Ellie, Your Tyrannosaurus Friend

Conditions for the incarcerated women inside LA County's Century Regional Detention Facility haven't improved. Worms are still found in the water. When a commissioner pressed a sergeant about it, they replied, "worms are good for you."

Tommy Tuberville pledged in 2020 to donate his Senate salary to Alabama veterans & families. An investigation found no evidence he did. The pledge is worth roughly $1 million. Asked about it, he had staff remove him, then called the media socialists and communists. www.huffpost.com/entry/tommy-...

Billionaire living in a castle calls minority group she is paying hundreds of thousands of pounds of her own money to legislate out of existence ‘elitist’

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

“Our investigation of a remote atoll in the area where Earhart’s plane vanished in 1937 has led us to believe she ended up assimilating into a colony of coconut crabs who welcomed her with open claws.” — Sheryl Thompkins, researcher

"Mario" gets up at 4am to harvest #Halloween pumpkins. "It's our busy season with large orders. We start early and work late. Living in this area costs a lot. Not only do we worry about meeting expenses, but now we worry about immigration who stops anyone who's brown." #WeFeedYou

please lose

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

NEW: A Palestine book by Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari has been pulled from Penguin Random House just before its release. As a result of the dispute, a long-running series of nonfiction books by marginalized folks on the histories of their peoples is also ending at Penguin Alana + Jenan speak out:

NEW @citizenlab.ca report We uncovered an Israeli firm using online ads to run vast spy operation This is the first-ever public confirmation of zero-click mercenary spyware delivered via targeted ads. 45 devices at @aljazeera.com confirmed infected citizenlab.ca/research/how...

I'm barely half-way through and it's already astonishing. The implications are severe. And I didn't even need to be told that it was an Israeli firm because it's often an Israeli firm

Trans people saying they are focusing on their own issues because they don't trust Democrats to protect them can only be convinced by successfully assuring them their backs are being watched. You can't bully someone into trusting you, and the attempt will only make the distrust worse.

Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:

The fact that the #2 bluest of the blue cohorts is the group raising the alarm here should have you treating this like an unprecedented and urgent situation. Work through your 2016 primaries flashbacks on your own time and come back when you're able to understand this is categorically unlike that.

Trans people have historically been more reliable at voting Democrat than *white Democrats* This isn't the usual suspects who don't think voting matters. This is reliable loyalists. This isn't Greens being a spoiler, this is literally on par with if Black people lost faith in the Democratic party.

Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

Request: add "avoid surveillance" to directions options.

Hoo boy— Trump’s new Secretary of lying may not make briefing #2 @seanhannity (!!) gets Katie Zacharia to admit she isn’t an attorney, never passed the bar… she thought she could call herself a “lawyer” not an “attorney” (but has been doing both) A circus 🎪 (H/T @Acyn)

It was never extreme for trans people to want to be treated like human beings in whatever spaces we entered. It did not go too far, and no amount of historical revisionism will make the simple request for equal access to safety in public spaces unreasonable.

For my newsletter, I wrote about an HHS demand from RFK Jr to all the American medical associations demanding they clarify their stances on youth gender affirming care. It's the latest example of the Trump admin using their bully pulpit to target trans kids: www.burnsnotice.com/rfk-jr-deman...

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

We’ll be right back.

Doesn’t get more fascist than this. They’re doing this to Ilhan because they think her being Black, Muslim, African, Somali makes her an easier target and sadly her own colleagues in her own party have given them ammunition to believe that. She deserves the strongest collective defense.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

"In February 2024, Blanche & his partner Emil Bove — now Judge Bove — insisted that 'a fair trial cannot be conducted this year.' And yet, 22 days before the midterms, with early voting already underway in MN, Blanche’s DOJ searched a candidate’s home over paperwork a dead man filed 3 decades ago."

Last night, at one of his rallies, Trump egged on 4 men who beat the shit out of a woman as she hurt his feelings. THIS is the face of #MAGA The mask is fully off.

The Original Sin of politics was the invention of the passive voice, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Vague Unaccountability. Wild how all those violent ICE agents just … got hired … and deployed … somehow. Who can possibly say how? It’s all a mystery.

Democrats need this energy.

Is this an abuse of power and just plan bullying? A normal day at the Telegraph…?

Janet Murray has now made 4 posts specifically about this individual in the last 24 hours. This is a journalist using her platform gained from working for national press organisations to harass a random person, purely because she can’t handle the fact that trans people exist. It’s sick.

Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.

The Twitter experience is clicking a post about puppies and finding, three replies in, a boosted screed about how Black people need to be rounded up and imprisoned for "our" safety, a comment deemed to not violate any rules regarding hate or violence "Cis male" will still get your post auto-hidden.
