And why isn't any journalist asking directly if trump, his friends, or his family is benefiting financially from the deportations? It feels like they're not trying to ask the very basic questions about why this is happening

How are we going to be sure that when they're released, they don't omit republicans involved?

Cat art collector: may I interest you in some German cat plates or a cat linocut print? Giving them away because we're moving. DM me if you'd like em

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

I hope the insurance premiums spiking and groceries being less and less affordable results in less moderates. But I'm not holding my breath

My hot take is that if does not actually matter to Palestine, or to any Indigenous population, what DNA tests show. I'm obviously not an Indigenous person but if my DNA showed I was 96% donkey and 4% tardigrade, it still wouldn't be okay to kill me and take my house.

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful

You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

there is a government shutdown with no end in sight and it’s not even really the lead story rn because the president can’t stop invading American cities for no reason other than spite

When a conventionally attractive white person dies trying to intervene, then they'll care. The same way missing persons aren't on the news until they fit that criteria.

Much better than doing nothing

Zohran sits on a bus talking to a rider sitting behind him.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

It was on the news she had been beaten, starved, and then posed for photo ops with chips after being starved. The news is just so batshit crazy right now it didn't stand out.

Plan to Reflect Sunlight to Power Solar Panels at Night Upsets Astronomers Reflect Orbital aims to launch its first of a planned 4,000 satellites into orbit next year. Scientists worry that it would be “ruinous” for research.

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.

The Supreme Court wants to allow conversion therapy so that's why we have oral arguments in Chiles v. Salazar this morning.

The Supreme Court wanted to allow Christian people to refuse to serve queers, so that's why they issued an advisory opinion in 303 Creative v. Elenis.

Everything is rigged.

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”

People forget or don't know that 750k people died in the civil war. The days of muskets aka the next brewing civil war with Glocks and ARs will be significantly more deadly. I hate this timeline.

An ICE agent shot and killed a man in his car who had just dropped off his 3-year-old son at day care in Chicago. The agency said the man had resisted arrest and dragged an agent with his car. Video obtained by The Washington Post shows the man driving away from the officers

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
