Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.
Man, I almost wish I were in front of this guy in a coffee line just so I could look thoughtfully over the menu and then ask if they do plain black tea. I bet I could get his head to explode.
I would have gone for “Cumming Not to Play for a Month” but perhaps that’s not a proper headline.
THIS IS INSANE
will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.
5. Federal agencies have cajoled institutions of higher ed into capitulation under Trump. UPenn, Brown, Northwestern and other elite colleges have made bargains sacrificing anything from trans athletes to life-saving care for trans youth to preserve their federal funding.
This article doesn’t mention that the amicus brief filed in the SCOTUS on behalf of Killer Mike, Young Thug, Fat Joe, T.I. & other artists & scholars is the work principally of colleagues & students in the Criminal Justice Clinic at @howardlawschool.bsky.social

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.
Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years.
Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.
1-to register, a driver's license is insufficient; you'll need a passport or a birth certificate + valid ID.
2-to vote, IDs such as tribal IDs or student IDs are not valid.
Professional Dems really need to emphasize what a pain in the ass the SAVE act will be.
Hey all, I'm crunching the numbers and it looks like I might need just a bit more help for the extra costs with my bottom surgery (the surgery is now entirely paid for, it's the lodging during recovery and such)

I've got until April to raise a bit extra, anything helps
This thread is a must watch.
Lara Trump’s event at Mar-a-Lago had an official “plastic surgery sponsor”
My mentions have folks calling Talarico a "fascist" and assuring me that black Texans would never ever vote for anyone who uses Christian language.
For the good of democracy, I'm begging some of you to take a long break from social media. It's not helping you and you're definitely not helping us.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10.

Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."
Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC: "Home Health Aide $23,000 I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them? Bronx Day-Care Worker $31,000 $16,600 from day-care profits $14,400 from trainings and consulting Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."
It's all so clear
An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that." Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.
Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.
ah the 1930s. famously springtime for Hitler and Germany, but winter for Poland and France.
Feels like 1930s France
Crate&Barrel’s marketing team really didn’t think this one thru huh
The SAVE Act excludes Tribal IDs without expiration dates from acceptable documentation. Many Tribal nations issue IDs without expirations, creating disproportionate barriers for Native American voters. #SaveActTaxesVoters
Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.
Call your Senators. 202-224-3121.
Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...
this is an excellent piece, and this sticks out in particular
it's actually very difficult to get a gender dysphoria diagnosis! (which is easy to know if you listen to trans people!)
it is extremely unlikely that gay kids are going to be accidentally pressured into being trans by mere suggestion
“People tend to disbelieve stories when actions don't meet the words—even if the story is true. In fact, if the actions of those telling the story don't match their words, people stop believing the story is true, despite mounting evidence of its veracity.”

when my congressman filed articles of impeachment, the first awesome thing I've ever seen him do, the Democratic leadership *reamed him out*.
Like wtf.
