I remember the old days when Fox said it was Biden’s fault.

Welp, there you have it. The "sin of empathy."

Donald Trump just pardoned a violent insurrectionist who *also* happens to be a convicted child sex offender. (Imagine if the QAnon freaks who pretend to give a damn about child sex offenses actually gave a damn about them!)

@aoc.bsky.social to Dems… Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFMhwX2...

1/ “If I don’t steal your house someone else will - so what’s the difference?” We all hear about Israeli settlers stealing Palestinian homes, but seeing it in action is something else. Arrogance and coldness off the scale. This was before the genocide.

Pamela Paul defended conversion therapists stabbing trans kids with needles, presented a retracted study as fact, and boosted ex-trans grifters as a reason to delay and deny medical care And that was just one of her columns at the New York Times. Good riddance to a bad person!

A big reason the tech billionaires are so interested in government now is they’re not innovating or building anything of value so they need protectionism & monopolistic leverage

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy: How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

🇺🇸 agency dedicated to tracking and exposing Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world shutters: “The GEC long faced scrutiny from Republican lawmakers… It also came under fire from Elon Musk…”

Anti trans activist Benjamin Ryan previously reported on spurious accusations that Boston Children's rushed trans youth through assessment. The Boston Globe spoke with actual families and they completely contradict those blatant distortions. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/03/m...

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

Didn’t quite expect @mcuban.bsky.social to be hand feeding me so many accounts to straight block. Between quote tweeting crappy accounts to the replies on his being full of them as well.

How bathroom bans actually work.

I want to remind everyone that the far right sees transgender people as being worthy of segregation out of general society, "separate but equal" treatment that of course, is never equal. So much so that Iowa Republicans literally tried to redefine the word equal to not mean "same" or "identical."

Republicans are saying Target’s Pride merchandise is why they had a poor third quarter Except… this year Target barely even had anything. It was so scaled down it was practically nonexistent. It wasn’t even available in most stores. Republicans are in “blame everything” on queer people mode.

Well I guess if I have to.
