Ms. Magazine@msmagazine.com · yesterdayIn 2024, nearly 2,400 women were killed by men, according to the Violence Policy Center. Of these, 86.9 percent knew their killer—nearly nine out of 10.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

Shout out to everyone else who saw "Eggers to direct Romeo and Juliet" trending and really wanted it to be Dave, not Robert. (Seriously, how cool would that be?)
Why don't survivors matter more than perpetrators? And why, to varying degrees, does every culture on earth hate women? Release the Epstein files. Prosecute the rapists.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2d agoEpstein survivor Danielle Bensky: I saw documents recently. I was trying to compile a list of just the most heinous emails, just to be able to bring them to government and say, like, “We need to find out who these perpetrators are,” and they’re all redacted.
The California AG said he would block this from happening. Gavin Newsom said "make it go away, no courts!" Both men are cowards.
I am grateful to Attorney General Tish James for the protections she secured for workers. This decision is a shameful monument to corruption and a betrayal that the American people won't soon forget.
This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through.

No criminal charges in the death of Nolan Wells: Grand jury report
The grand jury reviewing the death of Nolan Wells has found that, based on all the evidence they reviewed, no criminal charges are warranted at this point.

Just watched the press conference w/ Nolan Wells’ mom and it’s gutting. No parent should have to plead for the justice system to actually investigate their child’s untimely death. Racist nightmare.

I know Valedictorians aren't rushing out to work for Aetna Customer Service but: I've now spoken w/ three reps in the past 47 min & they can't figure out why they keep mailing info to my previous address and why they keep sending me cards w/ the wrong drs listed as my PCP. Fuck American healthcare
This is just disappearing people. This would’ve been the stuff of conspiracy theory a decade ago and now it’s in the AP.
Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 3d agoThis will make it nearly impossible to file habeas petitions, because attorneys won’t even know what federal district their client has been moved to to stage for their removal.

Thanks so much everyone for a massive response. I've now had as many emails as I can cope with, so no more please - thank you. They paint a really grim and heatbreaking picture. The neglect and abuse of patients goes on and on. I hope to try to do the issue justice. #ME/CFS

Maggie Harrison Dupré@mharrisondupre.bsky.social · last wk.NEW: Brown Brothers Media is the most successful media company you've never heard of. For years, its success was fueled by AI, fake writers, and fake reporting. When we started asking questions, BBM started mass-deleting content. Somehow, what came next was even worse. futurism.com/artificial-i...
"Bonta has been under intense pressure, including from some usual allies, over Paramount’s reported threats to leave California." Diabolical. NO AG should be onboard w/ the Paramount/WB merger.

I’m lying flat now while my dog is getting groomed. In two hours, I’ll have to go pick him up and start this whole process all over again. #Lyft drivers are nakedly #albeist and #Uber drivers are even worse. My nerves are shot. #Disability #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #Ableism #Cancer
Litsa Dremousis@litsadremousis.bsky.social · 4d agoTook my dog to the groomer. Should be a five min car ride each way. But the first #Lyft driver bailed when he saw my walker. Had to wait for a second one, who was normal. On the way home, the third driver saw my walker and bailed. The fourth showed up over a block away. Wrung out. #Ableism
Don’t you dare @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, do not cave. 5670 film makers put their necks on the line for you to fight this merger. Another 75,000+ and counting have signed to tell you not to concede in just 3 weeks. Please sign to send a message to the AG’s and Paramount. noparamountconcessions.com
Weed is legal in Seattle, as it should be everywhere. BUT! My fellow Seattleite park goers, when you see me sitting on my walker wearing a mask & holding my dog on my lap, what makes you think, "YES! I will roast a bowl right next to her?" Don't get so high that you ignore the social contract.
