The new Tylenol ad just dropped. Sound up!

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation.

i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Mrs. Schrödinger raps gently on the side of her husband’s coffin, then presses her ear against the cool mahogany, listening intently. She stands up slowly, nods, and watches with lingering trepidation as the box is lowered into the ground.

A photo of Anas Al-Sharif and his Al Jazeera colleague Mohammad Qrere in their press bullet proof vests looking at their phones. Both are reported killed. Photo credit to Motassem A Dalloul.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

‘A deadly scheme’: Palestinians face indiscriminate gunfire at food sites Investigation based on visual evidence, bullets, medical records and testimony appears to show sustained pattern of Israeli shootings

NEW Guardian investigation confirms Israel is massacring Palestinians at GHF aid sites:

Bullets are consistent with Israeli munitions; wound clusters are consistent are with intentional targeting; and victims say, “100% of the time, it’s from the Israeli forces.”

Ok this is going to be a long thread.

I haven’t done a lot of long gaylor threads on Bluesky, so if you recently followed me for law/politics stuff, I sometimes also post about queer themes in Taylor Swift’s art.

I’m sorry/you’re welcome.

@jasonkpargin.bsky.social I bought his book based on his posts about stuff unrelated to his book.

We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below. Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.

OMG

Two-page letter from Harvard Human Resources addressed to the Harvard community. It informs recipients that on July 8, 2025, Harvard received a Notice of Inspection (NOI) and related subpoena from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to inspect I-9 employment eligibility forms and supporting documentation for Harvard employees. Initially thought to concern a few dozen employees in Massachusetts Hall, DHS later clarified it applies to all current Harvard employees and anyone employed within the past 12 months. The letter distinguishes this request from prior subpoenas and references the federal I-9 process. On the second page, Harvard states it is not providing I-9 records for student-only employment roles while evaluating whether FERPA permits such disclosure. It has asked DHS to confirm that any records produced will be securely maintained, accessed only by authorized personnel, and used solely for legal purposes. The letter concludes with a note to contact local HR offices for questions and provides a link to FAQs.

Harvard has just informed all employees that DHS has sent a subpoena requesting access to all i-9 records for Harvard employees and that they turned them over to the Trump admin with some exceptions

THREAD. This week, the New York Times published a hagiography of a ruthless drug war prosecutor. I want to make a few important points about the most important kinds of misinformation that regularly appear in the New York Times and other mainstream news outlets.

WaPo: purchased and gutted to pump propaganda by an oligarch.

LA Times: purchased and gutted to pump propaganda by an oligarch.

CNN: gutted and pushing propaganda

MSNBC: being actively gutted and spun off

CBS News: being purchased by an oligarch's failson and set up to push propaganda.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.

His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

ME: Also...when you think about it, the A in the name is kinda redundant.

ARBY’S CASHIER: *now crying

ME: And the Y

MANAGER: *tazing me* Why won't you go down??

Screenshot of a tweet by J.K. Rowling replying to Mark Adam Harold. Mark's tweet asks, "How are you planning to police public toilets?" J.K. Rowling responds: "Quite easily, really. Decent men will stay out, as they always have, so we can assume all who don't are a threat, given their disregard for women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. Photographing, reporting and disseminating such men's images online will be a piece of cake." The tweet was posted at 10:51 PM on June 21, 2025, and has 216.9K views, 298 comments, 1.2K retweets, 10K likes, and 152 bookmarks.

JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms.

This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

Reported FBI Probe Targets Trans-Affirming Care Providers—For Procedure They Don’t Do Unconfirmed reports of an FBI probe in pediatric hospitals serving trans youth leaves parents, doctors and transgender youth in a suspended state of terror. That’s by design.

1. Children's Hospitals are reportedly under investigation by the FBI for gender affirming care, which is not illegal.

The Trump admin is using anti-FGM laws, which do not apply and have specific definitions.

It is a scare tactic meant to coerce hospitals.

