petition to let all of us [redacted]
Please don't report this as a straightforward business story; it's a story about coercive social transformation being imposed by people so rich they've ceased to see the rest of us as legitimate stakeholders in our own lives

petition to let all exes of billionaires [redacted]
Melinda Gates pitching for justice for the girls (now women) who bravely came forward against the most powerful people on earth (including her ex) and to stop using the Epstein Files as some abstract concept of a political football is 🔥🔥🔥
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

currently eating some of the cookies I got from a trans scout earlier this month—this could be you!!
Hey everyone!

Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!

But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.

I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

I am v. sad to hear about dan mcquade, whose writing I followed sort of not-on-purpose—in a "wow that was great, oh shit of course it was dan" kind of way—he proved that with a big heart and enough curiosity about people/things, you can make something lovely out of literally anything

extremely rude of someone on antiques roadshow UK to have brought an item painted in 1998??? i come here to relax and you’ve upset me

“professional-grade logistics” lol bro this is like average coordination with your kid’s friends’ parents for going sledding at the Good Hill later this afternoon
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

the moderate position remains “straight to the hague do not pass go”
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

the meanest thing a european has ever said to me while traveling was when i was working in italy — i declined a cigarette from a guy who then silently lit one, took a drag, exhaled and said, "all you americans think you'll never die"

you don't have to watch more awful video but it's apparent what these insults to bottom-dwellers, absolute scum of the earth motherfuckers find exculpatory: their victims being visibly queer, being joyfully defiant, being unafraid, being women

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”
