Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

when we talk about censorship of sex and sexuality, I'll be honest, this is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night above even my own work being blacklisted. at best right now we've got "it's okay if it's in an educational context" but who decides that, and how
tbh reposting this on here (there aren't a lot of kids on here) feels a bit futile so I just want to champion Scarleteen as a really incredible accessible resource for kids seeking inclusive sex ed (+ other stuff re: teen safety) and if you can get it into the hands of kiddos now that'd be good
LGTBQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cis peers. In the US, up to 40% of unhoused youth identify as LGBTQ+.
That’s why this series was created - to provide support, essential tips, and resources to youth who are so often overlooked by the system.

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

Fun fact: if the feds use your copyrights or patents without permission, your only remedy is an action for damages (not an injunction) in the Court of Federal Claims. See 28 USC §1498.
Trademark suits are possible, with full remedies available. 15 USC §1122. But rare, for good reason.

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough.
Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

Saw someone post about how it's really fucked up that we all have to speculate about whether or not the FBI manufactured evidence to back their version of events. The thing is, you should always suspect that about law enforcement—these guys are just more clown-ish and obvious about it.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.
