Good day Oilers fans!

Woot woot woot!!!!!

For my @msnbc.com column this week, I wrote about exactly what the Republican anti-trans budget bill would do to trans people on Medicaid. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

Elon is always lying. Therefore, we must focus on what Elon feels the need to lie about. This "I'm so backing off" lie shows: a) the #TeslaTakedown worked b) the #TeslaTakedown must ramp up He's going to be pulling the same shit & the media will be inclined to push his lie that he's backed off.

And he's not the only one. There's also his fellow afriKKKaner Peter Thiel. And a whole cadre of other billionaires and sub-bil tech bros and prison industry slavers and real estate land lords. Extractionist technofuedalism makes everyone's lives worse in the long run.

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

God damn Andor S2 Ep8

Marco Rubio literally had a student kidnapped off the street for co-authoring an oped criticizing her university. And now he's complaining about censorship?

Universities operate on timescales that are incompatible with the whims of specific administrations. Research takes years or decades and agencies cannot make entire fields pivot on short timescales, which is a reason previous administrations have had the wisdom not to try to micromanage the process

Immigrant rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra has been in ICE detention for months. She saw her social media page on an officer's phone. "I said to him, 'Why are you monitoring my social media?' He said, 'It's public.' And another one responded, 'We finally got you.'" www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNz8...

Not directed to David in general when I say this but I think the US / West in general does not really grapple with how universally angry the Arab public consciousness is. People often say "the Arabs don't care" because they think only of the pro-US regimes, but the Arab publics very clearly care.

Real game 4 woots!

Oh FUCK this. We're not idiots. We know, from watching our neighbours to the south, exactly how this goes.

Trump corruption story so bad it gets the rare straightforward NYT headline www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

This is, at base, an argument against Democrats participating in politics. The idea that the left wins by entirely ceding the creation of public opinion to the right just doesn’t make sense on any level. There is no amount of scrutiny to which it stands up.

Seeing people suggest that Vader and the Empire would never condone Imperial Officers being power hungry abusers that exploit and even threaten sexual violence is one HELL of a take.

our public health agencies are being run by eugenicists they want to take away the medicine which allows people born w/ chronic health conditions to live healthy lives thinking of the girl i went to school with born w/ Type 1 Diabetes—these monsters want to see people like her suffer & die

Five yrs out “demonstrators say they are still contending w/ intense trauma and long-lasting injuries... What’s more, settlement money has been swallowed by mounting medical debt, legal fees & other costs associated w/ being wounded.” Our dear Linda Tirado and so many others stories featured here

Hard-hitting interview with Macho Man Randy Savage in this previously unscanned issue of Xbox Nation (March 2004)

This is the second time in one year the FBI has visited me over a document I lawfully published. If you want to know why media constantly refuses to publish things, here's why.
