The Trump DOJ canceled grants for gun violence prevention, opioid addiction treatment, and victim advocacy—because saving lives doesn’t “align” with their priorities. These are the same folks claiming to make our streets safer.
The Justice Department on Tuesday canceled hundreds of grants to community organizations and local governments, including funding for gun-violence prevention programs, crime-victim advocacy and efforts to combat opioid addiction, according to an email obtained by The Post.

High-key horrific that, in addition to local media, I've only seen @jessicavalenti.bsky.social, @kylietcheung.bsky.social at Jezebel, and me at The Cut cover this story.

If we don't have the right to peaceful protest, we don't have freedom. Period. Full stop. End of story.
If they can disappear a permanent resident without resistance then can and will disappear natural born citizens too.

I've been thinking a lot about this based on the numbers of crashes we've seen in the last month.
When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS.
YOU JUST SHOW UP.

also if you see a website about a “strike” or other large-scale protest, and they ask you to “sign up” by giving your personal information, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION! they are almost certainly honeypots! and any that might not be can easily be compromised!

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
