ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

I really do believe that, by the way. Our cities are the most American places in the United States—they represent what and who we are in a way in an incredibly rich and profound way. And until we as a country accept that, embrace that, celebrate that, we're fucked.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why | Joan Wallach Scott Texas A&M University is the latest school to end women’s and gender studies programs and teaching race. We know why

Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

Fight for Full State Funding of CUNY FY 2027 - PSC CUNY

There is a really obvious solution, and that requires TAXING THE RICH. Because, the people who know best where these funds are needed, and how best to spend them, are the people working to teach the students themselves. Those who, genuinely want to be a part of a special place of learning,

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

I knew it! They're playing the "ICE ALREADY HAS MONEY" line fed by Republicans! Fucking knew it.

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “a form of ID issued consistent with the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the US…” 1/

This evening, House Republicans will try to make it harder to vote.

Their SAVE America Act would block millions of eligible Americans from voting—unless the state hands over their voter rolls to Secretary Noem at DHS. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.

I’m a HELL NO.

This, though! Insurance only covers screenings before a certain age if you're having symptoms or you have family history.

just a fucking weird statement on it's face but also highlights how filthy rich and completely out of touch trump's whole cabinet is. a private boat for a family vacation? stopping by a billionaire's island for lunch? nannies, plural?? the epstein class, indeed.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Opinion | Recognize Health Care as an Essential Public Service Raymond Barranco writes about the inefficiencies of the current American health care system and what can be done to improve it.

OPINION: "Right now, our system leaves millions uninsured, leaves many insured people financially strained, and contributes to a ballooning national debt. We cannot afford to keep dismissing universal health care simply because some label it 'socialist,'" Raymond Barranco writes.

Rep. Stansbury after coming out of the Ghislaine Maxwell deposition:

„The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

Showing your pride at something others don't want you to have pride in is an act of joy, but a very particular type. You're celebrating AT them. They're supposed to be mad.

MAGA is not popular and their hold on power is crumbling under the focus and strength of mutual aid and common decency. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

the soft launch of mass surveillance.

don’t fall for it.

"deprofessionalizing" fields that are majority-women...not by accident!

DeLauro to pressing clergy: 'I will not vote to abolish ICE' The Connecticut U.S. representative found herself at odds with faith leaders.

“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.
