the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

It would be one thing if these lawmakers were operating in good faith. They are not. This is not an earnest attempt to protect you from dangerous products. This is an attempt to roll back rights that we fought for and won. This is part of Project 2025.

Because many struggle with math…

it's also fun that she's incinerating him in between cute cat posting while he's running around the sight weeping and insisting he has a soul.

Let a single person feed their family with food stamps when they don't "deserve" the benefit and Republicans will be filled with such rage that they'll take away those benefits from millions of others. Meanwhile the administration is doing this: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

They need something to discourse and debate over and the dumb sack of shit running the country is incapable of producing anything substantive to argue about. Trans people are basically being punished for the president's borderline illiteracy and lack of intellectual curiosity.

Felony vandalism? They were hanging a cardboard bug on a wall.

Once again from the top rope

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

younger generations have always dreamed to be in debt until the day they die

If you're bleeding internally you just uhh call around and compare health care plans. Make a budget spreadsheet and see what you can afford. Do I have to spell it out for you. I have a ballroom to build

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Yes! And I think he did great work with media but honestly nothing had me saying "oh wow communicator of a generation." No. He's likeable, he's decent, his policies are popular, he has a campaign work ethic. Maybe most importantly: he obviously had competent staff and obviously listened to them.

I keep yelling this at my phone when I see these photos and I’m going to start yelling it here: NEVER. POINT. YOUR FIREARM. AT ANYTHING. YOU DO NOT INTEND. TO DESTROY.

this is so obviously corrupt that it's probably worth $4m in expected electoral value

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

Which says so much about how racists center themselves. I'm not interested in shaming you; I just want you to stop oppressing people. If talking about race makes you feel ashamed, that's on you.

What's another $40 billion in US taxpayer dollars between tyrants

"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

fifty years to the day since the Edmund Fitzgerald went down and was immortalized in song forever "Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" is an all time banger of a lyric

ASKING OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT US IS NOT FIGHTING IT’S JUST ASKING YOU TO DO THE FUCKING JOB WE PAY YOU FOR

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement my out of pocket cost: $473 what my insurance paid: $4258 what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

This simply happened and no one in the media speculated why the President would do this or what it means about his involvement

Sharing for no particular reason. #NurembergTrials

Fun fact: Musk's pay package would be equal to the cost of SNAP (i.e., helping 42 million people to buy food) for TEN YEARS.

I think my Word of the Day email might be trolling the Democrats.

🧵 Not exactly silver linings but shit ain't over

they understand insurance. the entire premise of libertarian opposition to mandatory insurance is that they should not have to care about anyone else and be permitted to take risks. it's the same opposition to vaccination and taxation. they are bad neighbors.

I did not grasp how bonkers Canadians are. One news outlet likened the game conditions to a "snowglobe." Crews took an hour during the game to clear snow. "On over hour delay allowed the field crews to clear the pitch, using soccer’s answer to a Zamboni, to more playable conditions."

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

On the blog: In approving Trump's transphobic policy of listing sex assigned at birth on passports, SCOTUS said govt was "merely attesting to a historical fact," thus echoing the obtuseness of Plessy v Ferguson's statement that Black folks were only choosing to see segregation as white supremacy. 👇

A reminder that the last extended Trump shutdown also ended when flights started getting cancelled.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

It really does feel like they went “well of course standing up to Trump will help us win the election but after that we can give up” and about half the democrats in the Senate nodded along and decided which eight were going to have to look like goofballs

One bit of good news.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry
