I would really love it if mainstream journalists would seriously consider the possibility that RFK Jr.'s politicized HHS under Trump is as accurate about gender-affirming medicine as it is on autism or vaccination.

Tolkien's notion of evil can be summed up pretty simply: the domination of others. Stripping away their freedom and their will, forcing them to do yours instead. So whatever his authoritarian fans might think, their actions are, in fact, textbook Tolkienian evil. #TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday

I can’t make you watch this. But I would if I could! 🙂 Seriously, though…for a number of reasons this is an important speech, that I’d put in the must watch category. youtu.be/zMndfvxVeRo?...

House GOP leaders are telling the rank-and-file not to spill the beans about their plans to slash Medicaid. MAGA Republicans are constantly scrambling to deny their actual plans because we Americans reject their top-down warfare on the working-class majority.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

A real leader doesn't have to keep telling everyone they're a leader A really cognitively aware person doesn't have to keep telling everyone they're cognitively aware. A real genius doesn't have to keep telling everyone they're a genius

If you're a 70-something-year-old man and you're constantly talking about how well you did on a cognitive test, you might not be very cognitively aware.

don’t ever give up… you never know when you’ll see a white star twinkling and the beauty of it will smite your heart and hope will return to you and the thought will pierce you that in the end the Shadow is only a small and passing thing and there is light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach

Hey, so it's National Library Week. You're going to see a lot of calls to get a library card and check out books. All well and good. But I'm going to ask you to do something a little more supportive: speak up.

transphobes don't actually have opinions on science, they just think they're so enlightened that their beliefs must be inherently scientific

How does the current occupant of the White House divert your attention from Signalgate and telling Americans he doesn't care if they spend more money. By threatening all of us with a 3rd term MEDIA, DO NOT FALL FOR IT. DON'T FOLLOW THE SHINY OBJECT. STAY ON SIGNALGATE.

I don't particularly care--nor should the Democrats--whether or not protecting trans people is popular in the heartland. Even if it alienates the "moderates," it's the right thing to do, and the Democrats should make every effort to do it. Sometimes what the people need is to be led and not lead.

Why are we letting the Trump administration make us debate whether the attack info was classified, or war plans? If an enemy or a journalist had obtained it wrongfully & made it public, is there any doubt in your mind how the Trump government would’ve treated them? Let’s not play their game.
