These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Claire is a badass. May we all be a little more like Claire.
A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

I got asked if I want to pitch on (another) major franchise reboot at Paramount. I replied saying that I can't in good conscience work for a guy who is currently sitting down to dinner with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Mohammed bin Salman. Maybe I'm my own worst enemy, but... fuck to the no.

Hey @aaron.bsky.team why did these folks get suspensions and Link got a permaban?

Why the inconsistency huh?

So why isn't Link back, Aaron?
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.

The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

The phrase arrived in my head so completely formed and concrete that I couldn't believe it wasn't already established in the lexicon, but at least preliminary searches suggest it is not. Of the people...

I am begging people to please read articles before reacting to them. The "victims" are literally petting the dogs and laughing in the photo. There's enough fuckery in the world to get riled up about w/o posters misinterpreting headlines for clicks.

we paid immigrants below minimum wage to build all these pseudo-luxury apartment complexes no one can afford to live in while developers reap tax breaks for sitting on vacant units, so it kind of is their fault if you really think about it

Now this loser is saying it might be New York so who knows. I’d say if you live pretty much anywhere in the US that you think a federal official could find on a map, feel free to reach out about setting up a little local whistle defense
If anyone has connections in Charlotte, NC or any other city where ICE/CBP are ramping up operations or announcing intent, I’d be happy to tap them into our Chicago whistle network.

Tremane Wood is alive in spite of the Supreme Court, which, this morning, rejected his request to block Oklahoma from executing him at 10am as punishment for a murder he did not commit

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt commuted the sentence to life in prison at 9:59
