ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

the fact that the NRA is offering even this incredibly mild level of resistance is significant.

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

I "left" (stop engaging IRL) the trans community in 2013, but the more glimpses I get into what passes for normal discourse in said community online, the more convinced I am that that is the smartest move I ever made. I would never suggest any young trans people engage with the community.

Remember when everyone was terrified TikTok would allow China to spy on Americans? Well, it looks like people were right to be worried, only they were afraid of the wrong country:
🚨This is the new TikTok Privacy Policy I found on Reddit. Read it & pass this on. Looks like they can pull from USER CONTENT race, religious beliefs, mental/physical health diagnosis, sex life, status as transgender, citizenship/immigration status & more personal info.

MAGA and ICE don't have the numbers.
Yes, they have power, money, and the government.
But they don't have the people.
Every week, they are hated more and more and radicalizing white folks, veterans, independents, and conservatives.

Corporate Media's abject failure from 2015-2026 is dominant feature when people study how we got here.
👇🎯 It was all obvious to anyone truly paying attention at the time, but now, in 2026, it's obscene to look back on the staggeringly shameful & fundamentally unserious nature of our National Conversation™️ in 2022-24 about Joe Biden, 🇺🇸 politics, & the two parties' positions on the political spectrum:

people are suddenly sharing this 🧵 again – perhaps Jonathan Haidt made yet another baseless claim today?
since Jonathan Haidt is spreading "social contagion" pseudoscience, time to re-up these two essays. "All the Evidence Against Transgender Social Contagion" links to research studies showing otherwise & how the theory was invented by anti-trans parents:
