The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

I know it goes without saying but as the right wing media-political complex runs from Trump we should remember that they played a leading role in--and gleefully profited from--enabling and promoting him. Accomplices trying to get off a sinking ship, trying to salvage what's left of their reputation

We eliminated measles in the United States in 2000. Now look where we are: 2,289 cases in 2025. 3,294 and counting in 2026. Vaccination rates are falling. Outbreaks are growing. This is why we need public health officials in Congress.

The thing about using whatever measure of influence you may have to agitate for trans rights is 1) it's free 2) it's the right and moral thing to do 3) perhaps it will help in some small way 4) you get to tell bigots and bullies to eat shit, among one of life's great pleasures. Highly recommend it.

At some point, the media needs to reflect reality: the chance of a sex worker telling the truth is infinitely higher than getting the truth out of anyone at ICE, CBP, or DHS, which is zero.

Today I wrote about the Padres horeseshit Roberto Clemente Award nominee. Baseball has to do fucking better. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
I had missed this when I wrote my Clemente Award nominee post yesterday, but I really cannot believe that reliever Jason Adam is the Padres nominee. The same Jason Adam who along with several teammates refused to wear rainbow caps and sleeve logos on Pride Night while with the Tampa Bay Rays four years ago. And he didn't just refuse. He defaced his official uniform by tearing off the patches. His justification was his religion:

“A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision. So it’s a hard decision. Because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior, just like [Jesus] encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside the confines of marriage. It’s no different.”
As most actual Christians and most people who have actually read and studied the Bible know, there isn't a single sentence in it where Jesus condemns gay people or, to use Adam's words, "encouraged us to live a lifestyle tat would abstain from that behavior." But go on with your bullshit justifications, bro.

As I said at the time that all went down, imagine if someone tore off the American flag patch on Veterans Day because their religion caused them to be opposed to warfare. Or if they tore off a sponsor patch that players wear on their uniform sleeves now because the company in question did things which were offensive to the players' deeply held values. I know exactly what would happen: the player would be roundly condemned and ostracized. They'd be front-page news for weeks or longer and they might very well see their career come to a premature end because people would be outraged.But that doesn't happen when one defaces their uniform on Pride Day. The guy who does that gets nominated for the game's most prestigious humanitarian award. A nomination, according to MLB's writeup, that is premised on his work with a charity which seeks to help "children in crisis." Which makes me wonder if Adam knows just how many gay kids are thrust into crisis because of the exact brand of bigotry and hated he himself has demonstrated in the most public fashion possible. And how much it means to them to see high-profile people like athletes and entertainers and other public figures acknowledge their basic humanity and accept them for who they are. That was too much to ask of the San Diego Padres Clemente Award nominee, however.

This is the second year in a row in which the Clemente Award nominee announcements were infused with anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. Last year Jan Ramos-Eisen noticed that four-time Clemente Award nominee Liam Hendricks' bio was scrubbed of his charitable efforts made in support of the LGBTQ+ community. His 2022, 2023, and 2024 bios all noted that he was a "vocal supporter" or a "staunch ally" of the LGBTQ+ community, but there was no mention of it last year. It was not because Hendricks suddenly abandoned those efforts. It was almost certainly because MLB spent most of 2025 eliminating any and all reference to its diversity initiatives in order to curry favor with the Trump administration. Erasing Hendricks' outreach to the gay community was just part of that.

So good job, everyone. Congrats on turning this whole process into an opportunity to shit on LGBTQ+ persons. That's exactly why we celebrate Roberto Clemente's legacy. He was all about bigotry and excluding. He never thought about the most vulnerable people among us.
