Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

To be clear, John Fetterman didn’t “accidentally” call himself a lifelong fascist republican, it didn’t slip out by mistake, he was stating truth, he was a MAGA plant from the very beginning and I can’t wait until Pennsylvania voters toss the disgraceful treasonous fraud out of office.

Paxton won’t agree to debate Talarico, and we all know why. He doesn’t want to answer these questions: “Why did you give an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to an admitted child predator? Why were you impeached… by your own party? Why do you own 15 homes on a government salary?” James Talarico

“Family values” is doing a LOT of unpaid overtime in the Republican Party. Lauren Boebert is running for reelection, and I’m willing to bet Republicans won’t be giving her the Eric Swalwell treatment.

I’ve been saying AI for a few weeks, but now that all of the AI techs are raising the alarm: Yemen. If Bab al-Mandab gets completely out of control, we’re going to see a LOT of bad shit happen. Fertilizer is already hard to come by. Oil prices will skyrocket. Food insecurity is a real possibility.

A Philadelphia nun named Sister Rose Kuhn drives to a Texas immigration court weekly to sit next to unaccompanied children as young as 4 who are facing deportation hearings alone without relatives or an attorney so that they won’t have to face the judge by themselves. Heartbreaking and horrific.

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.
