this weekend an armed man stormed into a tent where the Democratic candidate for the governor of Ohio was speaking
he shoved people down to get closer, was stopped by security
he had two guns and a taser
it was in the news for like six hours
that's the country the US has become

and make no mistake that cults don't always look like Charles Manson. sometimes it looks like convincing young men they're unloveable and its women's fault. or convincing women that being really skinny is the only way to be attractive. sometimes like refusing vaccines. or hating trans people

This is wild. In late 2025, federal and state officials kept a Mexican woman in custody for almost a month by repeatedly rebooking her just before her 72-hour time limit ran out. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

NEW: Evidence filed in a Colorado case reveals how ICE officers are arresting people without a warrant, which is illegal unless ICE determines the person is a flight risk.
A man was dragged from his car after ICE showed him a warrant for someone else and refused to check his ID to see his identity.

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year.
Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

The most inconvenient truth in the world right now is that trans people are in the early-to-middle stages of the *fourth* historical attempt to genocide our entire community.
When I hear "you have to support Democrats no matter what", I think of the trans people wiped out by the Inquisition while politicians stood by, I think of the trans people wiped out by the Nazis while politicians stood by, I think of the trans people wiped out by AIDS while politicians stood by.

ICE’s Camp East Montana is a hellhole. It’s been open less than a year and three people have died there, including the first-ever homicide in ICE detention (allegedly at the hands of guards). Both DHS and Congressional watchdogs have documented extensive problems.

Please for the love of G-d stop ranking causes. Stop creating hierarchies of marginalized people. Because "x group is more important than y group" just means "sorry, x group has to be willing to die until we get to them."

I’m now receiving AI voice bot calls from a temp agency. It is, as far as I can tell, recordings of a real person, messily stitched together to attempt a conversation.
I applied for a job with QPS over 14 months ago. Now they’re spamming me with this fishing trash.
