i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

There is absolutely nothing surprising about anything that is happening now. Fuck every single person who voted for this, and every single registered voter who stayed home.

Jean-Marie Le Pen, the French far right leader, died today. If you wonder how many French people feel about that, these are the scenes of celebration on the streets of Paris this evening. One sign reads “The dirty racist is dead”. (🎥 Luc Auffret)

While it is important to make sure folks understand that attacks on trans folks and their rights are the opening salvo to obliterating the rights of many other groups, it's also important to remember that if these attacks truly began and ended with trans folks alone, that would also NOT BE OKAY.

This, right here. The festering orange turd has never cared about precedent, norms, or the rule of law; pardoning Hunter changes absolutely nothing about the felon-in-chief’s future actions.

Anyone who is surprised by any of these nominations, or who is reacting with incredulity at how terrible they are, has not been paying attention for the past 8 years.

Talked to my MAGA brother tonight. “Woke” has entered his lexicon, but he obviously has no idea what it means. The corporation that laid him off on the 35th anniversary of his employment, somewhat suspiciously close on the heels of a year of stroke-related paid leave and reduced working hours, did
