The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment. This is a campaign of eradication.

Ukraine deserves better than this, and I am embarrassed to be governed by Donald Trump. I didn't vote for him and never would. I'm so, so sorry.

You're going to hear a lot of DC types going on the record to say they can't figure out why any of this is happening. It's really quite straightforward: this is happening because MAGA is a eugenics project, this is eugenics. www.marketwatch.com/story/social...

good piece. I think the perspective of this guy--feeling awkward and uncomfortable with trans issues but coming around when meeting them personally--describes a lot of people www.thebulwark.com/p/transgende...

It’s probably an irrational reaction but seeing Zelenskyy treated this way just feels to me like it has something to do with the fact that he is Jewish As I said I don’t think it’s rational but my gut is screaming

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Trump is expected to declare English the nation's official language. America is an Italian word. California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Florida are Spanish, and a bunch of other states have Indigenous names.

This kind of productivity rhetoric is fueling the gender counterrevolution. Because if men have to be "extremely hardcore" to keep their jobs, then they have an incentive to find a tradwife to take care of them and to buy-into the man-fluencer message that women are just happiest at home.

I come from a family of programmers, and while I can only write baby code, I am still deeply and personally offended that this "tech giant" doesn't understand COBOL. Maybe instead of violating the terms of his student visa, he should have actually gone to a few classes.

The Hungarian govt keeps reiterating that they will ban Pride. The EU is doing exactly nothing as far as I can see. Shared European values!

You can confront both the class war and the culture war; they’re not mutually exclusive. Throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus isn’t going to stop the rapacious Trump/Musk cuts. And it’s not going to help Democrats’ prospects, either.

Once, Iowa was a pioneer in LBGTQ rights. Now this state is a pioneer in taking them away because it's being held hostage by a bunch of petty little fascist fuckers, led by the grand high cunt Kim Reynolds.

Still at $125 .... Hey my state removed my civil rights protections today. I at least would like to not be on the struggle bus for meds while I process this ... and then I have to start a fundraiser to get the hell out. This place is not safe.

This is part of a push to ban trans women from all government jobs, from all sensitive jobs, from all jobs of significance and worth. While folks chortle and giggle about the gross out misinterpretations Rufo makes of ordinary medical conversations, he is ginning up a push to see us banned.

I hate how Elon Musk's fury over his daughter's transition has led to toxic policy that affects every trans person in this country—and beyond. Nobody voted for Musk.

A wealthy old white guy wrote an oped saying the Dems need to roll over and play possum the same day another white guy's oped said The Coup had failed and was over, the same day NBC killed several shows hosted by POC. That's all you need to know about who's fighting for and against the status quo.

To answer some quick questions about my latest story: - It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see - It does not impact American citizens - The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States - It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere
