Not only is it bad to be antisemitic about Stephen Miller for the obvious reasons, it’s also boring and forgettable. On the other hand, I’ve had this @jennieberney.bsky.social tweet about Jared Kushner saved for eight years because it’s so random but correct:

In addition to calling your senators on the daily as we brace for the gutting of Medicaid and the ACA, I want to encourage people to start connecting with others about how to defend healthcare in an environment where every insurance carrier is rushing to shed as many types of coverage as possible. 🧵

Did that thing where in trying to clean up my hard drive I deleted a bunch of files that I probably need so now I have to restore yesterday’s file thus undoing all my work 🫠

Just cut my hair to the length where it air dries cute and tomorrow’s going to be perfect air drying weather, other than completely fucking up two door panels on my car today, everything’s coming up Millhouse.

Not that that would make it better but like all the rhetoric around this, this is framed like there are trans athletes across the country instead of like five people

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Listen it’s an elephant graveyard but that means there’s no risk of CT3 getting cut for performance. He’s been sent to a big farm upstate to run around with his friends and I bet Mike Trout will text him a daily surf weather report.

One thing I go back to, again and again, in the “debate” over trans girls in sports, is the rank misogyny of the conceit: not just that cisgirls could never compete with a trans girl, but that trans male athletes are erased entirely. Heads or tails, girls, women, & trans men are perceived as weaker.

The Democrats need us much more than we need them and if they continue to abandon trans rights, they’ll learn that the hard way.

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

short call script for cis women: “I’m a cisgender woman, and I don’t want trans girls forced to out themselves or be excluded from athletics. This will increase bullying and hate crimes. If you want to help support women athletes, reverse your proposed budget cuts impacting CSU athletics programs.”

I finally watched Conclave. I like that Ralph Fiennes has the same energy as Kermit the Frog trying to keep The Muppet Show from going off the rails.

Please let your friends know - the “Protect Girls Sports” campaign led by the GOP candidate to run ALL public schools in CA is just vile. Just the meanest mean girl shit you ever saw. She showed up to a track meet to out a trans kid to strangers & heckle her. Do everything you can to stop this.

“Waves of immigrants enter our beautiful cities, cities so gorgeous that everyone wants them. These immigrants, they come in, and they censor Americans. Gangs tell people to hush! It’s a woke hush. If you say Christmas they put a hand over your mouth and make a zipping motion. Biden let it happen”

I love to officially call Gavin a flop and know his aides have to write that shit down. State Assemblyperson Lowenthal's aide seemed less than thrilled by my call, but shout out to Senator Gonzalez's aid who fully agreeed and advised Lena is still trying to be an ally for the community , bless

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

California friends, please call your state reps and challenge this cowardly bigotry! Ya'll fought to keep this kind of transphobia off the ballot last year and enshrine trans protections into law, and these bastards are trying to sell you out!
