the HPV vaccine is fucking incredible, period end of that's it

“We are taking back your papers, you have no papers now” is even more chilling than “show us your papers”

Kansas legislature overrode the Gov veto on a nightmarish anti-trans law, so today's a great day to send some funds to the pipeline.

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

Okay, I love everything about this.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

Thank you so much for this.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Gah “A most excellent”

Almost excellent thread breaking down all the details and references in Bad Bunny’s halftime show. So good (so helpful!)

I just confessed this very thing to my husband!

Wow. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Absurd.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

The graph speaks for itself:

Lake Oswego theater loses rights to screen 'Melania' after marquee jokes - Lake Oswego Review Lake Theater & Cafe announced that it will no longer show “Melania,” the Amazon Studios documentary about the first lady, after Amazon revoked the theater’s rights to the film. “Got […]

I'd donate to this place simply for that advertisement alone.

The Washington Post - Opinion Little to gain by raising taxes on the rich New research shows the current top federal income tax rate is close to revenue-maximizing.

Truly hilarious headline from the Bezos-owned Washington Post yesterday.

Never, ever let the guys who control half the wealth in America and just got billions of dollars in tax breaks tell you we shouldn't tax the rich.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

"We know enough." Gut punch.

1. Start the thread from the beginning and then listen.
2. Get a transcript of this man's speech to read at city/county council meetings if detention camps are coming to your area.

We all know enough.
