What about Harvey Milk’s family Jake

the best part of all of this is knowing that if dems ever got back into power again, they would be like, "well we can't just undo all the stuff he did illegally, we have to do it through a process" and then all his changes will never go away

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Justice Sotomayor: "Today's ruling ushers in that new reality."   "Exposing students to the 'message' that LGBTQ people exist, and that their loved ones may celebrate their marriages and life events, the majority says, enough to trigger the most demanding form of judicial scrutiny."

all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Working on getting it back. Slow but sure progress!

Huge news today: Big Balls Out. Also, Big Balls Out.

Go fuck yourself all the way off, Apple. A complete breach of trust.

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

what do you mean nature valley granola bars aren’t healthy. they’re literally in a green box

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

In case you need one, here is a *direct* line from the bullshit the @nytimes.com has published on trans issues to real, consequential anti-trans policy.

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

my trans child and I will dance on these pigs' grave together

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

People on here reading a LOT into the scantest wisps of nothing—unsourced tweets, photographs from afar, rumors of rumors. I’m gonna need everyone to step away from the keyboards, okay?

1700 protesters in Bismarck! 3000 in Fargo! North Dakotans are not going to take authoritarianism lying down!

Proud of Minnesotans

It’s a North Korea style dictator’s parade for his birthday, dumbasses. How sad for you people opposed to tyranny are “dampen[ing] the mood.”

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

Democrats are obsessed with the phrase “we need answers.” Answers on what!? It’s all on film, man. There are no remaining questions.

"Liberate" them from their democratically elected leadership? So a coup, then?

Happy Pride Month to this Diva

They are going to kill us all. For what? A tax cut for billionaires?

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

I just got back from The Phoenician Scheme, and it’s freaking great. Yeah, it’s not Asteroid City or Grand Budapest Hotel, but it’s up there. Career-best dialog, but the plot gets in the way, and it’s not as poignant as his best.
