Don’t donate money to David Hogg, even if you agree with what he’s saying. He’s very grifty.

So, a Fox personality calls for ICE to go to Dodger Stadium and then it happens a couple of days later. Our leaders now just getting their marching orders from right wing media.

This was the initial scene at Dodger Stadium this morning. The Dodgers say that DHS requested and then was denied entry.

Not an original thought, but more and more these days I wake up mad that Prince only got 57 years and yet we have these elderly men shambling around in ill fitting suits and murdering innocent people left & right, with absolute zero joie de vivre only capable of getting horny for cruelty :(

New in PN: Republicans want unregulated AI. What could go wrong? "If the government is forced to step aside thanks to Trump's big bill and simply puts its faith in the good sense and public-spiritedness of the Silicon Valley elite, America’s future will become even more enshittified."

It used to be contested ground whether the US could start or enter a war without the sign off of the exec and legis branches. Now we're seeing whether it can enter a war without the sign off of either branch. Of course the President himself is the executive branch. But even in the world of ...

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

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

On the heels of a political assassination, a Montana Republican legislator says it's "time to go after the head of the snake." It's this type of rhetoric that emboldens the worst actors to commit violence. This type of rhetoric is always deplorable, but from a sitting legislator, it's inexcusable.

Hmmm... seems bad that Senate Dems are pretending not to know anything about this specific provision in the bill when asked by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social... Seems like coordinated faux ignorance.

I just want to say, I think it's a mistake to focus on the fact that Roberts didn't overrule Bostock this time. I get the desire for a silver lining, but trans people and all Americans are rapidly losing our constitutional protections and I think it's a mistake to pretend it's not really happening.

The midwife told mother Rachel Piland to take the child to a hospital because the baby “could suffer brain damage or die if not properly cared for.” Rachel refused, insisting “God makes no mistakes.” Days later, Abigail was dead.

A terror campaign is sweeping the United States, orchestrated from inside the White House and waged by masked, militarized federal agents. Its primary targets are immigrants. Also included are those in solidarity with immigrants, and, increasingly, elected officials, all from the Democratic Party.

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.

THREAD. The New York Times editorial on the New York City Mayor race is shameful. A lot of people have criticized its cowardice for refusing to endorse, but I want to highlight something deeper and more disturbing.

Once a guy at my airport gate was bragging about being at January 6th and then I passed him sitting in first class when I boarded and whenever I read stuff like this I think about how his life doesn’t get any better or worse in any way if a trans teenager kills themselves. Evil for the sake of evil.

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

That's one way to put it. I think it's useful to put on record that the GOP response to the arrests of Dem electeds is that they're attention-seeking losers. We're not even getting "behind the scenes Rs are worried." Not worried at all! They are sharing the arrest pics and LOLing.

I think ICE thinks they look intimidating/badass in their military gear, but I just think they look stupid. You're wearing camo and bulletproof vests, waving around an AK-47 walking around Yuma? It's so pathetic.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet. The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.
