society is built to discourage transition. every trans person you see, every trans person you meet, is someone who cleared the filters: epistemicide, abuse, access. some of the people caught in the filters live, to one degree or another. others don't. every time the filter tightens, people die

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.

this is good messaging

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

If people knew all the arbitrary nonsense you have to do to keep up with SEO and Google changes, like how long to keep paragraphs or why there are bullet points at the top of articles now, they'd be a bit more sympathetic about online media.

Can’t believe nobody wants to go to a soccer game to be kidnapped by ICE

Hate it when some paste-eating MAGA fuckknuckle is trending and it's NOT because they're dead. Wake me when Lindell takes a MyPillow full of hornets to the nards

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. “This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

oh no I’ve come to the MAGAquarium by mistake

J.J. Spaun is the most regen-ass name I’ve ever heard. I swear golf is just completely random. whole thing is a scam

Ten years after the raid on Baur au Lac in Zurich, Fifa is more poorly governed than when Sepp Blatter was in charge. Hard to disagree with the signatories of this statement by @fairsq.bsky.social fairsq.org/fifa-joint-s...

"10 years Baur au Lac - world football is more poorly governed than before! Smash FIFA!" Bayern Munich supporters from "Munich‘s Red Pride" (MRP) at the Club World Cup today.

These are the ones raising temps & igniting conflict. They come out in their Sarajevo cosplay & mow down everything in their path w/impunity, including unarmed harmless ppl, screaming like banshees. Yet untrained citizens are supposed to keep these “professionals” under control instead of vice versa

For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.

Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.

happy father’s day to all the tired dads out there. my daughter drew this picture of me. she was a bit uncharitable with the old hairline but the eyelashes are GORGEOUS

this man is realizing what the reaction is going to be when he dies

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

lot of people out protesting in Springfield. I honked for democracy

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Wandering around the sometimes ridiculous things at @awexr.com, I also saw bits of hints at what’s going to show up in hardware to come. A recap, with some VR bungee jumping: youtu.be/NXxqVY9GHu0?...

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

I asked for a translation and I was not disappointed

Idiots. Morons.

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

He does this every Friday.

Wirtz to Liverpool is mouth-watering
