everyone who said dems needed to be fighting for every single inch and delaying trump’s staffing and govt funding as much as possible was right. everyone who said to lay low and wait for trump to self-impeach was wrong.

one of the many shames of the Biden Administration is that even during his presidency Canary Mission and LibsofTikTok, among others, were straightforwardly involved in violent terrorism and not only did he do nothing about it he allowed their ilk to be normalized

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies" What's Title VI? "prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

Worse actually

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Guardian [Apr 23] -- Folksy trans singer-songwriter Bells Larsen forced to cancel US tour for new album after learning his visa application would be refused because the M on his Canadian ID doesn't match his biological sex. He is unable to reapply for 4 years now. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

From our Maryland investigations, PREA Resource Center had online resources factually describing how PREA protects trans women in prisons from rape. If I had to speculate, it's probably related!

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: one of the most exhausting aspects of being trans is constantly being called a secret child molester by a bunch of (not even all that) secret child molesters.

Who could have possibly predicted that TERFS would immediately pivot from transmisogyny to overt racism? Oh, wait. It was trans women. Trans women said this is exactly what would happen.

Understanding that they know this will kill people and that is the point of it is important here. They aren't trying to save money. They are trying to kill queer children. And they also cut resources for NCMEC for queer children, showing that they want the children to be raped and killed as well.

A generation of infants are being born HIV+ today who should have been born HIV-free because one of the principal propagandists of AI bullshit in the world dismantled PEPFAR and USAID.

little piece based off one of my favorite shots in all of jet lag from the schengen finale. very special moment with @adamchase.bsky.social & @thewheatgerm.bsky.social appreciating their surroundings :)

for alito especially, racism is fake, anti-LGBT bigotry is fake, and the only real discrimination is against conservative christians who can't make public school curriculum by decree

The US should have to pay tens of millions of dollars to Khalil in damages after he is freed.

I have my problems with any Pope, by definition But you gotta hand it to Papa Francisco for coining the phrase "theirs is the construction site of hell" in a description of American fascism and then dying almost immediately afterward

Star Trek at times has tried to become Star Wars and it’s been terrible, but it seems like this is the first example of Star Wars trying to become Star Trek and fuck yeah! Let’s fucking go!

I’m a little confused about why I cannot right now watch the a 12-movie series about the last master of Afro-Colombian machete fencing. That feels like an oversight by someone.

i often see things that make me say "this is the most Boston thing I have ever seen in my life" but i think this one might have swept them all

disco elysium nailed it when it comes to the democratic party. They don’t really have beliefs.

this is always the thoughtcrime

Short term, I shoot myself in the foot. Long term, it's good news. I learn to walk without the foot. I do a three-legged hop, a tarantulan creep. Babadook-like movements. People will ask "why do you do this?" and I will say "it's important I blow my foot off for no reason." They respect this.

It’s beyond negligent that we haven’t upgraded air quality in schools. It’s all upside. Less communicable disease, less covid, reduction in student and teacher absences, better concentration and more. Kids can’t protect themselves. They need the adults to fight for them. We’re letting them down

something like 75% of the people on that plane were proven to have absolutely zero criminal records, and they ALSO have House reps, and those House reps have offices to picket and phone lines to tie up "So-and-So just did ____, why can't YOU do that???" is a pretty good attack in these cases!

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Right because they are not running for re-election. I don’t know how else to say this. They. Aren’t. Running. For. Reelection.

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

EVERYONE: “if they deny due process to non-citizens, they can and will deny it to citizens too” SMUG IDIOTS: “I would simply show my birth certificate and clear it all up!” [ICE kidnaps a U.S. citizen] [shows birth certificate to judge] [judge shrugs] “sorry, can’t help u”

Since this point is going to be made a lot these days I really need cis commentators to ask themselves for a second why there are only single digit trans high school athletes in an entire state.

given the blatant human rights abuses and crimes against humanity, the most moderate position from the democratic party in this moment should be that they prosecute and lock up the entire trump administration and heavily sanction el salvador

it's making me crazy that the uk court essentially ruled trans women are not women because you can't change your sex and trans men are not women because they did change their sex how can anyone take this shit seriously? It's a farce

$110 to play games online, steamOS home console your time is now

It's also just mad when you consider the fact that the pre-2013 ban on gay marriage INCLUDED TRANS PEOPLE WITH GRCs! A cis man couldn't legally marry a trans man. Married couples where one partner transitioned had to get divorced to get a GRC, whether they wanted to or not!

That’s right… Bill Kristol?

When the photos of war crimes at Abu Ghraib in Iraq emerged in 2004, the George W. Bush admin had to at least publicly pretend to be horrified and taking actions to address it. If that happened now, the Trump admin would gleefully make an AI-generated Studio Ghibli-esque image of it to gloat online.

Helen Lewis personally blacklisted trans and trans-supportive writers from the New Statesman, a power no trans or trans-supportive person has ever wielded in any mainstream publication

If defining womanhood by biology was the key to women's freedom and safety then women would already be safe and free

Progressive activists are being disappeared and deported and we are still getting conservative whine-fests in national outlets
