He nails it.

Wise man…

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

Between this and picking fights with the military....

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous. Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

“District Judge Ana Reyes interrogated Trump’s ‘demeaning,’ ‘biologically inaccurate’ and ‘frankly ridiculous’ language... ‘Would you agree that if the military is negatively impacted [from the use of pronouns], we all have a lot bigger problems than pronoun use?’ Reyes asked.”

I genuinely believe Trump can't stand Zelensky because he's the genuine article that Trump has been trying to LARP as his whole life. Not saying Zelensky is perfect, but he's willing to put his ass on the line for his people. He's stood up to Putin. I'm sorry my country has let Ukraine down.

Susan Collins chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee and has the power to push back against the Trump-Musk misuse of federal funds. If you live in Maine and are ... concerned? troubled? worried? ... let her know and let her know often.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Regrettably I think there is a strong chance this loathsome unamerican creep will keep his job. Keeping him is a flex, like rehiring the “normalize Indian hate” guy was. They are steadily dragging the Overton window to allow more overt white nationalism and racism.

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

"Operation Whirlwind" sounds like some kind of Soviet military action designed to crush a Warsaw Pact state trying to get its freedom. Because that's exactly what it was:

Look, I'm actually not bothered by the idea of studying how stress impacts men's health. What I really want to know is why they are so into bizarre health conspiracies- they'd skip a physical and spend hundreds of dollars for a redlamp for their balls. Just why?

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

We have thousands of workplaces deaths in the US every year, not to mention serious and sometimes disabling injuries. Workers deserve the safest possible workplaces- no one should die for $18/hr.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.

Remember boys and girls, The majority NFL talent are BLACK. The Super Bowl Halftime Show was unapologetically BLACK (finally) The haters are crying because their team was soundly beaten by the DEI team. The halftime show was the final straw for them LOLLLLLLLL

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage. Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

EFF just helped file a temporary restraining order to stop the Office of Personnel Management from illegally sharing personal data with DOGE.

Trump has made Quebec patriotic. And they say the man never works miracles. (But also fuck him and his abuse of Canada, a good neighbor if ever there was one).
