Do you like communism? Do you like angry trans people? Do you like sass and dark humor? Do you like Goth stuff? Do you like cats?

If so, you followed the right person. Welcome. Don't mind the oubliette.

The fact that you think Patton and Churchill were anti-fascist but Stalin wasn't is pure brain rot.

Anyone who would call Churchill or Patton an antifascist deserves ridicule of the highest order.

Your Nationalism is not Antifa.
Winston Churchill was not Antifa.
General Patton was not Antifa.
Your favorite Nationalist was not Antifa.
That's literally the point.

Calling it now that his cis defenders will use this to bludgeon us as a reason why we should vote for him while ignoring that he vetoed one of the most critical bills to trans people.

What people don’t understand about gutting disability rights is that even if you think it doesn’t affect you today it can one day.

Today, it’s Special Education.

Tomorrow, it’ll be the Americans with Disabilities Act.

1 in 4 people 20 years old today will become disabled before they retire.

one of the things that made liberals the angriest last year was pointing out when they argued that the US president has no control over what israel does and this biden couldn't influence the genocide that that position put them further right on the subject than fucking reagan.

One of the greatest tragedies of the Democratic party (among many) is the GOP has consistently been less willing than Dems to take shit from intransigent Israeli leaders. Not for the right reasons necessarily, but still. Biden should be deeply ashamed of the genocide he actively enabled.

ICE agents blocked ambulance from transferring an injured protester to the hospital, even going as far as to threaten to arrest and shoot the driver.

This crosses so many lines.

EMS and first responders need to be free to help whoever needs it.

Delays cost lives.

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

We must demand justice for the hundreds of thousands in Gaza’s mass graves or whose broken homes became their tombs. They’ll be finding martyrs under the rubble for years. Whole generations starved and orphaned, traumatized by amputations without anesthesia… a ceasefire doesn’t negate any of that.

Unconditional support for the Israeli government is counterproductive for both countries. If Trump can get tough, why not Congress and every potus? The Israel right-or-wrong position AIPAC, right-wing Christians, and some US Jews have held is no longer unassailable. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

What now for Israel and Gaza?

No one will be the same.

“An extensive rap sheet” ma’am this kid is 13.

Lie better.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 19h

I posted about this on X, and Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS spokesperson, QTed me to say the kid was actually a hardened criminal arrested with a knife and a gun.

So far she has provided no evidence of this. I share this to give DHS's response, and for the possibility she is telling the truth.

My original post on X: "This makes NO SENSE. A 13-year-old was arrested by local police for unknown reasons, and then turned over to ICE, which is detaining him far away from his mother — who is going through immigration court, has an asylum application on file, and is legally authorized to work." Underneath that I posted a link to the opening paragraphs of the article and the headline.

In response, DHS Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin, @TriciaOhio, wrote: "Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property. He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested."
