Shortly thereafter, she says, her higher-ups gave her an ultimatum: Do your job the way we want you to do it, without the chair or without the breaks, or go on unpaid leave.

Have you filled a city kermit for this protest?

Queerphobes stigmatized queer people, often based on strongly-held religious beliefs. In a pluralist democracy the courts should never side with one religion over another or use court decisions to persecute and oppress based on one group's religious preference.

war, war never changes.

Only generally aware of Nigel Farage, it’s been shocking to me in the week I’ve been reading UK papers daily how *precisely* Tory & Reform rhetoric echo Trumpism, particularly the full conquest of GOP by MAGA circa 2017-18. Reminder yet again that this fascism is global.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

In the heart of the supposed war zone.

We are in a time where the military and legislature will either find Trump unfit and expel him, or obey him and expel democracy.

Also hearing rumors that RFK, Jr has authorized the surreptitious introduction of fluoride into Portland's water supply so as to pacify and bring down the IQs of the people who live there. A real "all of government" approach being taken to this siege of Portland.

Heading in the direction of Nazi Germany after Hitler took power 30 January 1933 and put his political,opponents in concentration camps. But instead of having historians reconstruct events in retrospective, it‘s on live television.

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump.

It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

I have no issues with people who use Grindr. I do have issues with hypocrites.

Well Grindr did crash in Glendale...

would anyone like my recommendations of gay romance books i really liked. i have a bunch up my sleeve now, they are pretty much all fairly raunchy historical fiction

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

Oh that would be perfect.

She deserves to have much worse but not something that is a federal crime. Like she deserves to have bone cancer or a fistula or cluster headaches all without access to health care.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away
