it's not hard people trans rights or no rights like ideally you should stand up because trans people are people?? and are humans who are your constituents but if not that then certainly the slippery slope is an argument here you fucking morons

The order of science:

1.) Discover there’s a deadly problem
2.) Work for years to solve it
3.) The problem may not be gone forever, but we’ve won
4.) People forget the deadly problem actually existed
5.) People decide this must mean the science to solve it was a hoax
6.) The deadly problem returns

I just watched the first 40 minutes of the PBS show, Atomic People, about those who survived the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's full of horrific images and stomach-churning witness testimony and everyone should probably watch it.

I need to get to bed, but I'll finish it tomorrow, Aug. 6.

Hello, I am from Gaza. ❤️‍🩹We are under bombardment every day. The sound of bombs never leaves us, 😭and the sound of children crying from hunger is more difficult for us than the sound of bombs😢. Please help us find something to silence our children.💔💔

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

YouTube video by MSNBC 'Don’t separate families': Soboroff speaks with father of Marines, detained by ICE | MSNBC EXCLUSIVE

EXCLUSIVE EXTENDED INTERVIEW: “I see my reflection in their pain, because it’s my own,” Narciso Barranco, the father of three Marines violently detained while landscaping, told me about the men he met in ICE detention for my first assignment as MSNBC senior national and political correspondent.

There’s no way to soften this: we are suffering. Gaza is bleeding. We don’t need sympathy we need action. I’m asking with all I have left please help my family survive. Speak up. Give. Be the voice we’ve lost.💔please help me.

A thread of photographs from today's "Families Stand Up for Gaza" protest organized by @socialists.nyc, @jvp.bsky.social, and many other groups.

A Palestinian mother weeps while speaking to the crowd. The big "SHAME" heads on the displays behind her featured Schumer, Jeffries, and Gillibrand.

Man who pardoned a convicted murderer because he liked who was killed makes illegal order backed by no law to arrest elected officials for a crime that doesn’t exist. You know, because they are the law and order party.

Release the Epstein files.

Giuffre's statement read at Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing. Maxwell is a fucking MONSTER. She is definitely a pedophile and enjoyed sexually torturing girls as young as 12. She is a disgusting predator who cannot be rehabilitated and there is no doubt she will rape again. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Right-wingers are so insecure and covetousness that after they gathered public goods, land, economy and education for themselves they wanted the one thing we had: the story of oppression.

They want this more than anything else b/c of the powerful narrative & culture we created from it.

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Finally, a united nation.

'Rock' bottom: Pirates' absurd loss to Rockies, Ben Cherington's comical trade deadline spin plunge team to new depths Sharky’s Café was still stuffed with Pittsburgh Steelers fans long after the team’s Friday night practice had ended at Latrobe Memorial Stadium. There were T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and ...

Years ago, a #Pirates' loss like Friday's would’ve resulted in expletives, rage and beer bottles being thrown at the screens.

Now, fans are beyond disappointment, apathy and scorn over the organization’s repeated failure. They are onto a sardonic, macabre fascination with how low it can go.

Aug. 4, 1964 | Missing Civil Rights Workers Found Dead in Mississippi Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1964, the bodies of three missing civil rights workers—James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner—were found in Longdale, Mississippi, shot and buried in a shallow grave.

Gov. Greg Abbott threatens Texas House Democrats with removal from office for fleeing state The governor also alleged absconding Democrats may have committed felonies by fundraising to cover the $500-a-day fines they will face under House rules.

Buried in this story is Abbott's threat to charge citizens who donate to their Democratic legislators with criminal bribery.

www.texastribune.org/2025/08/03/t...

Since the Texas Constitution does not allow the governor to remove legislators from office, doing so amounts to a self-coup and the resulting illegal government would not be legitimate. This is a crisis that will spiral.

A Teen Was Detained at Alligator Alcatraz. Could They Be the First of Many? It comes after weeks of uncertainty around how minors would fit into Florida's immigration crackdown.

new @teenvogue.com: Florida officials claimed they wouldn't hold minors in mosquito- and sewage-ridden Alligator Alcatraz, but a bombshell report in July found a 15-year-old was detained there in July. young people in Florida are afraid.

I hope @johnrogers.bsky.social watched Last Week Tonight. The main story is a look at one of his favorite subjects -- corporate crime.

BREAKING: Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 79 Palestinians, including 41 aid seekers, since the early hours of this morning, medical sources told Al Jazeera.

This is the key to understanding our very, very broken economy.

I’m a guy, and I need feminism. Not “men’s rights”. Feminism. Here is why. Everything that MRAs talk about that men can’t do or are socially punished for arise directly and immediately from misogyny. Not “misandry.” Misogyny. Whether I am expressing my emotions, playing with children, baking, having sex wherein I am penetrated in any way, wearing the wrong color, talking the wrong way, moving the wrong way, being sexually harassed/assaulted, or paying too little attention to looking like I’m not paying attention to how I look, when society punishes me or derides me or marginalizes me for these things, it is happening because they are things women, not men, are expected to do, and our society at large fucking hates women. Has that sunk in yet? Men, can you even think of a single goddamned way you have ever been mocked that wasn’t related to something that a misogynist society sees as feminizing? Even when large men are mocked for their bodies, they are referred to as having “man-boobs,” for fucks sake. How do you expect to improve these things with “men’s rights?” What rights are you fighting for? I can tell you what I think you’re fighting for. I think you’re fighting for the right to contain and control misogyny, and direct it back at women, where you think it belongs. You want to maintain your privilege but erase its consequences and that’s why your movement is farcical; it’s a big feedback loop. How do you expect men to be free from the peripheral effects of misogyny when you refuse to even fucking believe it’s real?

Trump's Mar-a-Lago Spa Was Tailor-Made for Epstein The Trump Spa sought "young, attractive" college students to wear mini-skirts and "skin-tight" tops

You inspired me to dig up what we knew about Mar-a-Lago at the time.

Trump basically created a perfect hunting ground for Epstein and Maxwell:

Trump effectively confessed he knew what Epstein was doing, and the mainstream media whiffed | Press Watch Stenography isn’t enough when Trump unleashes something wildly self-incriminating

In short, Trump knew Epstein was “stealing” his employees – starting with Virginia Giuffre, then a 16-year-old spa assistant – to rape them and make them sex workers. And he didn’t care. presswatchers.org/2025/07/trum...

'I don't care about Direct File': IRS chief says agency plans to end free filing program Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Bill Long said the agency will end its Direct File program.

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?
