Sickening.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Cultural Regions of the US

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

A good way to resist the fascists.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Pastor David Black, First Presbyterian Church, being pepper-sprayed outside ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Michigan Republican pushing pornography ban linked to porn site, records show - Detroit Metro Times A Republican state lawmaker leading a campaign to ban pornography in Michigan appears to have had an account on a pornographic hook-up website that promised users they could “find sex” and “get laid t...

Rep. Josh Schriver, the Republican currently pushing to ban porn in Michigan, used his email to register for account on the adult site Fling, the “world’s best casual personals for adult dating, sex, and swingers.”

Mr. "The Mouth and Anus Are Not Sex Organs" may have some explaining to do.

Memo to Bari Weiss Re: CBS News: You’re doomed Bari Weiss has sold her company, The Free Press, to manage the decline of broadcast news at CBS. How many ways can it go wrong?

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

I so enjoyed learning just how challenging it is for humans to live in space, let alone attempt to settle Mars.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

we posted a video of me talking about little free libraries and banned books for AABB and two of the comments are: stop making porn for kids and a warning to other parents about how my book Squad isn't appropriate for teens bc of "themes"

neither is surprising. both are indicative of this fight.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

Ryan Murphy shoving Christine Jorgensen in this fucking thing so she can tell Ed Gein he's autogynephellic, a debunked theory popular in conversion therapy circles, is frankly fucking bizarre and disgusting.

Dare I say a good idea would be to defund the [ice] police?

Keep exercising your body and mind.

Hard pass.

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted
