They have been working up to this since day one. This is their excuse for why they cover their faces, why following them and keeping track of license plates (which they illegally swap) is “doxxing” (it isn’t), why they have repeatedly arrested activists.
Fuck them.

Earlier this year, we published an article on how women are increasingly seeking out testosterone to help with energy or their sex lives. We followed up with one woman who went on testosterone to help with her menopausal symptoms. The effects had unexpected consequences for her marriage.

At a trendy young clientele vegan restaurant recently, they played an entire side of Led Zeppelin III. I was at peace. But then in the Trader Joe's produce section two young people had this exchange:
"I got a Hall & Oates."
"Wow, Hall & Oates is my favorite."
This is tragic.

Now, an organization says they've prepared, have private clinics and financial aid ready for families that need them.

democrats are very capable of fighting to defend their core principals, like 'insider trading'
A discharge petition to advance a policy ending congressional stock trading was finally moving forward when Hakeem Jeffries sucked the air out of it. By proposing his own bill that no Republican would sign, Jeffries effectively made consensus impossible. From @ddayen.bsky.social:
Jeffries Undercuts Congressional Stock Trading Ban - The American Prospect
A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.

Judge found guilty of obstructing arrest in Trump immigration crackdown
A Wisconsin judge was found guilty on Thursday of helping a migrant evade a planned immigration arrest outside her courtroom, a U.S. Justice Department official said, a victory for President Donald Trump’s administration in its effort to deter interference with its hardline immigration tactics.
