when people argue that democrats shouldnt stand up for transgender people, i want you to substitute "transgender" in your head with "black" "latino" "asian" or "women" and understand why its a non-starter. either we all have equal rights or none of us does. this is simple.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Ms Rachel got attacked for refusing to erase the children of Gaza so she responded by making a music video with 3 yo Rahaf, a double amputee from Gaza who lost her legs in an Israeli strike. Be a bad-ass like Ms Rachel. My toddler loves her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtq-...

It’s really something to see Republicans go back and forth between “colleges are bad because we can’t find manual laborers anymore” and “the immigrants are stealing our jobs”

look man if you do not police your own side then it will be policed by the actual police

Someone at the CDC is living the most important slogan of the moment ("fuck you, make me")

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

yeah this is me as well I think. it's not that the "look at the hypocrisies of liberal democracy" stuff was like, *wrong*, it was frequently right on the merits, it's just that there was a real lack of introspection into what the likely alternative to "the hypocrisies of liberal democracy" was!

This is such a good example of "turn every page" journalism - nothing less fun/glam than clicking through every footnote. And it's roughly 10,000x more newsy than the thumbsucker RFK profiles reported with big travel budgets.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

Dispatch from 26 Federal plaza where plain clothes federal agents detained at least 7 people leaving immigration court, plus a priest attempting to observe the arrests. www.thecity.nyc/2025/05/28/i...

ok I worked for a social platform that grew juuuuust enough to get sold before dying (and then got mashed up into TikTok along with other acquired apps) so I think I have some expertise relevant to the “why is Bluesky losing active users” conversation I can’t see all the metrics but…

the deportations are not final. the regime and security forces fuck up constantly. escape and survival are not just possible but probable. this nightmare engine can be fought and is being fought. don't forget.

I'll never forget when I once saw a post from a GOP county party in the exurbs of Nashville that said "We believe in the Judeo-Christian God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit"

This Jew stands with Ms. Rachel, because I think violence against children is bad and expressing support for children experiencing violence is good. Why the fuck do I have to say this?
