Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

How it started. How it’s going

Democratic "leadership" is useless.

The death of any child is an unspeakable tragedy. Since October 7, Israel has murdered, at a conservative estimate, around 16,000 children.

This guy is increasingly looking like a fifth columnist for the opposition

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

jesus christ, fuck you, man

Resign Schumer!

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The uncomfortable truth is the "Trump campaigned on egg prices" thing is something Dems tell themselves to rationalize what happened in November. Trump actually campaigned on hate and abusing power -- and won! The sorry state of the American electorate is a difficult thing to come to terms with.

Awful Florida appellate decision refusing to dismiss Trump's lawsuit claiming he was defamed by the Pulitzer board giving prizes to coverage of Russian election interferance. And an astonishing concurrence embracing claims of "fake news" and a "hoax." Yikes. 4dca.flcourts.gov/content/down...

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

"It’s disgusting and, frankly, counterproductive to point out that I voted for this. To imply that I had personal free will and agency when I walked into a voting booth and picked Mayor Bomberman is insulting."

Damn it. I was going to do this one, but I thought it was too dumb.

“Screaming. A million mouths screaming but also laughing the sky will bleed and there shall be a great flensing a burning away of the flesh it is coming there is no way to stop what is coming.”

is it uncharitable to say, i hope the new york times leadership gets not one moment of peace after this

I wonder if they mentioned the Congresswoman who regularly goes viral for just talking about what's going on like we're regular people and she's not trying to bullshit us, or if it was all tuna melts.

Former DC District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell’s disgusted response to DOJ’s January 6th dismissals and Trump’s EO is well worth reading. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

So Enrique Tarrio was one of the men who was convicted of sedition -- and he's now been released by Trump. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy. This is what you voted for, America. This is what you wanted.

There are some real good staff at the ADL doing real good work. But we should not be surprised leadership is nonchalant re: Nazis. They've already decided the vast majority of American Jews don't count as such because of our position on Israel. And once you start sorting Good Jews from Bad...

The ADL has proven to be one of the most Pro Defamation Leagues to ever exist. Absolute joke of an organization today.
