Gov. Walz: “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected.” www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...

I am getting tired of saying this but I keep sporadically hearing from people things like your life has no substantively changed since trump retook power, bitch yes it has I have a conscience and I wake up mad every day fuck You lol.

"HIV's ability to conceal itself inside certain white blood cells has been one of the main challenges. ... Now researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, have demonstrated a way to make the virus visible, paving the way to fully clear it from the body."

1/ This made me apoplectically angry, so I unloaded on Pete Hesgeth for scrubbing Harvey Milk's name from a U.S. Navy ship: "Behind these decisions is an administration limply fighting back against any incursion on the power of straight, White men... www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Credit where it’s due: Scott Galloway cooked here

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Can we just all agree that anyone who says Kamala lost by being too pro-trans is just laundering their transphobia via a false narrative of what happened in 2024?

SCOOP: The first wave of DOGE staffers was supposed to be gone after 130 days. Instead, core members of the team have signed on for the long haul. www.wired.com/story/big-ba...

This group exists for the specific purpose of trying to get Dems to throw trans people under the bus.

Today's weird conversation with coworker - trying to explain why I still use Word occasionally instead of completely switching to Google Docs. Apparently it's very confusing that I don't rush to convert everything to a new format and just like to be able to open files in their original program?

The speed with which the mainstream institutions and load bearing media orgs have folded is unbelievable. If there is a chance for libs to control them again in the future, they should be treated as what they are: dogs that have to know their place. This is the language they love and understand.

I'm honestly shocked there has not been an incident yet as the ICE agents not only don't look like Federal Agents, they look *exactly* like mass shooters.

This looks amazing

We’ll end DEI and employ people based on merit, they said 🤡

BREAKING: The opinion of a random person you just encountered online is not, in fact, the universally embraced belief of "the Left" or "Liberals" or whoever else you'd like to paint with a broad brush. More as this story develops.

when Kansas banned trans helathcare for minors this year, Chloe Cole got paid to show up and argue that it was manipulative for trans ppl to bring up suicide rates. afterwards a mom testified about how her only child died by suicide bc he couldn't transition. legislators yawned and ignored her

well he did. IN DISGRACE. Don't rank Cuomo. Don't put him anywhere on your ballot. Instead, #RankTheSlate - Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, Ramos, Myrie, in whatever order you like.

Oh f*ck off Bindel, you gaslighting bigot! 😖 If anyone is in a cult, it’s the ‘gender critical’ transphobic JKR stans, demanding fealty to their beloved billionaire leader! 😣 Apparently, no woman would be anywhere without her, and we should all kneel at her feet in gratitude! 🤮 #FuckOff #DARVO

It's always shocking (derogatory) when someone you were close to growing up goes MAGA, but it's also just as shocking (complimentary) to see your formerly MAGA gun rack 10 point buck shootin' classmate post this kind of meme because his kid came out to him and he's got his back

"Lindsey Graham's Disgusting Tweet About Greta Thunberg Is 'Brain Rot' in Its Truest, Most Vulgar Sense" As the Zeteo contributor set sail on the Gaza aid flotilla, Senator Graham tweeted: "Hope Greta and her friends can swim!" Read @premthakker.bsky.social's article: zeteo.com/p/lindsey-gr...

Horrifying.

Took a day off on Friday (or else I was going to lose a few hours of PTO) and came back in this morning to chaos. Just when I was thinking that things would slow down a little because it's always slow during the summer.

These assholes just want to punish, not help. Don't tell me you're just gonna "remove" people. Tell me you're going to HOUSE them.

Trying to see if I can see the Northern Lights from home... But of course the.moon is bright (not to mention all the other lights)

No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here. Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

June is LGBT Pride Month. Love is love. Be your fabulous selves. A good piece here for any of my friends that want to learn about its history: lordslibrary.parliament.uk/pride-in-the-u…

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

Question: Which @mls.bsky.social teams have not set up accounts over here yet? Who other than #Crew96 are ignoring this platform?

Happy Pride Month! 🫶

New York Red Bulls fans unvei a tifo ahead of their game against Atlanta United last night, depicting the Statue of Liberty in pride colours and commemorating the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York, a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ rights movement.

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.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

RIP. Just one of my favorite times in one of my favorite TV shows.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

This is a vast underestimate of the projected death toll from the cuts to USAID and Pepfar alone.

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?

Jesus Christ.

Tired: Having the world’s greatest higher education system, luring global elites here to learn our ways & defray costs for American students Wired: ha ha fuck that

“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.

lol

Been trying to pop onto Threads more to see what's up and I've just encountered a strong contender for Wrongest Paragraph Ever Written.

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.’

This is a one-night event but is viewable on a livestream (or for two weeks after the performance) and is a fundraiser for a UK trans charity.

the national "fell for it again" awards competition has come to southern missouri. big fan of watching people delude themselves that this isn't what they voted for while the guy next to them smiles and speaks the truth: yes you did, you just feel bad about it now.

new jake tapper book when

just going on the teevee and admitting it's all first amendment violations
