Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?
The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Thank yoooooou, lovely!!!!😘
That stuff is VILE

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won
okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.
So @underthedesknews.bsky.social is urging folks to call your Senators especially if they are the 8 yes votes and demand they vote no on the next round. This isn’t over. Like I said earlier: it’s boots on necks time. We raise hell and we don’t abandon folks w/ ACA.

🧵Spotted Recently on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) in a dinosaur shirt is MOST disgruntled. Looking up at Mum with an offended frown he states emphatically: "We are IN THE WRONG CARPARK! The toy shop ISN'T HERE!"
Mum doesn't seem to grasp the gravity of this situation. (1)
This is literally treated as radical, outside-the-bounds of normal political discourse.
But Elon Musk gets $1,000,000,000,000.
Enough to by every unhoused person in America a $1.3 million home.
Enough to cover federal spending on school lunches for 57 years.
Credit where due, fucking with air travel was genius MAGA move. It impacts upper & middle class and, more importantly, a powerful business interest. Starving millions of poor people doesn't piss off Wall St.
We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced...
👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...
To be clear, this deal still needs to go through a debate and amendment process and more 60-vote thresholds to pass the Senate, and then it must pass the House. There's still room for constituent pressure.
Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.
They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.
Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
Hehe
I want to be extremely fucking clear that you don’t get world-class writing and reporting on marginalized communities without HIRING MEMBERS OF THOSE COMMUNITIES TO DO IT
ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier).
People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.
Washington residents who have not yet voted: Our Secretary of State and local election officials recommend returning your ballot to an official county drop box or in person at a voting center, rather than mailing in your ballot. Recent USPS changes could delay postmarking.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.
Every ad so far: Drug that sounds it will kill you, AI, AI, Gambling, Drug that sounds like it will kill you, AI, Gambling, Gambling.
What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.
FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.
Where’s the outrage about that?!
still can't get over what we learned today that the actual story is elon musk just copied enough of wikipedia word-for-word for grokipedia to be useful but rewrote all articles related to him to be more favorable, leaving out facts he doesn't want people to see or talk about
Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
