
A good dog with a halo peers out a window. A hand sticks out of a hole in a tree holding a sign that says SEND CANDY.

PANEL 2:
Groucho peeks from behind some bushes. A poster nailed to a tree reads "Background gag to come and it'll be so funny!" A bad rabbit (we know it's bad because it's smoking) sits beside a bad worm (also smoking). A bottle lying in the grass is labeled "BARRY BEER" and has a disturbed-looking drawing of Barry. A mouse holds a knife to a cat; the cat raises its front paws in surrender.

PANEL 4:
A giant mouse (?) in a shirt and tie sits on the wall reading a newspaper, called "Daily Blah Blah," whose headline says "Literate Rodent Escapes Lab."
