OMG WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS NONSENSE! I still have the yellowcake uranium in Iraq issue of the NY Times. They were lying then, they're lying now.

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

This morning in The Bandwagon, I wrote about Clayton Kershaw's pointed rebuke of Pride night, and Josh Hader, who seems to have learned, empathized and changed after his teenage tweets came to light. bandwagon.substack.com/p/36-do-coac...

Trump was never anti-war. He was just anti-losing a war. He thinks he can “win” this one, but when it drags on he’ll get bored and either abandon the project (if we’re lucky) or do something unthinkably extreme to “win” it. Any politician that hops onto this exploding bandwagon should be primaried.

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away. 🧵 of a few groups, campaigns, and individuals you can donate to:

I find it extremely depressing that this account gets so much traction but I understand the appeal. People want to believe there’s a secret resistance movement of park rangers out there. But they’re just cosplaying. And selling merch.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

This is how you actually do it. Create a schism between the cops and ICE. Who's really in charge? The answer is neither of them. The people and the courts are in charge, so let them figure this out with each other. Secret police are no one's allies.

🚨 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. 🧵

Quick reminder that the majority of Americans live in cities, "real America" is urban, and when people scream obscenities about cities they are screaming obscenities about America.
