I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

5 Calls can help you make the call:

There is a deliberate project to make people only remember mitigation measures from 2020.

What actually happened is totally unmentionable. It never gets discussed.

a man in captain america 's uniform says i understood that reference Alt: Captain America says “I understood that reference!”

Watching Uncle Vanya for the first time:

*gun mentioned*

Me: Oh my god, it’s happening!

*gun shot several acts later*

Me: *aggressively elbowing the person next to me* That’s from the meme!

And in the darkness bind them.

I stand corrected — FIVE !!!

We have FIVE Latinas nominated for a Bram Stoker Award 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

Oh wait. I just realized that this is Emil Michael who apparently is "undersecretary of war." He was the exec who was drummed out of Uber after a bunch of really sketchy scandals.

And to be clear, everyone was very aware that this was illegal, but Trump officials and DOGE didi it anyway. Multiple IRS acting commissioners were removed when they raised concerns. Pretty much the entire C-suite resigned. From last year: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/this-tax-d...

We are living through a period where we have mass government layoffs literally causing countless deaths while at the same time DHS has so much money that Noem will have a different luxury jet for every day of the week

Glad she is released and grateful for the Mayor’s efforts but I can’t stress enough THIS IS NOT HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO WORK

And the reason for that, to be clear, is that Nazis have very intentionally co-opted it as such.

They literally name their terror orgs using it

Despite the troubles and horrors, we're also living in the most meet-cute buddy movie ever.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

All I want from my government representatives is for them to hold the line. That's it. I don't care if they don't have the votes. They have platforms. I can't get a 10-minute spot on a cable news program. They can. And they should use those platforms to shine a beacon on fascism and corruption.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

Erin's reporting is, as always, impeccable.

What many may not know, however, is that once a license is issued, the holder has a property interest in that license that is protected by the 14th Amendment.

This goes back to Bell v Burson (1972).

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Gotta tip your cap to @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social for scooping everyone on this.

This is, we can tell from the coding of the case files, the woman who also told the FBI that Epstein introduced her to Trump around the same time and that Trump sexually assaulted her. Trump denies any wrongdoing with respect to Epstein and says he’s been totally exonerated.

This is the FBI 302 in which a woman recounts her accusation that Epstein lulled her with the promise of a babysitting job only to drug and rape her. She says he tried to get her to recruit other girls her age. (She was 13 or 14).

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

ROFLMFAO

At least wipe your nose on it or something. Please! You can just fart on it, that’s fine too.

Banquo’s Ghost is one role for Epstein that I can get behind at this point.

Fun fact, the state of the union is not constitutionally mandated in this form! It can be written, and was for most of the nation’s history!

Do not invite him back to deliver a SoTU again. This can be an email.
