Adoption exists to solve adults’ problems and to make adults’ wishes come true. The welfare of children is merely incidental; their rights are never protected. 🥚

At least 600 clergy came to MPLS in the freezing temps, dropping everything from their overwhelming jobs including like 100 rabbis to be there in solidarity. The Bible commands us to care for im/migrants at least 36 times, more than any other commandment. "Thou shalt not murder" is also a thing.

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included. For goodness’ sake, Bill Kristol is in favor of it. Can you really not get there? trib.al/I2YUL7P

Anyway, the mere existence of ICE (and of borders) is a human rights violation. People are meant to move around the world freely, and any restriction of that movement is immoral.

Rape is the core of the MAGA ideology, the metaphor of dominance and degradation that motivates all their actions, and their rhetoric descends very quickly from the symbolic register down into a literal one.

The #NYE2026 video wall operator in Times Square NYC managed to do the funniest thing ever to the “America250.org” video that ran after the ball drop: THEY REDACTED THE QUOTE ENGRAVED ON THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL, blacking out the word “saved” in the phrase “saved the Union”!!! 🇺🇸🫡 Could not make it up!

A screenshot from CNN’s New Year’s Eve 2026 coverage taken at 12:04 am ET is showing a video produced by “America250.org” in which, due to sections of the video board not operating correctly, it appears that the quote inscribed on the wall of the Lincoln Memorial is redacted, with a black bar over the word “saved.”

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

The SNAP fight is actually a recapitulation of the entire purpose of the shutdown. There's a contingency fund, Trump is required to spend it, but he's not, usurping Congress's power of the purse, essentially so he can do it again with normal appropriations whenever he wants

Given Mr. Trump’s documented propensity to produce spectacular distractions from his true power moves, his surprise demolition of the entirety of the East Wing should be informed by the original purpose of the Wing’s construction: to hide construction of the Presidential Bunker🇺🇸

Image is a screenshot from Wikipedia on October 23, 2025 with the text, “The two-story East Wing was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC).”

How did Portland and Minneapolis start getting people to cycle more? Simple! They utilized modal filters and created neighborhood greenways. Not only prioritizing pedestrians and bikes but also reducing rat running on side streets. More cities need modal filters!
