Christofascists can all fuck off

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

(I am incredulous because the government just used to want me dead for being queer. But for real every axis on which our government is deeply adversarial to my perfectly normal life is an axis on which I have personal freedom)

And if I ever move out of the US it will be because it is impossible to age safely here.

I pay more for health insurance per year than I pay for my housing. More than I pay for food. More than I pay for electricity. I pay more for health insurance per year than I earned annually at jobs in my first decade of work.

I am self-employed. Obamacare is how I get insured. My rates doubled this year. DOUBLED. Does our government believe that only people who work for corporations should be allowed to live?

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.

"But I don't think they make that much!"

Halve that. Halve it again.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

you don’t hate rich people enough

If he has a trans godson & still agrees w/Nazis that trans ppl shouldn’t be allowed to play sports or transition before age 26, considers them “not normal” & chalks up their struggle for rights to “pronouns” then that makes him even worse cause he should fucking know better but pulls that bs anyway.

Absolutely chilling story

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

Pixar is owned by Disney.

Disney. The movie studio that made Bambi (mother shot by hunters), Dumbo (mother locked up by torturing circus trainers), Lady and the Tramp (Jock hit by a car), Pinocchio (whale scene traumatized kids I was babysitting so badly we had to leave the rerelease).

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

ICE abducted a US citizen when she came home from a trip to Turkey. Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi was born in Evanston, Illinois, and is being held in an ICE detention center.

ICE told her family they don’t know where she is. Her iPhone pings from within the ICE building. Protests are outside.

just thinking about how USAID was dismantled under the rationale of cost savings but there's an unlimited budget for war

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

You can find lots of message boards about this. Parents bragging about finding “autism parasites” in the stool after treatment - it’s the dead lining of the kids’ intestines

Joe Rogan calls trans people "f**king perverts" & blames them for school shootings - LGBTQ Nation He's the world's most popular podcaster.

Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?

He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.

There is a reason you hold the line at sports.

Teen mothers were silenced in 1960s maternity homes. Could it happen again? Kate Schatz’s novel "Where the Girls Were" revisits an era of secrecy, shame and girls pressured to give up their babies.

More than 1.5 million girls were sent to maternity homes during the Baby Scoop era, where they were kept in seclusion, told they didn’t deserve to be mothers, and returned to their lives to pretend none of it happened.

This is the America the GOP wants to make great again.

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
