y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI

I truly believe we will look back at this attitude as *the* sickness of our political era. It is an extremely basic fact, and has been for decades, that the vast majority of political violence in the US is committed by the right! You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to identify it.

TRANS RIGHTS I’LL JUMPKICK YOUR MOTHER

Jesse Singal is cited 3 times in the amicus briefing for the decision to allow states to ban youth gender-affirming care www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23...

True story, I have only ever been genuinely creeped out by a *statue* once before: the life-sized Aztec statue of Mictlantecuhtli at the Templo Mayor Museum. utterly horrific aura surrounding that thing. a work of genius.

TRANS RIGHTS END OF DISCUSSION

"trans right's movement's shortcomings" next day: suicide hotline removes LGBTQ+ option, SCOTUS rules against healthcare for trans youth FUCK YOU ALL.

Puberty blockers and hormones for cis kids: fine Mastectomies for cis boys: fine Puberty blockers for trans kids: ILLEGAL Mastectomies for trans boys: ILLEGAL

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

There are endless politicians who sold themselves one way and ending up being turds. And then there is John Fetterman who appears to have had a Freaky Friday swap with John Bolton’s mustache

This is bravery and decency. This is what people upset about this administration want. If you really believe this stuff is wrong, and you have a public profile and principles and want to say you're a leader, then get out there and do the damn thing.

I just caught up on that press conference and am kinda stuck on that one!

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Trail cameras for the win

Things sound a bit touch and go with Hoffman yet: “John is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every hour to being out of the woods. He took 9 bullet hits. I took 8 and we are both incredibly lucky to be alive,” Yvette Hoffman said on Sunday. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

This is how fascists pursue a one-party state—by using the law, law enforcement, and even the military for expressly partisan purposes, targeting the opposition party (while also lying to justify the action, because undocumented immigrants can’t/don’t vote).

It’s so funny how every time one of these guys ruins their life doing violence for the fascist cause all their heroes are like “actually he’s a trans communist and a federal agent.”

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Mike Lee can suck a butt

A nightmare. 🙏🏾

I get this instinct but at the same time it was Obama’s “nuanced” approach of targeting immigrants w/ criminal records that skyrocketed deportations and reinforced the idea that immigration is a public safety issue (rather than about labor, family, and refuge) ultimately giving the right more fodder

TOO MANY INTERNET

I wanted to be so productive this weekend and I’ve just been in a fugue state

waht

“An acknowledgment that Mr. Trump is the legitimate president” the fuuuuuuck?? That’s…the right’s claim about Biden?? Not the left’s claim…about… I just…

This isn’t surprising but this NYT piece is precisely what happens when you take conservative bad faith critiques of liberals and democrats at face value. “Don’t do the things that you weren’t doing but that people paid to hate democrats say you were doing.”

At yesterday's protests in Atlanta, police arrested the respected journalist Mario Guevara—clearly ID'd as press and, crucially, known for tirelessly documenting ICE abuses—for livestreaming their crackdown. He was booked on charges of "obstruction" and "pedestrian walking on or along" a roadway.

One important difference being that the Republicans know how to harness the energy of their ultra-ideological flank, while the Democrats spend incredible amounts of energy and money trying to neutralize theirs.

It’s been 28 hours since the assassin was photographed in Minneapolis. It’s been 24 hours since a Bearcat punched into a N Mpls house connected to this man. Nothing from the mayor in 22 hours. Nothing from the Chief, or Public Safety Commissioner. WHERE IS OUR CITY LEADERSHIP?

Instead there is a push for story after story about "polarization" and "divided America" - in my experience this is almost always the framing from those making editorial decisions.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

So. We have no idea where Vance Boelter went, huh.

Man, these motherfuckers…the Santa Fe Springs swap meet is right down the street from where I lived in Norwalk. Swap meet is a whole thing. My gf and me went there after church sometimes. She was from Michoacán, got her citizenship under amnesty. Every vendor here is worth 100 ICE agents.

I no longer view the crisis before us as a GOP vs. Democrat issue, and I haven't for a long time. This is a profound issue of choosing to fight supremacist politics, of necropolitics-- of whether you believe it's worth protecting people's right to live with a measure of dignity and respect, period

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

I can’t believe they were so close to him and he’s still just…gone

What do you mean turning the army into shot girls for Dana White’s energy drink isn’t what you voted for?

Oh hey, the little shit who was throwing Sieg Heils and arrested for brandishing a firearm at today’s No Kings protest in Nashville cosplays as a Nazi and does WWII reenactments in Linden, TN. [insert surprised pikachu face]

Monkey paw’d ‘im

these are our brothers and we should be building a better world together

cop shoot cop

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Thank you to the LAPD for radicalizing thousands of more people against them. Every time you tear gas people, a radical gets their wings. Lots of people don’t want to believe it will happen at a “peaceful” protest but it does and it will.
