We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Some people aren't old enough to remember endless debate in Congress about going to war with Iraq after 9/11. Endless. Because Congress had a say so. Because we had a Constitution. Yeah, fun times, then. Now one dude with dementia and a small dick complex just decides for himself.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Every time I see someone say "there are no trans kids" I wish I could adequately explain to them what it's like to be 7 years old, tell your dad that you wished to be the girl on the trapeze, and to be spanked for it. To have your dollhouse thrown away in front of you. To pray to wake up as a girl.

1. On Tuesday, Congresswoman Sarah McBride gave a interview with Ezra Klein at the New York Times. It has been used to seed the ground for a rightward shift in the Democratic Party on trans rights. Some allies have failed to grasp the problems with her approach. Here's what McBride gets wrong.

I can't believe we're still hearing about this woman! This is the thing with so-called "gender critical" aka TERF people: it's not just one aspect of their lives that they refuse to see reality on. It can be so many other aspects as well!

This... 🤦🏼 there is however a small problem : Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, had made it “absolutely clear” that hostilities ceased only after Pakistan requested a ceasefire, and that no third-party mediation had taken place.🤷 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Via @slicingupeyeballs.com on FB. I didn't find out about Information Sociey's major-label debut album or their hit single until October, when it became a "Hip Clip of the Week" on MTV. Once I saw the video and heard the song, I knew for certain that I wanted to do music for the rest of my life!

I mostly knew him from the Ernest P Worrell movies and TV series, but he also did a lot of other acting as well as painting. He also played The Big Bopper in "The Buddy Holly Story" that starred Gary Busey, which I find pretty cool!

Imagine thinking “Don’t vote for a corrupt, serial sexual predator that killed seniors and took money to cover it up, for Mayor,” is some radical or inconvenient take within the Democratic Party. Ignore the lobbyists and billionaires. Don’t. Rank. Andrew Cuomo.

Reducing anyone to a mere body or anything similar is completely abhorrent! We are all human and each of us have a body, but we shouldn't be considered ONLY that!

1/ Some trans women don't necessarily want to "slay." The closest I come to "slaying" is the rare moments I wear a dress. Seriously, some trans women want to be butch, just in the way that women can be butch. It might seem like that'd defeat the purpose of transitioning, but I assure you it's not!

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests. Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.
