Largest trans survey ever finds the top reason transgender people stop transitioning is transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community,” the survey found.

The official X/Twitter account of the Montana Young Republicans (which in its bio claims to be "chartered by" the National Young Republicans) posting what a photo of what appears to be Rhodesian soldiers.

dudes rock

I think she thinks she’s getting SECDEF

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

Reminds me of this one

I don’t like to swear. And I have many friends at the New York Times, who I love. But with all my heart: fuck the @nytimes.com editorial board for their idiotic, tortured, uniformed, fear-mongering, mealy-mouthed, bullshit mayor’s race op-ed. First, let’s talk politics. What’s it doing? (1/5)

Whether it's Democrats putting flyers on Chris Cillizza’s Tesla or Republicans assassinating Democratic lawmakers, it's time for both sides to turn down the temperature.

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

All snark aside about the terrible Atlantic piece in favor of the fascist parade or the general downplaying of #NoKings, if you're going to take action, it's helpful to know that MSM orgs rarely support acts of protest. As a rule, they dismiss protestors or paint them as violent thugs. Be prepared.

Just moving straight to Khmer Rouge within 6 months

Small but underrated part of restoring healthier civ-mil norms would be retreating from the fucking OPERATOR TACTICAL aesthetic of service members to more traditional dress uniforms, etc. in terms of public presentation, etc. People that have desk jobs should wear the desk job uniforms, for example

Please, sir, Governor Onion, sir, harm protesters in the specific way I would like. In Onion's Name, Amen

Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.

The Minnesota assassin supported Donald Trump and had a kill list consisting entirely of Democrats and reproductive rights advocates. But it's unclear what his political motivations might be.

Wonderful gift from @erikatebbens.bsky.social who 100% understands my energy

fuck Boelter

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

Seriously, MSNBC’s David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasn’t happening.

@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

My husband became a US citizen yesterday and he took the little flag they gave him to the No Kings protest in Lansing today 😍

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

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.

One Minnesota.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

Trouble is: people covering the parade are not people covering No Kings The people assigning, headlining, & laying out articles, if offered a choice between a glowing obituary & 1 extra cent in the take-a-penny-leave-a-penny, would ask if they could write their kids out of their will for 2 cents

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage. With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

New York deserves better than Andrew Cuomo.

"Whats this line item?" "Counterintelligence, sir" "It says they bought over 10,000 pizzas in FY25?" "Yes, sir"

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

*whispers* liberals and leftists making alliances to take power away from centrists is good, actually

I absolutely think there's a problem with people trying to shoehorn symbolism where the author is trying to immerse the reader instead of conveying a symbolic order. For some reason, people take this to mean that some of the most archetypical symbols in literature just aren't.
