I know it's cringe as fuck, but small acts of kindness are going to be so important for the foreseeable future.

Being kind and doing kind things can be your lifeline. It can keep you sane.

Why do women on college campuses spend so much time focused on their outfits, unlike this totally normally dressed man?

Imagine what it must be like to work at the CDC, have no one in the government care that your HQ was the site of a mass shooting, then see Charlie Kirk's death treated like the most historic event since Jesus's, see your life's work be undermined, and then you and all your coworkers are fired.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

NSPM-7 seems to be one of the most important stories of the year and somehow the only places I've seen it covered are @theonion.com and the QAA podcast.

I suspect one reason they hide their identities is to conceal past restraining orders and DV arrests.

I can't emphasize enough how important it is that the next attorney general set a team to go through ICE records with a fine tooth comb and prosecute individual agents.

It's the only way to stop this from happening again.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

This should be a model for every elected Democrat. Speaking out fearlessly and proudly about protecting the rights of transgender people.

Stop reading polls and start leading. This is how you change minds.

I can't say enough how incredible this is.

This is why the party is afraid of Mamdani. Because he's NOT afraid.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
