increasingly obvious that congressional dems have seized on the "distraction" thing because it provides them with an excuse for doing nothing about any concrete issue and instead complaining about some general principle that they think plays well in focus groups

remember that these people oppose trans healthcare for children because giving children agency over their bodies makes it harder for them to get away with preying on them and they see themselves entitled to sexually abusing children

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Trans rights are the issue because human rights are the issue. This is ICE and immigration, this is LGBTQIA+ survival, this is women's health and choice, this is Muslim bans and murders, this is THE ISSUE. Do people who aren't white conservative Christians deserve rights? That's the issue.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

This isn’t the point but when is the last time Chuck Schumer marched anywhere?

insane to write this about bluesky and not about Twitter, where the replies of every post are filled with bots, MAGA trolls, and the most credulous folks on earth asking AI to think for them

why did we let anyone other than the engineers of the noble honda civic even attempt building for space flight www.theverge.com/news/689183/...

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

Can’t overstate the extent to which twitter is an open sewer now

Fascinating reading stuff like this by right-wing pubs (this one written by a guy who has "two AI girlfriends") because it's the same thing every time: people were mean to me for exhibiting loser behavior, please don't look at the actual usage stats.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

oh my god

these women are so focused on emphasizing that liberal women are UPSET, but they have decided to be HAPPY, without examining or changing any of the conditions that might be upsetting. it's like reading the feminine mystique and concluding that betty friedan should just cheer up a little

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

And the person who turned up to support him with no notice is the Muslim dude who have cross endorsed each other and who the msm has been going into overtime to cast him as antisemitic
