Friends have asked what enriching summer plans my youngest child has. The answer is: locking herself in her bedroom and making Chappell Roan fan art.

Done! Get those calls in today people

Please call to protect LGBTQ kids 🌈🌈! Today is CRUCIAL to ask CA state assembly reps to support AB1955 - the SAFETY Act to stop forced outing in CA. Stop religious extremist school boards! Call again if you have already!

My kid spent all day doing this, and it’s honestly fabulous.

what is the NYT version of this headline, “at CPAC, flag displays prove a broad coalition of ordinary conservatives and firebrand activists flourishes”?

Still jarring to see this just plainly said in a headline www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Totally agree. Since ppl keep sending this to me, I didn't profile Chaya, my story focuses on the harm she's done to LGBTQ communities in Ok and the quotes from actual LGBTQ people in my story FAR outweigh the comments from her (which we contextualized heavily) www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

How Libs of TikTok became a powerful presence in Oklahoma schoolswww.washingtonpost.com Far-right activist Chaya Raichik splits her time between California and Florida. But it’s Oklahoma where she’s arguably had the biggest impact.

As others have pointed out, the Chaya Raichik interview took place outside Aroma Coffee and Tea on Tujunga in the Studio City / Valley Village area. Would not be a surprise if Raichik lived in this part of LA or the Valley, given her prior focus on LAUSD schools in Sherman Oaks.

Everyone’s giving Elon shit for buying into the conspiracy theory that the white supremacist gang roaming around NYC wasn’t actually them. However, to be fair, he is the expert on how white supremacists actually operate.

in the opening of roland emmerich's 1998 Godzilla movie, a homeless guy sees Godzilla come out of the ocean and does the cartoon "blink, then throw my bottle of booze off the pier" routine. couldn't film that today, due to woke.

Don’t know how the rest of you Philistines spent your day, but I spent my day seeing ART!

I actually think most mainstream journalists would benefit from spending a good amount of time on everything from Truth Social to Gab and Stormfront to recalibrate their understanding of who poses the real threat in modern American society

I just wish open Nazis were treated with the same level of contempt by the news media as annoying 19 year old college kids

I didn’t get the WB / Paramount merger before, but I now understand it’s because the 2 water towers want to be friends.

sort of hesitant to point this out, but for all the very well-intended calls for people to care equally about the lives of israeli and palestinian civilians, there seems to be vanishingly little attention let alone care given to the ongoing atrocities in sudan wapo.st/3FSVcqM
