In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim
directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Ok, who did this? 😭

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway…

LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

yeah man, please make my 85 year
old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

When people act like MeToo is just a footnote of what’s happening, they’re wrong—it’s part and parcel of the whole conservative package. Sexual violence is a pillar of who they are. The glorification of abuse extends to all of their policies and makes up their strongest identity

When I was surviving DV, my abuser would sometimes wreck his own stuff and punch holes in the wall. On really bad days, he’d threaten to end both of our lives. Autocrats behave the same way but have a global stage. That’s what you’re seeing in the US. Someone burning things down because they can…

Trump administration issues emergency order to open California forests for logging The Trump administration issued an emergency order to boost logging in California’s national forests, aiming to combat what it called a “forest health crisis.”

In a move that could substantially reshape California’s natural landscape, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued an emergency order Friday to accelerate timber harvesting across nearly 113 million acres of national forests.

New York Warns Trump It Will Not Comply With Public School D.E.I. Order New York’s stance differed from the muted and deferential responses from other major institutions to the administration’s threats.

The New York State Education Department said it will not comply with Trump’s DEI order:
“there are no federal or state laws prohibiting the principles of DEI.” 👏👏👏

Last night I was driving up 395 along the eastern Sierras.

Given the present circumstances, I decided to sleep outside, across the road from Manzanar. It was a mild spring night, and I have a modern sleeping bag.

It was cold as hell.

Trump is not just losing, he is hemorrhaging support!

There is no bottom.

My grandma was one of a dozen kids, was struck by lightning TWICE, and she didn't like to eat chicken because it was her job to wring the necks.

"There's more to life than being able to buy cheap garbage," sagely intones the man who had a complete mental breakdown from which he has never recovered because he couldn't go to big box stores and chain restaurants for 3 weeks in 2020.

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

Good luck comprehending the layers on this one.

I help tell Jewish women's stories. Trump's attacks on diversity are an assault on everyone's history. - Jewish Telegraphic Agency When people’s stories are obliterated, their rights are not far behind, writes the CEO of the Jewish Women’s Archive.

"One of the many lessons history teaches us is that when people’s stories are obliterated, their rights are not far behind." —JWA CEO Judith Rosenbaum on JTA:

A group of students holding signs saying Jews against ice and free Mahmoud now sitting inside a university gate

A close-up of a student whose hands are changed to a gate. Next to a sign that says release Mahmoud Khalil now

Students holding signs that say “Jews against ICE”

Jewish students at Columbia have chained themselves to a gate (already locked) to protest ICE detentions of student protestors. They accuse members of our board of trustees of providing information about students to ICE and are demanding accountability.

I guess we forgot green card holders have the same freedom of speech as anyone else. SO until we start "deporting" and disappearing white supremacists and the like..

yep. Trump wants revenge, Vought and Vance want a NatCon regime, and Elon wants to destroy the state

BREAKING: The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University has reneged on their commitment to host the @sciencewriters.org annual conference and withdrew their entire financial support.

The National Association of Science Writers is now looking for a new venue, sponsors, and partners.

Cover of LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK OF PRIDE, two parents kissing their child on the cheek while she holds a rainbow flag

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

Your friendship/ability as a coworker/family member..are only as good..and safe..as both your use to them..and how much you put them on a pedestal.

Keep a watch out for people that support us turning our backs as a nation on the Ukraine because of a lack of
"respect" or lack of "thankfulness". Because those same people will do the same thing to YOU, personally.
