Cashless Bail Helps Keep Families Together. Trump Wants to Shut It Down. As the president escalates his federal takeover of D.C., his latest efforts target a system held up as a model since 1992.

Trump's executive orders attempting to end "cashless bail" are an attack on safety, accountability, and justice that will disproportionately harm Black people and people experiencing poverty.

Let's be clear: money bail does NOT make communities safer.

not voting for this guy for jack shit find someone else for your lil 2028 election

Yeah actually this product is evil

The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force established in Executive Order 14252 of March 27, 2025 (Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful), shall establish an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience to apply to join Federal law enforcement entities to support the policy goals described in Executive Order 14333. Each law enforcement agency that is a member of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, as well as other relevant components of the Department of Justice as the Attorney General determines, shall further, subject to the availability of appropriations and applicable law, immediately create and begin training, manning, hiring, and equipping a specialized unit that is dedicated to ensuring public safety and order in the Nation’s capital that can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate, and that could be deployed, subject to applicable law, in other cities where public safety and order has been lost. ( (ii) The Secretary of Defense shall immediately begin ensuring that each State’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized, and available to assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law. In coordination with the respective adjutants general, the Secretary of Defense shall designate an appropriate number of each State’s trained National Guard members to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization for such purposes. In addition, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure the availability of a standing National Guard quick reaction force that shall be resourced, trained, and available for rapid nationwide deployment.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Death cult

they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights

A flyer taped to a wooden pole features a bold headline: “I CAN BITE ANYTHING” with smaller text underneath saying “Bring me Anything and I’ll bite it.” Three labeled images are shown: • A roasted pepper labeled “Hatch Chile” • A bundle of toys and cords labeled “String” • A piece of fabric with a toy on it labeled “Strong String” Below the images is a large photo of a wide-eyed black cat with its mouth open, as if ready to bite. Text at the bottom reads: ”$400 REWARD for bringing me something I CANNOT BITE” followed by smaller text: “Biting is how I keep my mind thinking actual good Thoughts.”

watching yet another round of "media consolidation" & I'm wondering how anyone still believes the myth of capitalism as an efficient Creator of Jobs when clearly its founding purpose is siphoning money into the bank accounts of twelve dudes, leaving a trail of desiccated corpses in its wake

There's a point, around the age of twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

It started with friends at home. Now Dungeons & Dragons is in its stadium era. In the past decade or so, actors and comedians have adopted D&D as a performance medium. Podcasts and web series have expanded into stadium tours – and fueled growing interest in the game more broadly.

Is the legacy of Hurricane Katrina more lethal than the storm? Black New Orleanians navigate hopelessness, addiction, and the struggle to survive.

As New Orleans approaches the 20th anniversary of Katrina, researchers have found that Louisiana holds the distinction of being the state most vulnerable to “deaths of despair,” including suicide, substance abuse, or chronic issues linked to poverty. [via @capitalb.bsky.social]

Sen. Amy Klobuchar just told me her office is looking into this:

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

In CA, Access to Top Surgery is Vanishing. One Surgeon Calls it a “Tactical Retreat.” — Assigned As Kaiser Permanente acts to halt access to gender-affirming surgery for minors and young adults, many providers fear for the well-being of patients. Others are defending the decision.

Clinics across the country are ending or limiting gender-affirming care.

Today, Assigned has two stories from opposite sides of the country on the crisis in trans youth care.

First, Kaiser Permanente is ending surgical care through age 19. One surgeon told our reporter it was a "tactical retreat."
