This is one of those things that’s going to be followed up with a news story involving the words “tragedy” and “parents file lawsuit”

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Exactly. The root here isn't that bigots have some philosophical concern which compels them to care about what appears on someone else's government ID. Rather, the purpose is practical and malicious: to force trans people to disclose it—and, often, to explain it—every time they show ID.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Just disgusting.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

This is America. The only way you get to be king is if you have your birthday at a fast food place in 1987.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

Love to start a tariff war with a dozen-plus countries that have a digital services tax because a couple tech billionaires think they don't have enough money. Very good and sound use of trade policy for the benefit of the American consumer. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Zelensky: “Our people are free. To be honest, we’re fighting precisely for this…The legitimacy of comrade Putin is recognized only by comrade Putin himself. Only Putin elects Putin. Russians are the scenery, with only one performer on stage.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

I can’t just sit by and pretend I’m not seeing what I’m seeing So, like, the Nazis are in charge now huh? I literally just watched multiple WWII documentaries over the past few months. It’s not funny, it’s not a joke. Like WTF. Grandparents & ancestors who fought this rolling in their graves now

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Mitch McConnell couldn't vote for Tulsi, but could with Patel? Please. it's all choreographed. they know they have the votes so, they let them vote no to appear "moderate"

This will go down as the real end.

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

This Fourth Estate--what is this Fourth Estate that you speak of? Other than a few indepedent media outlets here and there, I am amazed at the eunuch brigade we have in newsrooms. They are just allowing their power to be run over roughshod while their billionaire owners laugh and sneer at democracy.

The modern GOP was defined by Reagan at the Berlin Wall. It is now defined by supporting a dictator invading a European nation. This is the Republican Party’s legacy.
