Ohio may be 45th in GDP growth and unemployment, and #1 in corruption, but have no fear…the guy who led OH economic development efforts in recent years is still bragging he used AI to eliminate millions of words from regulations. 🙄 This guy is so beatable.

Trans people have the same free speech rights as anyone else, and we are individuals who use that speech individually and without coordination, just like everyone else does. We're far from the only community to have members who can be a bit rude online, too. Ever heard about of Taylor Swift fans?

“The NIH monopoly on directing scientific research should be broken”. Project 2025, page 462. RFK Jr. and Bhattacharya are falling right in line with this document produced by the right-wing extremist Heritage Foundation. Academic freedom my butt.

If this were Joe Biden, Jake Tapper would be doing an entire week on ‘Who is actually running the country when many people are speculating that the president is senile.’ Only this is Trump so it’s yet another day of ‘Oh, that’s just ol’ racist strongman grandpa, you know how he gets.’

As we approach June and Pride Month, I'm asking #Crew96 fans to join in this year's Prideraiser, benefitting Kaleidoscope Youth Center.

I want to point out that, even if you accept the lie that the person in the photo is a real trans activist, JKR’s point that if trans people are threatening TERFs, it means they aren’t really oppressed is incoherent. Oppressed people have been threatening their oppressors for all of human history.

Everyone at this network and the people they represent would lose their minds at the suggestion we have anything to learn from Europe in terms of walkability, bikeability, transit access or even universal healthcare. Much easier to say it must be something about the food.

Really important to recognize here that the MAHA crowd talks about "toxins" and not pollution. This isn't about cleaning up the environment in meaningful ways; it's about undermining every goddamned fact about human health in dangerous, ignorant, and cruel ways.

Update: This happened last night—Senate Republicans went nuclear, overruling the parliamentarian and blowing up the filibuster to repeal California's vehicle emissions standards. Many Republicans will likely cite this precedent as reason to bypass the filibuster to pass the reconciliation bill too.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

I said this about Luigi Mangione and it holds true today with the horrific killing of two Israeli embassy Staffers. You can't choose what vigilante violence is moral of justified because the only person that actually calculates that is the murderer. That's why it's bad.

This is probably the most important take of these times. R’s are expected to be idiots so when they burn the country it’s nothing out of the ordinary while D’s must meet a level of near perfection to not be picked up by every outlet.
