Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

“When you’re erasing communities’ histories, that is, in a way, an attempt to erase those communities themselves. It sends a pretty clear message that your story is not welcome here — and by extension, you are not welcome here.” - Nina Wallace of @denshoproject.bsky.social

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

No more waiting to get a drug approved in the US. All you have to do is bend the knee. FDA commissioner will now issue vouchers to companies he finds aligned w national priorities to shorten their drug application review time to 1-2 months instead of standard 10-12 months. See how fascism works?

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

If I've learned nothing else from being in a Buy Nothing Group, it's that the overwhelming majority of Americans have zero understanding of what a "best by" date is and how it differs from an expiration date.

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

Collins: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

Q: "Have you called [Tim Walz] yet?" Trump: "I think the Governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling. Why would I call him? I could call him, say 'Hi, how you doing?' The guy doesn't have a clue. He's a mess. I could be nice and call him, but why waste time?"

Would love to have reporters dig into this incident, which is reminiscent of the Portland arrests of protesters in black vans. My additional question: did these black vans even have government plates?

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

A criminal gang has taken over the White House. It's not a group of "conservative politicians." It's a criminal gang run by a convicted felon. It's breaking laws every day. It's kidnapping people. It's soliciting bribes and extorting businesses. This is not a political story – it's a crime story.

Watching on C-SPAN. Even the people in the parade look bored. My husband just now: "This play list. Eighties music. It really is tailored to Trump's stuck-in-time mindset, isn't it?"

This is downtown Santa Barbara right now. The No Kings protest stretches for over a mile along the water. The cars who drive by are all honking in support. Probably the biggest protest this community has ever seen.

I think that the MSM is terrified of being targeted by the Right. It shows in their coverage. They aren't scared of the Lefts and that too shows in their coverage.
