I think we're done here folks.

Oversight is not optional. We will not stand by while Trump shreds the constitution, treats people with cruelty and spreads fear across the nation. I will not back away from this fight.

Hateful bastards. Gift link; no subscription required. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/h...

Too many people who flocked here from twitter disregarded the block culture here and mocked those of us who warned them. And now, here we are.🤦🏽‍♂️

1. Great ruling out of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit has ruled that there is no "first amendment" religious right to discriminate against transgender customers. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Federalist Society is too woke for Pee Wee German.

Board members were reportedly worried they were opening themselves up to charges for bribery. Which is reasonable since they’re giving Trump a bribe.

This is striking. We now have two Trump-appointed judges directly knocking down Trump's power to simply create emergencies by decree and then assuming extraordinarily sweeping powers on that basis. This is the thing to watch. It's key to their dictatorial project. newrepublic.com/article/1959...

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

It's unfathomable much money and effort is being expended to fight against trans rights, the entirety of the religious right, groups like Heritage, ADF, etc, the whole of the Murdoch media empire, entire governments, and just about every billionaire that's losing their minds in a transphobic frenzy.

RFK Jr. says the top scientific journals are “corrupt”. Yet his MAHA disinformation report includes fake references and grossly false statements. Reviewers and editors at any of these journals would have caught these, resulting in its wholesale rejection. Don’t give an inch to this charlatan.

I cannot express how angry I am at DOGE's rampage of destruction--living in the DMV you constantly meet brilliant people just summarily dismissed from govt--and meanwhile Musk gets his soft focus coverage of how SAD he is about how he's been treated, and Third Way blames trans people for Dem losses.

right: "trans people should be erased from society, they are degenerate monsters" left: "trans people of all ages should be able to socialize and play sports with their peers and receive medical care with a proven track record of success" centrist: "ugh both of you remind me of hitler right now"

eric has excellent news in the quoted post! progress on killing the trans healthcare coverage bans in the GOP budget. but pressure still needs to be applied! the link below contains call/email templates with reference to the legislative mechanism senators could use to kill this part of the bill.🧵

I doubt there’s a bigger liability for democrats than being seen as gutlessly insincere or a worse thing for them to do than lean into it.

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

Further evidence, for those still in doubt, that Newsom is not our guy. He's never been the answer, and he will always disappoint. Always. I will keep saying this until it becomes obvious to everyone. His attempt to get the nomination should be dead before it gets started.

Someone ask Gillibrand why she’s ignoring the serious charges against Andrew Cuomo when she insisted the comparatively minor allegations about Al Franken required him to step down

I want you to keep something in mind because I think a lot of Americans and non Europeans don't get this. If we call you a Nazi we deeply, sincerely believe you are cut from the same cloth as hitler and goebbels. We don't throw it around. So if we call someone a Nazi they are a NAZI. A REAL NAZI.

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.

Begging everyone left of center to rally behind Mamdani and pre-empt the revival of Andrew Fucking Cuomo

unions: they get the job done

So this is a fake group, right? They all just post “queer joy art” with a bunch of hashtags for months and all of a sudden are spamming people’s mentions claiming @distributeaid.org is a scam. Anyone heard of this “queer joy project” or collective or whatever?

Just about every Republican/Trumpist complaint about public transportation is a poorly disguised version of “there are too many black people.”
