Kennedy Allies Target States to Overturn Vaccine Mandates for Schoolchildren

I fear this is being treated as background noise rather than the 5 alarm emergency it is. Absolutely terrifying.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Does your university use ChatGPT Edu? Please send me a DM if you do. I have identified a potential data breach affecting students' data that has not yet been fixed and I'm trying to compile further examples from other universities.

Reposts appreciated!

It’s just an unapologetic defense of colonialism and ethnoreligious supremacy and a rejection of liberal democracy

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

I think it's important for white people to vocally denounce this shit as evil and racist but also EMBARRASSING, it is embarrassing to me as a white person!!!

What does this have to do with detention oversight? Everything. While Jacob survived nearly 7 million others were killed behind the smokescreen he was used to create. 8/

got a gofundme update on someone trying to get their dad out of ICE custody & first not even the kidnapped dad knew where he was, then the kid found out he was thousands of miles away being worked by the state & the kid is in search of a lawyer to help & this is just one GFM on one saturday in 2026.

I suspect he's channeling most of America at this point, in words, emotions, and tears.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

In January, Florida Rep. Randy Fine made a typically bigoted post on X about his colleague in the House of Representatives, Ilhan Omar. The post was in conversation with a specious right-wing conspiracy alleging that Omar's net worth had increased, nefariously, through a variety of unspecified means-perhare cryptically linked back to her Somali heritage. Fine asserted that to "solve all this," Omar ought to be "denaturalized and deported." The ugliness of the comment prompted Rick Wilson-former Republican strategist, he of the magnanimous Lincoln Project-to step forward. In earlier eras of discourse, the Lincoln Project attempted to coalesce an anti-Trump movement by appealing to our better angels; brandishing Sorkin-ish platitudes about the Soul of America. (There is a

Lincoln Project-to step forward. In earlier eras of discourse, the Lincoln Project attempted to coalesce an anti-Trump movement by appealing to our better angels; brandishing Sorkin-ish platitudes about the Soul of America. (There is a reason the rganization name-checks the 16th president.) But Wilson took a much different approach here. Rather than addressing the content of Fine's character, Wilson homed in on something else: The congressman is very, very fat.

"Hunting you with harpoons and whaleboats would solve all this," said Wilson, parroting Fine's diction. Among the responses threaded below Wilson's retort, one is an edit of promotional materials for a 2011 television adaptation of Moby-Dick. In it, Fine has been photoshopped in place of the whale.

It goes without saying that for a very long time, fat-shaming a politician was previously verboten in the liberal playbook. I also do not possess the wherewithal to cast judgement on whether Fine —who has expressed some genuinely bloodthirsty sentiments about Palestinians— deserves to be bullied in ach a way. But what I can say is that, right now, we are in the midst of a marked pivot in the way the Democratic Party interfaces with its opposition. The shift in attitude hasn't been firmly diagrammed; instead, what's going on here is mostly subconscious, like a collective unlocking of forbidden territory.

No. This guy isn’t even a Democrat and fat-shaming is not what people mean when they talk about ‘dark woke’ or ‘woke 2’.

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting The “show your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.

Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them

I have not mentioned before how happy I was that @petridishes.bsky.social escaped the Post before it fully imploded, and also, how she remains in being a national treasure

OK everyone who is making fun of Kristi Noem over the blanket thing has OBVIOUSLY never had a toddler who was elevated to a Cabinet position

There’s a pattern here. Whether it’s blocking members’ visits to immigration detention sites or abusing emergency powers to usurp Congress’s power to impose tariffs, contempt for the constitutional role of Congress has become a standard feature of this administration. 9/10

This is so fucking evil my eyes hurt.

so life-saving aid that Russ Vought has cut from poor children, causing many to die, is being used instead to protect the life of Russ Vought - the white Christian nationalist fanatic whose objective is traumatizing other people

Actually wrote a couple of books explaining this.

You guys know that Gavin Newsom’s whole strategy is to get you to talk about him like he’s the presumptive nominee so he seems like it, right? And you don’t have to do that because it’s 2026? You’re taking the bait.

The primary isn’t the next fight and the next fight will shape what happens after that. Go win it.

something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:

helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.

and you can help.
