Too often I think we view misogyny through the lens of women’s responsibility—do women cause misogyny, how can women avoid misogyny, how can we blame women, always—instead of recognizing that there is literally no way to opt out of or avoid misogyny entirely, because our whole society is built on it

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

These depositions are my new favorite show. I cannot stop watching them.
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.

About half the jail population in Albuquerque is homeless. The county spends about $169 per night to jail inmates without significant medical or mental health needs. Housing individuals in the city’s year-round emergency shelter costs $44 a night.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
I was in Mexico City for it today and the whole fucking city was shut down so women could march in the streets, wear purple and glitter and decry patriarchy. It was great !

Literal black rain followed.
As the death toll climbs higher each day, we must remember:
Those being killed are not statistics. They are real people who had loved ones. Who had hopes and dreams.
Our leaders have a moral duty to stop this killing.
Be careful. Don't get into the story of the hose and the fishes.
