a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

At its heart, American conservatism is a fantasy. It’s a vision of a world too evil to be saved or cared about, and fearsome enough to justify any and every impulse toward cruelty and violence that a…

Is this not straight-forwardly a declaration of civil war?
Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

At this point in American history, it's beyond irresponsible to be a political reporter and not have complete familiarity with groypers (and their conflicts with Kirk).

Sorry this is my nurse brain speaking but this security team of Charlie Kirk's... Did they call 911? Apply pressure? Feel for a pulse? Attempt CPR? Ask for the AED? They apparently rolled him up in something with his arms flying everywhere and threw him in the back of an SUV. Am I missing something?

Massachusetts is the only state in New England that does not have a probibition on the trans panic / LGBTQ panic legal defense.
For those unfamiliar, this is when someone hate crimes one of us after sex, and claims that they "didn't know" our orientation, and that that "panic made them do it."

Behavioral health nurse here, wondering if there's a music playlist designed for our patient population and those of us who care for them. I'm thinking about how Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle has been my favorite Nirvana song since 1993, looking for patient-forward themes like this
