This is a significant story about a highly credible victim who allegedly was raped by Donald Trump. Where is the legacy media? The expanding evidence of his raping not as interesting as Hillary’s emails? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

JUST NOW: A confused, clearly not-there McConnell votes “AYE” after almost voting NO with Dems but getting *corrected* by handlers around him

Speaking of hiding info related to the 287(g) program in Pennsylvania... "A heated Pitcairn council meeting Monday night revealed deep divisions among residents and officials over a police agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which was made without public input or a council vote."

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

My fellow Americans, this is being done in our name. wapo.st/4h1hNmT

Any time any anchor ever asks a Democrat about Hasan Piker, the correct response is “Piker isn’t running for anything. Republicans have a literal candidate supported by Mike Johnson who refers to kids as cum trophies. You’re asking the wrong questions.”

"i will shoot myself in the gut if you do not let me cut off my dick!!!"

When you accept the fascist's frame, you remain in their picture.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Neither Trump nor his wife are in attendance at this year’s ceremony, notwithstanding the AP photo editor’s bullshit.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

They're not going to drop this line of attack just because Talarico uses weasel words. It's only going to increase with Musk's ad spend.

The Mitch McConnell shit is really weird, and I say this as the person the NYT assigned to write three separate obits of Uzbekistan's president as the state covered up his death: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ghost-senate

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

SCOOP: He was one of a handful of Democrats who joined Republicans in May to pass an anti-trans bill through the House. Last night, instead of listening to trans constituents at a meeting that I attended, Eugene Vindman got angry. It went downhill from there. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Did someone tell them a billionaire was close???

“There has been persecution in the form of increased social scrutiny, harassment and violence. And there has been persecution in the undercutting of access to vital, lifesaving gender-affirming medication despite the overwhelming medical consensus for it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-american...

America 2026: The President is being celebrated at an event where an award is given for finding out he's a kidfucker

Americans die in pointless, illegal war while Trump parties. The president got us into this mess, has no answers, costs us lives and billions while living it up with a weekend of parties and golf.

I did not need to wake up to Claire McCaskill on MSNow scolding us all to be "charitable" to Lindsey Graham because he was a "good man." No, he wasn't. He was the fascists' handmaiden.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

The adjudicated rapist is using the DOJ to prosecute his victim while paying off the domestic terrorist sex offenders that attacked the Capitol. #pedocracy

Another disability scholar adding on: The "anti-ai is ableist" argument is built on the objectification of disabled people. Disabled people are treated as a tool so that AI proponents can win an argument and/or profit. The argument also acts as if disabled people are a monolith without any nuance.

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

After Plessy v Ferguson it was 58 years before we got a court willing to overturn it. I don’t think Black people who want to vote and women who want to have rights to their bodies and trans people who want to EXIST should have to wait that long because it offends your sense of propriety.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

This says it all. Discriminates by wrapping it in a partisan blanket. The ideological majority of SCOTUS has turned the clock back, wrapped in a blanket of dishonesty.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

The easiest thing in the world to believe is that Trump keeps triggering violent rage.

RFK Jr. denies saying Black kids on SSRIs "are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get reparented to live in a community where there'll be no cell phones." Says: "I don't even know what that means"

Again: the gun you keep in the home for “protection” increases your risk of homicide by 3-fold, of suicide by 5-fold, and for men, risk of suicide more than 10-fold The second you bring a gun into the home you’ve dramatically increased the risk of death for your family 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Sounds like FDR’s “Brain Trust,” except I’m not sure who his “manosphere shepherd” was and Roosevelt’s Four Sons would not have been able to attend the fights with him during WWII because they were serving in the armed forces.

to be clear, the civilization that will die tonight if Trump tries to annihilate Iran will be that of the United States, the one he has always degraded most relentlessly and most successfully
