I'm happy about Zohran, but I won't be satisfied til Dan Ryan eats crow over this Parks levy. Still 30 minutes to get your ballot in, Portland!

In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”

According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Alright I fucking wrote about this. It was apparently necessary to vent my rage about this this afternoon, because that took me two hours to get it all out and onto the page.

Did Dan Ryan just come out opposed to the levy to fund the parks? The one with the entire booklet full of arguments in support? Dude moves further to the right every hour

Still thinking about Focus Featuring inviting "influencers" to a screening of Bugonia - and then a couple of the refusing to wear bald caps at the "all bald" screening

I think a lot about how in just a few months, I went from literally just a random trans person no one knew, to being cited in Wikipedia, the Washington Post, and even the New York Times about RAINN erasing trans people from their website.

Go out there and do shit, you have so much power!

AG opinion requested on obscene performances bill This week, two Oklahoma lawmakers submitted a request for clarification and guidance from Attorney General Gentner Drummond on a bill that prohibits obscene performances in public spaces where childre...

For fuck's sake. The lawmakers behind Oklahoma's new "public obscenity" law seem to be asking for the power of prior restraint — that local cops can block an LGBTQ+ event before it happens because they believe it might be obscene.

Which is not how obscenity works, but it is how censorship does.

let me get this straight

one guy is gonna fund the military

but there isn't one gajillionaire willing to fund SNAP

and be a true hero?

even a group of simple multi-millionaires

that would be willing to share their horde of cash?

i'm saddened by the fact people just don't fucking care

Nobody Knows What UK Law on Toilet Access Is The lawlessness of the government's response to For Women Scotland v. the Scottish Ministers.

"From the perspective of institutions, there is no policy on toilet use that would not create significant legal liability for you. There is no longer any official guidance... Depending on who you talk to, you might be told that you cannot exclude trans people, that you can, or that you must."

Feds have repeatedly claimed 115+ federal police (25% of force) had to be deployed to Portland over the summer to quell violence. Oregon lawyers found on discovery this was not true and are asking 9th Circuit to reverse Monday decision because feds lied:

I know nobody buys music anymore, but if you don't have a bandcamp and you don't have a digital copy of your album in your website, what are you doing? Even weirder are the websites so focused on the new album that they don't sell downloads of the other albums - and that's most webstores

Land of the Free!

I do get really confused when people act like he campaigned differently? I knew he was gonna be wheeler lite on unhoused folks?

I can't believe me obsessively watching the fascism parade 24/7 is somehow not stopping the fascism and has made me more anxious than I've been in years! Quelle surprise!

"fill in the oval" "find Cuomo on the ballot" seem in the wrong order

i know we aren't allowed to have good things happen but i would like for something funny to happen

Republicans refuse to seat Democrats; Democrats support Republican nominees.

I'm suing DC Metro Police for body cam footage of US Institute of Peace raid The Handbasket is represented pro bono by lawyers from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.

The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.

I am a cheapskate so I mostly ride the bus no matter what, but there have been a couple times I missed an early bus and the next one was like 45 minutes or an hour wait so I just stayed in. And the convenience of Uber/Lyft has creeped into my life as much as I abhor it

The way Trimet keeps surveying people who don't ride the bus to find out the way more cops reminds me of the way Democrats keep moving right in the hopes of winning moderate Republican votes. It would be nice if it worked, but it mostly alienates your current ridership

We got to get that full $80 billion of US taxpayer money down there quick to help Milei hang on to a couple more seats in the legislature.

It’s an America First thing.

Masked Federal Agents Storm Canal Street in Raid Targeting Immigrant Vendors During the raid, small crowds formed near agents, with protesters calling them "fucking fascists" and "scum."

This mass, highly visible federal raid comes on the heels of another sudden raid outside of a migrant shelter, part of an escalation in tactics after a period in which arrests were largely confined to the city's immigration courts.
