You’ve all been very good this week, please have a crab.

Lindsey Graham said, 'We're killing all the right people' referring to Republican Party Social media users expressed outrage over Graham's remarks at a Republican Jewish Coalition summit amid Israel's war in Gaza.

One thing that’s probably getting overlooked here is: these folks are serious about this stuff.

Tweet from Jordan Weissmann: “Asked for an example of a group that had funded a violent protest, Trump named ActBlue and Indivisible, which I think pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the goals here.” Below is a screenshot of an article excerpt detailing that neither George Soros nor Open Society Foundations fund protests, and noting that the White House named liberal groups like ActBlue and Indivisible in relation to violent incidents.

Do you see where this is headed?

When you raise Jim Crow as an authoritarian system all the caveats come flying about

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Responding to Polanski’s speech, a Labour spokesperson said: “It is no surprise that Zack Polanski, a man who said he wanted to learn from Nigel Farage, has done so in his speech today – using his platform to sow division and grievance.

When Labour says @zackpolanski.bsky.social is "using his platform to sow division and grievance", what they mean is that he's using it to push for justice and equality.

They *hate* when people do that.

It's a bloody good speech. No wonder they're freaking out.

The Free Speech Crisis for Black Americans Is Worse Than You Think Don’t let Jimmy Kimmel’s return fool you: Black academics are more frightened of talking to the press than I’ve ever seen.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired

Vivian Wilson talks about how accessing gender affirming care as a teen was lifesaving at the Teen Vogue Summit.

Trans People and Sports: Everything You Need to Know I have been writing about transgender people and issues for over twenty years now. For most of that time, I never felt the need to pen a…

...dear Dem politicians & pundits, 1) the sports debate was never a serious issue, it was merely a wedge to launder in anti-trans policies (see: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...), 2) they are now going after trans ppl's *rights to exist* – that's where the battle is now! take a side in that!

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

anyways, great news! (1/X)

Unpopular (?) opinion: it’s still bad to post or amplify things that aren’t true

Check your facts and sources, folks

Important reminder for anyone who thinks you can feed photos of Trump through AI filters and believe you’re getting a more accurate picture of reality.

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.”

Listen to the survivors.

putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.

Historian suggests fighting a wildfire with a back burn.

We had actual an actual assassination of a Democratic legislator in Minnesota two months ago & it’s completely disappeared from the National Conversation™️. This happens <all> the time over & over again 👇

It is so wild to me that we had a terrorist attack on the CDC and it just blended into the rest of the political violence.

🔔 HASSETT ADMITS THE NUMBERS ARE RIGHT: “The jobs numbers were slower than expected… one of the explanations is they have more complete data… it is likely the revisions are a better read…”

So why exactly did Trump fire the commissioner again? 🤔

If you’re not white, or you have friends or loved ones who aren’t white, or you’re not a total sociopath and therefore care about fellow humans who aren’t white, you need to understand this regime thinks not being white is inherently suspect, and lots of your fellow Americans are fine with that.

From the 1970s into the 2010s, a statement like this would not have coded as particularly partisan or leftist. The fact that virtually no Republican public figure could have said this today is a sign of how much that party has radicalized away from what used to be the center of US politics.

I’m not saying that the BBC issuing an apology to “the Jewish community” for Bob Vylan’s anti-IDF Glastonbury chant is ridiculous, I’m just saying it’s basically the same as if an act had chanted “death to nonces” and they apologised to all Catholics for any offence caused.

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
