If I had the Huppert shirt, it would be my favorite shirt by far, but I could never wear it out of shame and the fear someone knew I spent $825 on a T-shirt. Even if I made high six figures, it would be so embarrassing. I don't know how people buy Balenciaga. I'm going to find a bootleg I think

The Trump campaign’s promise to round up all the immigrant criminals has run into the most obvious problem of all; they’re actually aren’t that many of them. So instead, they’re going after the low hanging fruit of immigrant families and children, all to juice the numbers.

Its weird how often the policies designed to protect women are actually just policies that infantilize women because women aren't capable of knowing what they want.

This is a genuine betrayal of humanity at large. The war against HIV and TB -- diseases that have claimed countless lives -- have been hard fought. We've managed to get both on the ropes. And now the death cultists mean to see them come roaring back

This is corruption in plain sight. Musk is getting sweetheart deals for his companies, DOGE is helping him do it, and the President is cheering him on. This isn’t about government efficiency, but making him richer.

This is truly remarkable. It also violates the Federal Principles of Prosecution and DOJ ethics guidelines. This should make Martin unconfirmable, but it also means he shouldn’t be in office in the first place.

Judge Ali’s order required them to halt the blanket suspension under any name, but said they could still make individualized decisions on contracts. In a naked effort to get around this, they claimed to have reviewed thousands of contracts individually and independently decided to terminate 90%.

The language, as described, is superfluous. It is already constitutional and federal statutory law that the administration must spend the money that Congress appropriates. Congress’s power of the purse fundamental to our system of government. And yet, it’s a red line for Republicans to include it.

They keep closing down options, cutting protections, stripping rights - as expected. These actions are illegal. Please let your voice be heard to support trans people; contact your state and federal lawmakers - tell them NO WAY. We will rise or fall together in this.

“The argument is not just that trans youth should not access hormones or surgeries, but that trans youth should not in any way be recognized in public space or even supported privately at school.” We must refuse to comply with a politics of intimidation that seeks to shun and erase trans people.

I'm not a Democratic strategist, but even if one believes that focusing on trans rights is not a winning strategy, surely nobody supports the government spending extra money to switch people's gender markers on passports

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access
