Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire
A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative.

This is a great resource in precarious times.

Tried it for my city and it pulled up all the things I know about + more I didn’t. It finds food pantries, but also stuff like legal help and housing assistance.

For those of us more fortunate, great way to find volunteer and donation opportunities.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

The fight here with Gorsuch and Kav vs Nelson is whether the "use" of race automatically means "discrimination" on the basis of race.

That's interesting to me, because it's basically the white folks telling on themselves. They cannot see a "use" of race that isn't synonymous with discrimination.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,

The deportation of Mario Guevara is deeply unjust and should sound alarm bells everywhere. An Emmy-winning journalist legally present in the United States was arrested for reporting on a protest.

Now he's being deported.
Oscar Guevara said he and his younger brother will head to El Salvador to bring their father cameras, clothes and other personal belongings.

“At least he is not dead, and that’s the only thing giving us hope,” Oscar Guevara said in Spanish.
BREAKING: Mario Guevara, the Atlanta-based Spanish-language journalist who was arrested covering an anti-Trump protest, has been transported to a Louisiana immigration facility, from where his family said he will be deported to El Salvador tomorrow at 11 a.m.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. This man should not have been murdered. His children should still have a father. His wife should not have to tell people her trauma.

This government is committing war crimes.
I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

The new MAHA report recommends that the United States increase its breastfeeding rates. But the report makes no mention of a federal paid parental leave program that experts in breastfeeding / caregiving say could make a difference. My latest for @19thnews.org: 19thnews.org/2025/09/gove...
The government wants more people to breastfeed. Experts say paid parental leave could help.
Researchers have been examining ways to increase breastfeeding rates for years. They warn it will take structural reform and funding.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back.
"The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
Four more top #CDC officials have submitted their resignation in the past few hours - Debra Houry (chief medical officer), Demere Daskalakis (director of NCIRD), Daniel Jernigan (director of NCEZID) + Jen Layden (director of OPHDST) www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
