"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

An apparent ICE-related shooting in Maine is a good time to remember to treat the agency's initial claims with skepticism rather than credulity.

nothing is more embarrassing than people who talk about their IQ all the time, man. like I know they're just a bunch of white supremacist eugenics nitwits but it is actively embarrassing to be over the age of like 13 and to still think an IQ # is your most impressive accomplishment

Vanilla Ice steps up to the mike as the only performer left for America 250. He does a 90 minute set that’s just him yelling “get it? ICE?” In between rounds of Ice, Ice Baby

we had a guest homilist at Mass from an org that works with immigrants who says he gets challenged sometimes about using Americans' resources to help non-citizens. his response is always "we don't help them because they're Americans, we help them because WE are Americans," and that really got me

Did these cops learn nothing from the Afroman case? Or are they just assuming the richer/more famous folks will settle?

I had a boss who would read only the first chapter of all of these books. He was obsessed with efficiency but also kept his business records in a storage facility that he failed to pay rent on, so they were auctioned off. Seems fitting for genAI to write like him.

If you have rage and $25 can I recommend giving to a reproductive justice fund near you? If you don't know how to find one, can I recommend giving it to @yellowfund.bsky.social? action.yellowhammerfund.org/VJwyf79UF0yW...

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

on balance, I would rather social media had not achieved a ubiquity that has destroyed, perhaps permanently, the social contract and the very fabric of human connection, but otoh it’s fun that there are astronauts up in space right now who have almost certainly seen the “moon’s haunted” tweet

Who among us has not had at least one chaotic eyebrow experience? When I was a kid I tried to trim them and ended up with a checkerboard look. Later, a hairdresser who was razoring the bangs of my pixie cut (it was the 90s) shaved off half of one eyebrow days before my senior prom. Oops!

This story is blowing my mind. In 2004, my grandfather walked around Orange County wearing a t-shirt that said “save the enviroment, plant a Bush back in TX.” He…did not find much sympathy.

All the traits that you have been taught to value and look for in special individuals - courage, intelligence, strength - are actually collective traits. There is no genius or hero coming to save us from our problems. We solve them together or not at all. Socialism or barbarism.

My sister told me that someone we know said ”well I heard his father…” and she immediately cut her off. There is no justification. How could you look at his sweet face and pretend this is ok???

I’ve been thinking about this little one all day. How excited he must have been to get that hat. How someone helped him find a backpack he’d like. All the tiny markers of care and gentleness that mean nothing to these men, who stole him and scared him and used him as bait and incarcerated him

…it should break your heart to kill.
Sadiq
by Brian Turner

It should make you shake and sweat, nightmare you, strand you in a desert of irrevocable desolation, the consequences seared into the vein, no matter what adrenaline feeds the muscle its courage, no matter what god shines down on you, no matter what crackling pain and anger you carry in your fists, my friend, it should break your heart to kill.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? Maybe they’ll distract the kidnappers long enough for me to get away?

You are not bold and interesting for thinking not all genre romance books should have a happy ending. You are a person with an (extremely trite, at this point) opinion who should read genres of books that are not romance.

I got to “honored to be your ancestor” and started sobbing. I don’t even know what to say. It’s cliche to say that someone was a light, but Alice was, in both the sense of being a warm glow to find your way home and bright sun to burn the fuck out of the unwary. I hope we can honor her legacy.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

You can't live your life based on hate - that way lies madness and bitterness - but allowing yourself to slip into hater mode from time to time is a lovely little treat, like a drunk cigarette or a decadent slice of cake
