I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

It's becoming increasingly obvious that the internet we've had for the past 30 years is being actively dismantled.

We need to start taking proactive action to protect data and lines of communications on websites that haven't been affected yet, before they are.

Censorship is rapidly coming.

Seattle needs its ‘Zohran’ moment, because these Corporate-owned Democrats like Bruce Harrell have to fucking go
At that time, we already knew the City was facing a structural budget shortfall. But Mayor Harrell dragged his feet and refused to contemplate new revenue, instead stealing JumpStart funds away from affordable housing to fill the gap and finance new spending.
Mayor Harrell Sacrifices $200 Million of Affordable Housing Rather Than Taxing the Rich
Harrell chose to appease his wealthy donors at the expense of affordable housing and his workers.

Regarding Iran, think the main divide on the right is less "hawks vs. doves" and more "racists (we have domestic undesirables we need to focus on) vs. racists (we are in a clash of civilizations)."

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

San Antonio police have walked back on a previous statement that there was no evidence of a hate crime in the killing of actor Jonathan Joss, with the police chief now calling the statement “premature.”

Gender-affirming care is safe for transgender youth and legal under federal law.

No matter what the Trump administration says or does, we’ll always defend the rights of transgender youth to access the care they need and the future they deserve.

Also note the substantive scoop from @jeremyfaust.bsky.social here: RFK is sitting on ACIP recommendations for RSV and meningitis vaccines. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...
RFK Jr. quietly signed off on some narrow CDC vaccine recommendations, but left RSV and new meningitis shots in limbo.
Also: The HHS Secretary told the Senate that a Trump-appointed lawyer is running the CDC, one day after the CDC itself stated it has no Director. His statement seems to have been false.
