This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...
NEW: Exxon signed up 100K+ stock owners to automatically vote however the company’s board recommends.
Now Trump’s SEC has cleared Tesla and GoldmanSachs to do the same, and signaled any other company can too.

AI as a tool for accelerating the core functions of IP law; extract from Black culture with impunity and randomly terrorize Black artists who find success, while soothing, reassuring and rewarding white mediocrity
Arienne Childrey resigns as Vice Chair of the Ohio Democratic Pride Caucus.
The state party has censored all attempts to criticize Amy Acton and Marcy Kaptur for their anti-trans votes and/or statements.
Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus.
The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy.

"A growing mountain of evidence points to American interference in both the Brazilian election & the Alberta referendum. It looks like they are injecting themselves into the Quebec election, as well. We need to send the Americans a clear message that we will NOT be manipulated"

I would conservatively estimate that 80% of environmentalist event flyers here as well as other progressive stuff in similar circles are made with AI, and it is absolutely infuriating.
The amount of constant AI resistance liberals are consuming and either consciously or unconsciously sharing is truly alarming. Graphics, memes, "writing," "songs"
I don't pay that much attention but every time I check in it is just a ceaseless flood of brainrot and I think it's...a pretty big issue
Incredible how the editors at @nytimes.com still don't understand how embarrassing it is to do this, and how it undermines the credibility of the paper and its journalists. It's like a toddler covering their face to play hide and seek. We see you but it's not cute, you look like an asshole.
There are new and specific numbers in this story, so it’s worth reading. I continue to resent the lack of credit to Nick Schwellenbach at @pogo.org, Dan Friedman at @motherjones.com, and me, who have previously reported every other aspect of this story, including that the sale prices were very high.

Migrant children as young as 2 are showing up at immigration courts nationwide, many without attorneys, to make their case to stay in the US and avoid deportation. https://cnn.it/4huSk5M
The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved.
This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.
THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.
Yet another Democrat has released an ad decrying "boys in girls sports."
This Democrat is NY-21's Democratic candidate for congress, Blake Gendebien.
You can watch his full ad in our latest story.
He joins several other Democrats releasing similar ads this cycle.
I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.
The Democrat here, Blake Gendebien, is facing off against Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino. Constantino is literally running on "detransitioning America" and generally just hating trans people.
Gendebien could've called Constantino out for being insane.
Instead, he chose bigotry.
Shame.

One thing that encourages me is that despite individual Democrats capitulating on trans rights, I think if the polling holds, we will elect the most pro-trans congress and senate in US history.
Hey New Yorkers. Like many I have been freaking out about the new Medicaid work requirements, expecting to lose coverage. However, I have discovered the situation is not as dire as it seemed. **You only need to have work/volunteering on the record the month before renewal, not every month.**
its odd that the political media hounds dems to constantly comment on every random statement hasan piker makes but don't do the same for Republicans of the top GOP megadonor two cycles in a row
When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points.
Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race.
Would be a shame if people found out.
A couple went on a Fox News podcast and claimed the state of #Massachusetts took away their teen because they won't help the teen transition. But it's actually because the father was charged with beating and threatening to kill the teen and the mother was charged with witness intimidation.
The billions of dollars we send to a foreign military to drop bombs on somebody else should have been spent to build schools, housing, and to provide healthcare HERE.
Completely insane decision. Even if you're afraid of Paramount somehow retaliating, drag it out for another 45 days, because the whole world is going to change come November 3.
ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport.
She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury.
It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players.
They have failed.
according to the article, it took hours after the personal intervention of the mayor for his family to even get basic information about him. that information included that he had been transferred to ICE custody hours after being shot.
no amnesty
The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is).
It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?
Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!
This is a good reminder that the Catholic church in the US has imposed a trans health care ban so severe that no elected Republican has been willing to even suggest making a similar law.
The Pope has acquiesced to this ban.
yall, ICE shot *someone else* in austin, TX today. the guy in question is still alive but has serious wounds do not let this go silent or ignored.
people already stopped talking about lorenzo araujo's murder, do not forget what ICE is doing as it murders and assaults innocent people
Exxon is now expecting a 2.5 - 3C rise by 2050
But says f*ck you - we are just going to keep right on sucking up as much gas and oil as we can
Because even though we know what's coming, we really don't give a sh*t

This video was filmed in Palestine.
My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.
So in addition to being a former clerk to SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis’ lobbying clients include Hewlett Packard and Walmart. Have the CEOs of those companies been asked to “disavow” and “sever their relationships” with Mike Davis?? He is a grotesque racist.

There has been a noticeable lack of serious reaction over Turkish persecution of LGBTQIA+ community from the global community. As in many other countries, Türkiye tries to mask persecution by claiming being LGBTQIA+ isn't illegal and then using "obscenity laws".

Holy shit.
Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined.
"I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports."
This is getting out of control.
🚨 NEW: Hakeem Jeffries created a five-member commission to help write House Democrats’ AI policy agenda.
Among its members: lawmakers backed by major AI political groups and Silicon Valley donors seeking to shape those very rules.
All it took was one person to confront Rob Sand at his town hall for his anti-trans statements.
There are 26 Democrats that have taken bad votes or made bad statements towards transgender people.
Those who disagreed with my article said to talk to the dems instead.
So, we are.
Go do it!
Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions.
A constituent asked if he would walk them back.
He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans.
Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background.

So yes, I'm harsh on Dems that throw sports under the bus and call trans girls "boys."
I know where this leads.
And in fact, the attack ads over trans issues have only ramped up after these candidates have floundered.
The sad thing is, its only going to get worse. This is what these dems are saying before the ad spend cranks up. Just wait until the debates, the ads, the consultants sweep in.
Buckle up everyone.
ok but "the future" they are promising is "we destroy your jobs and maybe build a dark god of genocide" so perhaps winning these people back is not the wisest electoral move
Opinion | Democrats have lost Silicon Valley. Here's what it will take to win it back
If Democrats want to become the party of the future again, they need to stop treating the people building the future like political enemies.
