4 in 5 Native women will experience violence in their lifetime. 97% of those perpetrators are non-Native. Why? A 1978 Supreme Court ruling, Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, said tribes can't prosecute non-Natives who commit crimes on their own land.

Line 5 has carried oil through the Straits of Mackinac for 73 years — 23 past its intended lifespan. This week, tribal leaders from the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and Saginaw Chippewa rallied at Michigan's Capitol calling to shut down the pipeline.

There was a time when most working class voters didn't merely vote Democratic by default, being Democratic voters was core to their identity. A time Dems took sides, saying there's capitol & labor; we're with the latter. Where they relished angering the rich. /1

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

But the record makes clear that it is the GOP generally, and particularly the Texas GOP, who are completely obsessed with trans children. Just look at the party manifesto they issued just a couple months ago—it talks of almost nothing else. bsky.app/profile/atru...

JD Vance obliviously decries "grown men who seem to be pretty obsessed with trans children" as an attempt to smear Talarico

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

I’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

I don't think that you need to or should claim that a particular political issue is a "winning" one to demand that politicians stand up for human rights.

This man won his primary by 30 points.

Ed Markey@edmarkey.bsky.social · 2d ago

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

I think given the circumstances and the fact that we've 'made it' this far, coordinated early voting is a perfectly reasonable strategy in the face of competitive authoritarianism. Give the libs this one.

Indivisible ❌👑@indivisible.org · 2d ago

Leah Greenberg: For the first three No Kings Days, we delivered a powerful message that we were not going to fold in the face of authoritarianism. And now we are taking on a new challenge together. We are turning our protest power into voting power.

Let's see how many Democrats speak out. They seem to be A-OK with this as well.

Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social · 2d ago

The fact that Islamophobia is welcomed, championed, and cheered at this Republican Convention. People are chanting to hurt and shoot Muslim American candidates. It will barely be mentioned this weekend. I assume journalists will ask Democrats to condemn Hasan Piker instead, right?

just sharing this again to remind myself and everyone that no matter how fucked up shit is, there are millions of people all over the country who are finding ways to stand up for each other and say NO and keep fighting. find your people and fight alongside them. ❤️

The chant you're hearing is "FIRST! DO NO HARM!" Huge high five to everyone who came out to the protest at Mount Sinai over the hospital's deal with Trump to end gender-affirming care for trans youth. 🧵 of photos to follow!

This “noticing” talking point comes out of white nationalist/neo-Nazi circles. Typically part of antisemitic conspiracy theories.

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

It's a nightmare. The Miami Herald will no longer have reporters on the "Miami" nor the "Miami Beach" beat. They cut the investigative reporter who discovered DeSantis diverted $10 million in child welfare funds to a political campaign. Two weeks ago, a grand jury found the $ was "misappropriated".
