Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

Non-white women are going to be accused of being masculine or gaining an edge, when they defeat white women who fit the western ideals of femininity. All that white women will need to do is accuse their non-white opponent of not being a woman. And men will come to destroy her to feel “protective”.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

In college, Laura Ingraham went to a Gay Students meeting. The next day, she published the names of everyone in attendance in the school newspaper, at a time when being outed was dangerous. So, yeah, appointing a menace to gay people is a GREAT selection to lead our nation's [checks notes] arts.

Trump claims to be committed to ‘free speech,’ but we’ve quickly discovered that pledge doesn’t apply to higher education and now, PSLF. He wants to impose an ideological litmus test antithetical to American values and contrary to the statute at hand. @rweingarten.bsky.social @thesbpc.bsky.social

In light of the news about Columbia, I want to reiterate a point below by me and Levitsky: universities, collectively, are among the most economically powerful and geographically thick sectors in the US. If they stood up together in opposition to this tyranny, they would be incredibly powerful.

Brian Krassenstein - FACT CHECK: Trump says the Canadian Tariffs are all about 'Getting them to stop the flow of Fentanyl'. FACT: ICE seized a total of 0.03 pounds of Fentanyl last month along the northern boarder. That's 0.48 ounces or approximated the weight of a AAA battery. Trump Lied #cdnpoli

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Not sure who needs to hear this, but - Trump winning by 1.5% (with under 50% total) - House Rs winning a 3 vote majority - all while campaigning explicitly on an agenda of NOT enacting Project 2025... is definitely NOT a mandate to enact Project 2025 or slash and burn our Constitution.
