texas, man, i dunno

Elon has done this before, remember? It worked then.

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

The reason we need to defeat Republicans is to keep trans people safe. If you’re willing to abandon trans people to beat Republicans that means you’ve decided to start by losing, and you’ve taken a path that won’t even beat Republicans in the election you’ve chosen to make meaningless.

The guy is a Nazi who created generational harm and hates every Democratic constituency. The fact that any Democrat would “welcome” him when he is political poison is why the party is struggling: it lacks core beliefs. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

I very much think this is, in part, about invalidating significant parts of Biden’s presidency, specifically his pardons. I think Trump and people around him very much want to put Schiff, Fauci, etc in jail in the next year or so.

So, did they have to do a full background check and financial disclosure (including debts) like the rest of us? Last 7 yrs of foreign travel? Parents’ birthplaces? Proof of current place of residence? People who can attest to your address and character? Verification of education + prior employment?

This is the correct response to this fascist incitement: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Someone (maybe me) is going to write a book titled "Just Following Orders: How Ice Became the American Gestapo."

she's not defying him! he isn't her boss! he can't fire her! you quisling lying sacks of shit!

It is amazing how many Dems insist that Dems have done things they absolutely never did, but which Republicans insisted they did.

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his *sincerely held antislavery views*

Reversing a crazy, woke, left-wing policy implemented by... Rick Perry.

i sometimes wonder how much of the constant litigating of gripes and complaints is a function of the fact that many democrats seem to be as interested in proving their seriousness or independence to the *political press* as much as anyone else

like, this administration has kicked a series of real and serious problems into motion and, while they all take time to snowball, they’re spending that time fucking around with biden old instead of trying to mitigate them

this is going to be dishonest and profoundly cruel, and i think it’s also very likely to backfire on them

Imagine if Dyson vacuum guy came to America, embraced white nationalism, and people with no personality were like “he will create a vacuum so powerful it destroys black holes and also he is #1 meme troll 😂😂😂”, except that wouldn’t be as stupid bc he had something to do with the inventing that vacuum

trans kids are not “a wedge issue” they are children jfc

Once a TV huckster, always a TV huckster. These aren't "audiences." They're people. The reason these folks didn't go on the exchanges in the first place is because they don't make enough money. Oh, and they're cutting the ACA subsidies too so even more people will lose insurance.

This was an absolutely remarkable moment, I thought! Like this dude made a bad spot worse!!

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.

Columbia completely caved and are getting their accreditation pulled anyways. Anybody that doesn't go nuclear on these people when they even sniff at you is nuts. *COLUMBIA NO LONGER MEETS ACCREDITATION STANDARDS, US SAYS

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

The screenshotted text here is literally telling a lie: the bike lane did not end in the old configuration of this area, it merged onto a shared use path. The driver who hit and killed the cyclist *left the roadway and drove onto the pedestrian and cyclist only path*.

Cuomo/Hochul a fascinating test case for if Cuomo was the "worst above replacement" democratic governor. Hard to argue he wasn't! His legacy is mostly stagnation, hubris, and catastrophic failure, followed by an exit rather than face accusations of harassment, all built towards a cynical mayoral run

Violet DuMont, a transgender student from Tucson, addressed @gallego.senate.gov directly. “Hey Ruben, if you can’t stand up for trans kids, maybe Congress isn’t the right place for you—and let’s find another activity for you to make fair competition,” DuMont said. azmirror.com/2025/06/03/a...

Say Goodbye to Your Data & Privacy, Say Hello to Palantir & the Mass Surveillance State Billionaire Peter Thiel's company Palantir has received millions from the Trump Regime to compile data on Americans, which will be abused for mass surveillance & profit. thelefthook.substack.com/p/say-goodby...

Currently my favorite distraction on TikTok is this man who is CLEARLY in like, THE BEST shape, finding things that other athletes can do (and often the things they're doing are typically femme) and seeing if he also can do that With the "assistance" of the best dog named Dootie I love this

Another excuse to delay and do nothing after threatening new sanctions 5 times in 4 months. When Biden was president, Trump wasn’t saying he needed Congress to act. He also didn’t say that on the campaign trail. He said HE would stop it in 24 hours with one call to Putin.

Why do all three of these men look like they’re going through a wind tunnel
