You hear this a lot on the left but it isn't true. USAID did not "fail to tell its story to Americans," the right targeted the agency with lies and misinformation. Ultimately this narrative turns conservative attacks into even more calls for the left to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/o...

"no one wants a government handout" It's OUR MONEY. Our. Money. Every purchase, every paycheck, every year's filing, we pay into taxes. That is alllll a government money is. Our money, pooled in hopes it can be used to better everyone's lives, not to provide a "government handout" to the rich.

Seriously. You know who has great messaging? Cancer researchers! Literally curing cancer! Sells itself! Still got fed to the DOGE woodchipper. FEMA and the National Weather Service got fed to the DOGE woodchipper, too. Nobody thought poorly of them until the right did the thing they always do.

Most people do not realize how much your boss has always hated your fucking guts and wanted you to suffer. They make money when you work and the more desperate and dumb you are the better that works.

Fundamental Christian Republicans on Fox News are now openly “100%” questioning the “commitment” Jerry Nadler, Brad Lander & Chuck Schumer have to being Jewish and claim that Jewish Democrats (who are at least 70% of American Jews) are “work[ing] against the interest of [their] own people.”

NEW: Democrats have used SCOTUS rulings to galvanize their base — but they won’t do that with Skrmetti, which green lit gender-affirming care bans One Dem said it’s now a states issue Another said trans issues don’t poll well A third pointed me to the Cass report www.notus.org/democrats/tr...

Mamdani gave a nuanced answer about "Intifada" so nobody cares, but here's a Republican Congressman spreading the conspiracy that the Pritzker family, a wealthy Jewish family, is trying to turn kids trans. This is a common conspiracy on the right that combines antisemitism with transphobia.

Blaming people getting detained and removed by ICE for not handling their “paperwork” is an obvious indicator that someone does not understand the US immigration system and still chooses to comment. It's extra bad coming from people who are next on the menu, too.

I handled my paperwork perfectly and I’m currently at risk bc of a clerical error made by USCIS during covid lockdown, which I have now spent years and thousands of dollars trying to fix. Fighting for immigrants will require USians to shed their delusions about law and personal responsibility.

I’ve been saying this since the decision. So anyway .. if you’ve ever told a disabled person to “call the ADA” (lolz, not a thing) or you told us to “just sue,” you’re about to find out …

submitted 18 hours ago • 1 comment

The thing is, there is absolutely precedent for this: The ADA. The Americans with Disabilities Act damn near requires you personally act to get it enforced. It basically only gets enforced if someone with enough resources can fight for it to be applied in their case.

We live in a mafia state now. We are ruled by a tyrant who has bent Congress and the Supreme Court to his whims. Anyone who dissents--not just university presidents--will be targeted. This is what authoritarians do and there are few guardrails left to spare us from what is to happen next.

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

There were trans people in this world before the first king was born and there will still be trans people born into this world after the last king is dead. Monarchy is a pernicious, poisonous idea dreamed up by vain, grasping little men. Transness is an intractable fact and facet of human life.
