You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.

Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

with everything that is going on it unfortunately needs repeating that fascism is to be opposed at all costs. it is to be stamped out in every crevice and shadow it lurks in.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

This gets at something that I haven’t really been able, or willing, to articulate about all the talk about due process: Let’s say we gave all the due process in the world to someone and found that he was a member of a gang. Should we even then send him to a gulag known for its human rights abuses?

"These are kids who will never pay taxes," Kennedy declared. "They'll never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted. We have to recognize we are doing this to our children."

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true.

But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

Dimethyl sulfide has been found in comets and in molecular clouds in the interstellar medium.

Its presence is not itself a bio-signature.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Five consecutive US presidents and administrations bombed Yemen (GW Bush, Obama, Trump I, Biden, and Trump II). What did any of them achieve?

If there was real accountability in US policymaking, that would be an even bigger scandal than this one about the group Signal chat.

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

These men were not just deported, they've been incarcerated without trial in a brutalist megaprison.

What is the plan for them now? Are they awaiting trial? Where? Are they facing sentences? How long?

19. I cannot overstate how distressing this entire experience has been. The past week
has been the worst of my life, and I find myself without my single greatest source of support, in my time of greatest need.
20. I am currently in my thirty-third week of pregnancy, and I am due to give birth to
Mahmoud and I's first child on April 28th, 2025. We are expecting a son. The thought that Mahmoud may miss the birth of our son is devastating.
21. I am not exaggerating when I say that I would not have been able to get through my
pregnancy without Mahmoud. At this stage of my pregnancy, I have biweekly appointments with my doctor scheduled. In just three weeks, those appointments will increase in frequency, becoming weekly appointments. Prior to his detention, Mahmoud attended almost every doctor's appointment with me. He cooks every meal for us, he cleans the house, he does our laundry and takes care of every need that we have as a household.
22. Mahmoud has been invaluable to me in helping me cope with the physical and
mental impact of my pregnancy. Early on in my pregnancy, my doctor found indication that I might require a regimen to preempt preeclampsia, a very serious condition that can cause major complications for a pregnant person and their baby. I was prescribed two baby aspirin per day, and I am still supposed to be taking that medication. I forget to take medication, and Mahmoud reminded me to take the medication every night, getting it for me before bed. Since the agents took him away, I haven't been able to sleep well or focus and am afraid that I have forgotten to take that medication.
23. Just last month, on February 2, 2025, I had to be admitted to the hospital because I
had not felt our baby in my stomach for a full day. I spent approximately four hours at the hospital,
and Mahmoud supported me through the distress of being unable to feel our baby's movement in (page ends here)

Keeping With Kennedy’s Advice, Measles Patients Turn to Unproven Treatments In West Texas, some with severe illness have not been taken to a doctor until their conditions worsened, officials said.

Doctors at Seminole Memorial Hospital, in Gaines County, noticed a sudden and ominous drop in the number of measles patients coming in, with those showing up being much sicker than before. They blame it on a quack doctor nearby who records anti-vax podcasts and gives out cod liver and vitamin A

I don't really think many are hoping that he'll explicitly say "AOC is my successor" but want him to give more of a general image that he's not the only one leading this movement. Such as doing town halls with other progressives or giving a tiara etc

The logic is bc he has built the largest left-leaning movement in this country and he is no longer even suitable to be president due to his age. So when the time comes when he is gone, there needs to be a smooth transition to a new successor in order for that flame/momentum to not die out.

Opinion | Governor Newsom’s Depraved MAGA Betrayal Mandates Mass Resistance From LGBTQ+ Californians Newsom’s capricious rhetoric attacking LGBTQ+ Californians will be met by massive protest and resistance from within his state, and activists must mobilize to end his political future.

1. OPINION: Governor Newsom’s Depraved MAGA Betrayal Mandates Mass Resistance From LGBTQ+ Californians.

Newsom's transphobic rhetoric in his interview with Charlie Kirk is an attack on Californian democracy that must be met with resistance from LGBTQ people.
