They are pulling the 60 Minutes article about CECOT off of YouTube, but you can still find it HERE:

I keep trying to remind myself that all of this - banning healthcare for Trans kids, renaming the Kennedy Center, the delusional rant last night - is at least in-part an attempt to "flood the zone" for the Epstein files (legally, they have to be released tomorrow), but wow.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

The broken toppled body of lady liberty with a broken neck in Brazil.

A Statue of Liberty replica in Brazil fell due to a bad storm. Did you know a metaphor can walk up and punch you in the face.

Somewhere on the internet I saw someone say that Vessel from Sleep Token and Hozier are fae from different courts, and clearly yes.

That makes sense about the county as a whole - is that what is considered? Or when they break up a county like that, do they look at how they specifically targeted precincts with more Black and Hispanic folks?

I am looking forward to seeing the precinct-level analysis to see where things stand - I think they really underestimate how many people really hate Spartz and Shrive, and how hard it will be for rural reps to campaign in Indy.

Hey, would it be considered both racial and political gerrymandering if folks who live at 38th and Post are in the same congressional district as white rural farmers an hour and a half away? Because that's preeeety blatant, even for this administration.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

police dressed as military in front of a police tank

police dressed in camo like soldiers like total knobs

cops dressed head to toe in camo like full kit wankers

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

there are “bad” numbers and then there are “take a hammer to the system to be sure no one ever sees these” numbers

This man is out here doing the Lord's work for us big-legged women.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

I'm pretty sure this is me moving from a liberal to a leftist.

BURN THE WHOLE THING DOWN.

Less than 36 hours ago, you wanted to people people from going bankrupt. Now you are going to sell them out. This plan is shameful.

You learned nothing from last week's election.

Trump goes to court to starve kids should be a headline everywhere today

Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

The pastor's son at Beckwith's church was just arrested for child sexual abuse. That pastor is a good friend of Beckwith and it wasn't the first accusation.

His church probably shouldn't be tasked with outreach to vulnerable communities right now.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Not to dunk on People, since they seem to be meeting the moment better than most, but PEOPLE MAGAZINE is doing more actual reporting than most major media outlets.

Indiana is calling a special session for illegal mid-cycle redistricting. 40% of Hoosiers are Dems but we've been gerrymandered into only have 2/9 Congressional reps, but apparently Mike Braun thinks we shouldn't have any.

I hope Spartz, Baird, and Shreve are terrified.

I love the Portland protests so much!!

I don't think people really appreciate how much of an insult is when Midwesterners deny you food. Chicago restaurants locking their doors on you? I cannot think of a bigger regional f-you.

"In the likely absence of federal wraparound services for students with disabilities, Wright-Gallo recommended that parents and advocates start paying more attention to support systems at the local and state level."

(where there have already been huge funding cuts because "DEI")

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I appreciate my family's ancestral homeland (Chicago's Southside Irish neighborhoods) approach of basically, "fuck you, you fuckin' fuck," but there is something to be said for Portland and their joyful absurdism. Tea parties. Inflatable costume raves. Clowns. Fishing with donuts. Perfection.
