CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Whether it's the right-wing political turn or run-ins with law enforcement or even the rise and decline of popularity, Conor McGregor's life serves as a mirror to the state of present-day MMA. What you see in him can be observed more broadly. From my Substack: lthomas.substack.com/p/conor-mcgr...

Hey @schumer.senate.gov what happened to your post about how taking healthcare away from trans kids is a diversion from taking healthcare away from everyone else? Did you realize how stupid the thing you said was? An apology rather than a quiet removal would be better than the shit you said.

It is pretty funny that even after Musk has fed this thing a constant diet of Nazi propaganda it is still smarter than your average Fox News viewer

a lot of journalists need to be taking a long hard look in the mirror after seeing Tucker freaking Carson challenge a politician more effectively than they've done over the last decade

If you’re still of the opinion that “protests don’t matter” I’d like you to take note of all the quisling Democrats this week who are belatedly noticing that their future careers now clearly depend on them fucking DOING something

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.

"instead of listening to a podcast I just ask AI to tell me about a subject" buddy just have a grade school child, the answers will be just as suspect, the energy will be much more enthusiastic, and you cannot split a milkshake with chatgpt for fun

what always bothered me about the "Trump 1.0 was better than George W. Bush" argument is that it was true in a vacuum but also just a function of circumstance. if Trump had been in office on 9/11 the response would have been absolutely insane.

Imagine 5 million people leaving their homes just to let you know that you’re a despicable asshole

Trump and Miller going more insane than usual means the protests are working. They thought the public would cower in fear of morons wearing camo in the middle of a city and instead they got flipped off and shown asses

One of my favorite pics from the No Kings rally I attended this weekend in Dallas. @darthbluesky.bsky.social

Stephen Miller looks like he sleeps inside the husk of a long-deceased birthday clown

So did the Red Sox consult with the Mavs on how to make the worst deal possible

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

This is ESPN's second "OMG you guys Aaron Judge homered off the Red Sox!!!!!" story in as many weekends. The Yankees lost both games in which Judge homered and went 1-5 combined over two series.

I’m bet other countries watched sad expressionless guys in tanks roll down an empty street and a sad old man half asleep while his wife ignored him and thought geez we should respect him more

Check out fucking Pravda over here

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

Reminder that most "red" states have a sizable population who're gerrymandered out of power. Support those who resist!

i've seen bigger crowds for free samples at trader joe's

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.

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

Liberal stronghold, Waco, TX

They came out in Fort Worth Texas. Thousands turn out for the #NoKingsProtest . All is peaceful. There are people of all ages. Reporter Amelia Jones talked to a mother and her 14 year old who hope to make a difference. Police are not in the crowd.

Something I'm focusing on on is that no matter what, no matter how many tanks roll by, Trump's birthday party is going to be unsatisfying to him. He's going to end the night alone and pissed off eating a bag of Hershey's Kisses in front of the TV and pissed how the foil sticks to the Kisses.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

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!

The body language of a man about to say the dumbest shit you've ever heard.

Not sure this is an effective rejoinder to the charge, implied and explicit, of being a bitch

Kristi Noem Appears With Bandage Over Ear Struck By Words

A landlady of mine in Los Angeles was the woman who poked the Pillsbury doughboy in the stomach in the commercials.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.
