John Calvin is not going to make you his special little boy in heaven for helping Mastercard censor gay porn

There's officially been more accountability for corporate extramarital affairs at Coldplay concerts than there's been for the sitting president covering up a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.

The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption.

102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.

Sex Workers Are Being Abducted by ICE — and Abandoned by Respectability Politics Sex workers targeted by ICE need the migrant justice movement’s full solidarity.

“Protecting migrants also means confronting whorephobia, racism, and criminalization... Defending the rights of migrant sex workers is essential to a broader movement for immigrant justice.”

We’ve had a week of mainstream press asking a NY mayoral candidate to disavow antisemitic slogans THAT HE NEVER SAID. Meanwhile the current president uses a Jewish slur and the press OMITS IT.

Thread about watching ‘Cabaret’

Sorry, but Independence Day will now be referred to as the Juneteenth Afterparty. This will remain in place until the American government stops acting a whole ass.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

The Paramount deal proves just how weak Trump's lawsuit was. It's hard to claim $20 billion in damages, then settle for 0.08% of that and call it a win. But Team Trump is declaring victory anyway – and this chest-puffing statement is exactly why CBS reporters did not want the company to settle:

I don't think a lot of people in politics over the age of 40 understand that young people aren't scared of words like socialism or communism.

They're watching every bad propaganda thing they've ever heard about socialism play out in real life under capitalism. And the socialists have health care.

The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority just took away lower courts' single most powerful tool for reining in the Trump administration's lawless excesses, stripping them of authority to issue universal injunctions that block illegal policies nationwide. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Sotomayor issues a blistering dissent that states plainly that this decision renders constitutional protections meaningless.

Supreme Court Rules With Trump On Birthright Citizenship Challenge The court’s ruling could now mean that once a child born to noncitizen parents leaves certain states, they won’t be considered a U.S. citizen.

this is deliberate, it’s not vance being clumsily racist and vance served with him for two years, he’s deliberately invoking josé padilla because he’s a troll piece of shit

So are you going to stop attacking trans kids on your podcast nearly every episode and stop defunding HIV and trans healthcare?

We rose this weekend and we’re not bowing anytime soon. #NoKings

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban.

Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision.

Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

I’m watching the Panama v Guadeloupe Gold Cup game on TV as we speak. It is being played in Los Angeles. And the stadium is almost completely empty.

A sport that in the U.S. is highly dependent on Latino audiences is no longer viable. The World Cup cannot come here.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Marines and ICE team up in a show of force, turning a community swap meet into a surveillance operation.

Witnesses say people were cornered, forced to identify themselves, and had their photos taken — without suspicion or a warrant.

This is a police state.

“Does the US President’s social media post mean people should evacuate Tehran in a serious, bombs-are-imminent sort of way or a silly, he’ll forget about it in the morning sort of way?” is an insane, nightmarish situation to be in

True!💥

"Trump called for the CSB’s closure during his first term but settled for leaving many investigator and agency leadership positions unfilled."

Sen. Bernie Sanders Wants an Investigation of RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Firings Sanders, the ranking member of the Senate Health Committee, made the request of Sen. Bill Cassidy, the committee chair, in a letter obtained by NOTUS.

Buried in a recent federal spending bill is a quiet little clause (Section 544) that says the government can’t take action against anyone who discriminates against same-sex marriage—as long as they claim it’s based on a “sincerely held religious belief.”

Another piece of Project 2025 hidden in the GOP House DHS 2026 funding bill.

Criticism of Israeli policies is not antisemitism.

Defacing a Holocaust memorial is absolutely antisemitism.

Horrible.