They handed me a mat and a folded-up sheet of aluminum foil. "What is this?" "Your blanket." "I don't understand." I was taken to a tiny, freezing cement cell with bright fluorescent lights and a toilet. There were five other women lying on their mats with the aluminum sheets wrapped over them, looking like dead bodies. The guard locked the door behind me.

text There were around 140 of us in our unit. Many women had lived and worked in the US legally for years but had overstayed their visas often after reapplying and being denied. They had all been detained without warning. If someone is a criminal, I agree they should be taken off the streets. But not one of these women had a criminal record. These women acknowledged that they shouldn't have overstayed and took responsibility for their actions. But their frustration wasn't about being held accountable; it was about the endless, bureaucratic limbo they had been trapped in. The real issue was how long it took to get out of the system, with no clear answers, no timeline and no way to move forward. Once deported, many have no choice but to abandon everything they own because the cost of shipping their belongings back is too high. I met a woman who had been on a road trip with her husband. She said they had 10-year work visas. While driving near the San Diego border, they mistakenly got into a lane leading to Mexico. They stopped and told the agent they didn't have their passports on them, expecting to be redirected. Instead, they were detained. They are both pastors.

I met a family of three who had been living in the US for 11 years with work authorizations. They paid taxes and were waiting for their green cards. Every year, the mother had to undergo a background check, but this time, she was told to bring her whole family. When they arrived, they were taken into custody and told their status would now be processed from within the detention center. Another woman from Canada had been living in the US with her husband who was detained after a traffic stop. She admitted she had overstayed her visa and accepted that she would be deported. But she had been stuck in the system for almost six weeks because she hadn't had her passport. Who runs casual errands with their passport? One woman had a 10-year visa. When it expired, she moved back to her home country, Venezuela. She admitted she had overstayed by one month before leaving. Later, she returned for a vacation and entered the US without issue. But when she took a domestic flight from Miami to Los Angeles, she was picked up by Ice and detained. She couldn't be deported because Venezuela wasn't accepting deportees. She didn't know when she was getting out. There was a girl from India who had overstayed her student visa for three days before heading back home. She then came back to the US on a new, valid visa to finish her master's degree and was handed over to Ice due to the three days she had overstayed on her previous visa. There were women who had been picked up off the street, from outside their workplaces, from their homes. All of these women told me that they had been detained for time spans ranging from a few weeks to 10 months. One woman's daughter was outside the detention center protesting for her release.

When we arrived at our next destination, we were forced to go through the entire intake process all over again, with medical exams, fingerprinting - and pregnancy tests; they lined us up in a filthy cell, squatting over a communal toilet, holding Dixie cups of urine while the nurse dropped pregnancy tests in each of our cups. It was disgusting. We sat in freezing-cold jail cells for hours, waiting for everyone to be processed. Across the room, one of the women suddenly spotted her husband. They had both been detained and were now seeing each other for the first time in weeks. The look on her face - pure love, relief and longing - was something I'll never forget. We were beyond exhausted. I felt like I was hallucinating. The guard tossed us each a blanket: "Find a bed." There were no pillows. The room was ice cold, and one blanket wasn't enough. Around me, women lay curled into themselves, heads covered, looking like a room full of corpses. This place made the last jail feel like the Four Seasons. I kept telling myself: Do not let this break you. Thirty of us shared one room. We were given one Styrofoam cup for water and one plastic spoon that we had to reuse for every meal. I eventually had to start trying to eat and, sure enough, I got sick. None of the uniforms fit, and everyone had men's shoes on. The towels they gave us to shower were hand towels. They wouldn't give us more blankets. The fluorescent lights shined on us 24/7. Everything felt like it was meant to break you. Nothing was explained to us. I wasn't given a phone call. We were locked in a room, no daylight, with no idea when we would get out.

Canadian victims of the Trump regime have witnessed and documented first hand the inhumane conditions ICE keeps its victims, subjecting them to psychological and mental torture and degrading living standards. Many victims are kept locked up for months and even years. #StopICE

US CDC report shows no link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted a report on Tuesday that said evidence does not support a link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders, ahead of a two-day meeting of an advisory panel later this week.

⚠️TRUMP/RFK Jr’s CDC IS ALLOWING FALSIFIED VACCINE STUDIES—CDC vaccine presentation cites study that DOES NOT EXIST. In a review on the use of thimerosal in vaccines slated to be presented to the CDC's vaccine committee cites a study that does not exist, the scientist listed as study's author said.🧵

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres *per day*.

I need y’all to come to terms with the fact that this isn’t going to be pretty. It’s not going to be permitted protests and pussy hats. This is a war against a violent fascist regime.

And if everyone’s biggest concern is the property damage, we’re going to lose.

I just don't get it.

The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide.

And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that"

NO.

THE FUCK.

WE DO NOT.

Take ✌🏾seconds and vote for Public Enemy ,,,
