I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

It's amazing that the movement that four years ago argued we need statues and plague celebrating clansmen, traitors, child killers and architects of genocides past in order to remember history is now covering up monuments to famous ladies who helped win wars and beat nazis.

Almost every one of these stories about cutting benefits mentions that the number of claimants has increased in the last five years. Gosh, wonder what happened about five years ago that might have caused increased levels of illness and disability? Never mind, sure it was nothing

MAGA / MAHA is pushing "please confirm RFK Jr" calls to two Dems: Corey Booker (D-NJ), and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) Really important that we match up, particularly with Booker's office. Please get your New Jersey folks to put those calls into his office.

The Democrats are going to keep posting “What have the Republicans done for you lately other than raise prices?” as Trump drags them off one by one.

It might have something to do with the fact that as entire families were getting wiped out, the Democrats made themselves completely hostile to any criticism. Between removing protesters at the convention, plugging their ears as they walked past, and demonizing college kids, I’m curious to know

Trans people and our rights are not a “distraction.” We are real people who live and die and deserve care and dignity and access to public spaces.

It’s funny you should mention torture. There’s a scene where our heroes torture someone for information that is intended as “comedy”. Final Frontier had issues, but Kirk didn’t waterboard anyone.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ - NETFLIX HAS tried to silence me for calling out racism from the star of their so-called ‘trans movie.’ I'm absolutely LIVID. More info is in the photo, and even more is in the below thread.

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.

More lawmakers need to be unequivocal in their support for protecting trans people from the harmful attacks coming from this administration.

In the world of mobile game advertising, being hired by a solitaire app must be the holy grail. Gee, will I show an imaginary person being mildly competent at solitaire, or being utterly confused by the rules or even what cards are?

Well, we aren’t a month in and we have the first concentration camp. It’s worth noting that for years the Biden admin defended outdoor detention which laid the groundwork for this, but this is still likely going to be worse by a significant degree.

Me with Cat #1: “I love you, Pickle. Did you know that? Yeah. I do. You’re such a sweet girl. You may be the sweetest girl in the whole world. I don’t want to call it just yet, because the returns aren’t in yet, the polls aren’t all closed, but it’s looking pretty good. I’d have a speech ready.”

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I was thinking today about that time during the 2020 election that Joe Biden told an immigration activist not to vote for him. For asking a question.

democrats will continue to lose and lose and lose forever because leftists being rude online is "radical violence" but starving thousands of women and children to death is "policy" and guess which one they're committed to condemning
