Honestly, I think this is in large part why the rhetoric from the misogynist, patriarchal rhetoric from the fascists is intensifying.

Majority of the folks in that photo are people they would categorize as women
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I know this seems like it should be impossible, but both of these statements are true: Trump's judicial nominees all refuse to denounce the January 6 insurrection or say that he lost the 2020 election, and ALSO, some Senate Dems keep voting to confirm those nominees to life-tenured judgeships
Why Are Senate Democrats Still Voting to Confirm Trump’s Judicial Nominees?
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying Trump nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to confirm them.

Alternatively: We are imposing new requirements to private businesses that will discourage them from serving people on SNAP.
Brooke Rollins: "You talk about those on food stamps. A lot of people buy their groceries, especially those that are on food stamps, from convenience stores. We're now requiring those retailers to double the amount of healthy food that they stock if they're gonna take the EBT card."

On two occasions a Dollar General worker drank a $1.69 orange juice to stave off diabetic shock. She later paid for each drink.

Dollar General fired her anyway.

Now a jury has awarded her $277,565.

Gee, turns out an organization that depends on gullible people hires gullible mothafuckers!
Turning Point USA is allegedly "purging" staffers, after Candace Owens's crazy theories about TPUSA's involvement in Charlie Kirk's murder started to catch on with their own employees.

Candace Owens Gets Inside TPUSA’s Head
Her nutty theories about the killing of Charlie Kirk have won over some of his organization’s employees.

Of US animals I get questions about from Aussies, skunks are in the top 3. They just have no reference point for what the smell is like, and no native animals with similar defense mechanisms. They're -fascinated- by them.
Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers.

But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

The standard form of liberal genocide apologia these days is blaming others for their own candidate's failure, with replies and quotes both locked down.

It's fuckin weird behavior.

PASSED: the House just passed the resolution to end Trump's tariffs on Canada.

Not many crosses from Republicans, a lot of vulnerable incumbents took a dumb vote here to stick with Trump and GOP leadership. Goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it.

Will share the vote sheet when I have it!

the worst people in the world are capitalizing on a tragedy to further their own ideology, and it is sad and scary to see how quickly this was taken and weaponized against trans people, while the very real victims of this shooting are simply an afterthought.
Within hours, we already had an elected official—B.C. MLA Tara Armstrong—blaming the Tumbler Ridge school shooting on gender-affirming care.

The third worst mass shooting in Canadian history happened yesterday in a small BC town. Kids are dead, a community is reeling. This is a time to grieve. This is not a time to gain political points by punching down on trans people.

Can't wait for every bad faith GOP transphobe in the United States (iow, every Republican) to respond to today's shooting in BC by saying trans people must be exterminated with extreme prejudice as the Gavin Newsom wing of the Democrats publicly and solemnly say they have no opinion on the matter 🙃

We can still support local journalism—I just set up a recurring donation for @atlpresscollective.com and you can too! every little bit helps.
Even more bad news for Atlanta local journalism: @atlpresscollective.com, which has extensively covered "Cop City", ICE, and Flock cameras, and a finalist for the @inn.org Insight Award for Visual Journalism, announced today that they have run out of cash to stay open beyond the end of March.
More bad news for Atlanta local journalism: Mariann Martin, Co-founder, Operations and Editorial Director of @canopyatl.bsky.social, announced her departure from the newsroom yesterday.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: One of the biggest reasons the right wing couldn't make Charlie Kirk stick as their Reichstag fire is that none of them, including his own widow, actually and sincerely gave a fuck he died

people thought I was downplaying his importance when I said this, but I was right
At EOD, Charlie Kirk was just some fucking guy. The billionaire Dracula who signed his paychecks will just go down to Hillsdale or some other private Christian school and find one that's exactly like him to replace him, like your dad going down to the shelter to replace your cat that he ran over.
