We cannot tolerate Dems who want to just “turn the page” and “focus on the future”. Merrick Garland is how we fucking got here. Swift, hard legal accountability for all these people is absolutely the only way forward Also ICE must be abolished, that is not an extreme fringe position

Every rich person that sees this should find a Trans person on. This website and send them a thousand dollars because you can and we all need it.

Alright, I have read the ADHD article and here is my completely amateur opinion based on the anecdotal evidence of being a parent of an ADHD kid and a lot of interaction with parent IEP groups: you need the mixture of meds and environmental changes. A lot of people want it to be one or the other.

In 1941, the US Ambassador to Belgium interviewed Hitler. When Life magazine published it, they prefaced it like this:

I found this an interesting but maddening read. Interesting for the research, but maddening for how it was written, focusing almost exclusively on children, using “he” as the pronoun for every hypothetical child, and spending a lot of time on how ADHD symptoms annoy parents and teachers

The point of DOGE has never been savings, it’s to install political commissars and paying tech in every federal department to persecute and prosecute anyone not sufficiently loyal enough to Tyrant Trump.

If I were an editor at a prestigious national publication I would simply ask writers to define what they mean by words like "forced" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"gender affirming care" is when i get my eyebrows done, or when people i knew switched to she/her pronouns after i came out to them. sex hormones are changing my biological sex characteristics.

Yeah, the battles of neurodivergent and trans people are essentially the same battles (though trans people have it *far* worse). Same enemies, same tactics (right down to "no NHS shared care"). It's the same battle.

A democracy that doesn't rely on personal responsibility to prevent fascism is possible and what we deserve and what we owe our kids.

Missed my HRT shot this week and I didn't realize until I started tearing up at a random news story. "Huh. Something's.... different. This normally doesn't happen unless... unless...." whoops

this level of frothing misogyny makes me feel weirdly zen—if men hate women enough to justify nuking the entire economy in order to take them down a peg, well, there wasn't really anything that anyone could have done to stop it

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

what they said ⬇️

This has to be against the Hippocratic Oath You have children who need help, you know what the best treatment recommended internationally is, they're already taking it, and you're legally required not to help them at all Really disgusting www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/11/w...

*Women* were mostly absent, as well. Because it's a stalking horse for taking away women's rights. No one who actually cares about children wants people who don't want them to have them. Reluctant motherhood is not good for kids.

Resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act included mobs, but increasingly came to include open defiance by state governments. Personal liberty laws. State court habeas writs. Officials assisting and shielding people. Federal courts ignored. Frankly a kind of anti-slavery nullification and interposition.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy. I guess if we add some horny Nazis next year maybe CNN will come out and listen to what we have to say?

people keep saying “We are becoming North Korea” or “We are becoming Iran” because the average liberal will turn to blatant orientalism before facing the true horror of America’s decline: We are becoming England

It would appear CNN was also at the eugenics conference? Why are all these mainstream news orgs at a 200-person event where all the speakers are eugenicists and racists? www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/u...

Like the coordinated release of multiple legacy media articles about the pro-natalism conference, this, too, is fascist propaganda

Wow Curtis Yarvin is fucking dumb, huh? And I don’t mean in a ‘everyone who disagrees with me is an idiot’ way, there are some people who have espoused views I find abhorrent that are clearly intelligent, like he legit does not know what he’s talking about.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

A cis woman literally pointed at me (sitting in a chair, playing ace attorney on my Nintendo DS in a waiting room) and said I was scaring her and that was all it took for the police to descend upon me and beat me until I was permanently disabled by my injuries & now I don’t have the right to vote

Following up on this. They just banned a Canadian trans musician from getting a visa to tour the US. They're straight up banning trans people from entering the US. www.stereogum.com/2303977/bell...

Julie and I grew up in the same redstate city, help her get to the relative safety of the PNW 🏳️‍⚧️

The number of people who respond to this with “filibusters do nothing” or “they have to vote no!” makes me think that way too many people do not understand current Senate rules.

Right but the tariffs are going to fucking destroy the UAW membership's jobs.

Me trying to explain fascism to students: "A lot has to do with fear of supposedly stable gendered boundaries blurring, and how that maps onto racial and national hierarchies. But can I really say transphobia is the lodestone to fascism?" Aleksandr Dugin: "Ukrainians are collective transgenders."

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not “gold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard. IMO it’s just pseudoscience. There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.

i don't even think anyone who cites the cass report as an authority actually read it. it could have just been 12,239 pages of lorem ipsum and its proponents would talk about it exactly the same as they do now

There's something to this and to some degree Star Wars (original trilogy) exemplifies this. All the aesthetics but none of the ideological substance beyond pure cartoonish evil. It's stripped even of the cult of personality, we never see anybody gushing about their devotion to Palpatine's greatness.

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

once we oust this current trump administration we will have to force democratic politicians to treat everyone in his administration like the hague treated germany post WW2
