Some people truly care about not being told that they are wrong WAY more than they care about anything else (including whether they ARE wrong). It's both astounding and depressing to watch

MAGA spends all its energy policing bathrooms and drag queens while ignoring the predators in its own ranks. Robert Medcalf’s arrest for infant molestation is a grim reminder: the threat isn't the person in the wig; it's often the one in the red hat.

props to sir superhero for a cogent overview of a contradictory history, including sussing out a rather large plot hole before also proposing a solution … excellent work, only quibble the missing context, at 25 years remove, that the first Bloodstone mini was a transparent attempt at Marvel’s Buffy.

I think the biggest misunderstanding of politics comes from people who think that a vote is a favor you do for a politician that they must earn in some way.
A vote is not a favor to a politician. You are voting to make the choice that will help your community the most/hurt it the least.

Like I'm literally pleading with you: stop falling for bullshit.
The truth is bad enough and you are doing a massive disservice to victims (and also undermining future justice) by repeating bullshit as if what happened to them isn't enough for you.

There are hundreds of victims' interviews and depositions in these files, many under oath, many under conditions where lying is a felony.
The truth is bad enough. It doesn't need to be any worse than the truth. Stop trying to make it worse.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.

Giving them more training won't make them more peaceful.
It'll just make their brutalization more polished and effective.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
