Costco Gives Misogynists a Win by Not Selling Abortion Medication Transcript: You may have recently heard some news about Costco and the abortion medication mifepristone. Today I want to address some misinformation about that, AND some misinformation ABOUT the mi…

Costco announced they will not stock mifepristone in their pharmacies. Contrary to viral social media posts, this IS a big deal and it DOES mean that they caved to pressure from far-right MAGA anti-woman conservatives. Here I go over the evidence and what you can do skepchick.org/2025/08/cost...

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!

no i don't think they're written by Patterson but, fwiw, they're always filed under Patterson (within the library systems and bookstores i've worked in). they're also advertised as being a Patterson release.

he should keep it up so in 4 years when he runs no one can claim that he's changed or whatever other redemption BS his PR agency will try to push.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

Lawyers for detained Columbia student ask for his release on bail A Columbia University student detained over his pro-Palestinian activism is not a flight risk and should be allowed to return home for the birth of his first child, his lawyers argued in a motion for bail on Saturday.

This guy was kidnapped without charges & still not charged with a crime.

A green card holder with citizen rights & his wife a US citizen about to give birth to their first child.

Meanwhile, Trump is getting his criminal buddies out of prison with pardons & flying over sex traffickers & rapists.

Rubio Says South Africa’s Ambassador 'Is No Longer Welcome' In The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called South Africa’s ambassador Ebrahim Rasool a “race-baiting politician” after Rasool spoke out against Elon Musk.

Every Democrat, including Warren and Sanders, voted to confirm this man.

Bringing this back too.

Frieda McFadden is starting to release really frequently as well but i'd say she's closer to every 8 weeks.

i'm not sure if this is who they're referring to, but James Patterson releases about that often. he averages 3 books on the hardcover NYT bestseller top 20 at any given time.

I’m giving up for Lent.

i'm partially convinced he thinks real life is one of his reality shows.

The Voting Trickery That Elected Trump In his latest report, Greg Palast proved that Jim Crow tactics cost Vice President Harris 3.65 million votes, four states—and the presidency. Last week, Thom Hartmann hosted Palast for a conversation ...

Even negating the possibility of interference with the vote counting, according to Greg Palast, the vast numbers of people purged from the voter rolls would have changed electoral counts in four states.

i'm incredibly introverted and have to hoard all my spare energy for my job. i'm really good at masking, thankfully. but i nearly shut down once i'm home and need time to recover and plan outings far in advance.

Designating English as the official language of the United States is racist as fuck.

Was giving a presentation on the material harms of AI. Got 45min in before someone interrupted demanding to be told they could still use it. We just listened to an Ethiopian woman talk about the vile content she saw while data training, and this person just did not care. That dismissal is common.

thank you for your dedication

As of 3Q 2024, the top 0.1% of wealthiest U.S. households own $22.13 trillion of total wealth.

Who’s running this country: Donald Trump or Elon Musk? Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself. The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.

Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

The Nazis dumped people into other countries too.

And then when they couldn't get enough of them out, they built concentration camps.

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences.

See inside DOGE’s playbook for eliminating DEI Documents detail step-by-step plans by the U.S. DOGE Service to purge federal agencies of diversity, equity, and inclusion workers and offices. Here’s what comes next.

Washington Post got their hands on internal documents from DOGE showing the entire plan to implement resegregation. They're going to purge minorities from government by calling them DEI.

The reason the Dems don't do much to stop the right is because they are also on the right, or in the center, at best.

Again, if you are defending Israel, demanding I condemn Hamas, asking bad faith questions about a hypothetical genocide of Israelis whilst Palestinians are being LITERALLY AND ACTUALLY genocided right now, or pinkwashing genocide, I WILL block you.

Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.
