"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Chat when trying to consolidate authoritarian control over the military, is it generally a good idea to humiliate 100s of soldiers whose lives you just threw into chaos with a random deployment for being fat by replacing them w/ other soldiers who aren't fat but whose lives you are also disrupting?

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

“I spent three nights in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.”

- George Retes, U.S. citizen & veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.

Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.

Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 21h

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

The firehose of easily disprovable lies from Trump and his allies continues to get worse each month, with one statement after another completely untethered from reality, which is why it is so important for them to take ownership and control of media platforms & intimidate others.

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

It's Sunday my "antifa" adjacent friends!!

That means we've survived another week of physically and mentally weak people who think they're "alpha" everything. They are not🤣

Today's giggle is from the fabulous duo of Tina Fey & Amy Pohler playing Noem & Bondi.

Stay safe y'all!

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
