Sometimes when I show up early for my flight I walk in on the arrivals level and then walk right out the door again so I get the extra dopamine rush of *arriving* in a place

Today, the Supreme Court voted 6–3 that Christian nationalist ideology trumps the rights of trans people to receive medically necessary care. The ruling applies to children, but it’s a blueprint for expanding such bans to adults.

After all the crap about TikTok spying, we all knew Meta was doing this but also JESUS
do not install any app from Facebook or Meta on any device. Ideally avoid installing ANY social media app. Login through a browser.

I will repeat this ad nauseum: violence gains us nothing but the enmity of people who are undecided. If we let them provoke us, we will almost certainly have the police state people fear, the police state Trump wants.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Y’all, I’ve been trying to attend my local (Alameda County, CA) Democratic Party meetings for months now. Today I showed up in person and it’s behind a locked gate at the local Teamsters. In the Zoom, they won’t admit you unless you’re a member. How does someone actually join this organization?

Deporting gay people to Russia is inhumane.
Like many queer Russians Borisov fled Russia after the country's Supreme court declared "the LGBT movement" an "international terrorist organization," prompting mass arrests
EXCLUSIVE: Russian Dissident Says ICE Threatened Him With Rape if He Refused Deportation
After three months in Eloy Detention Center, Maksim Borisov faces deportation to Russia, where he says he’ll be tortured or killed. ICE told him U.S. prison would be worse.
