The government is shut down, people are literally about to go hungry as SNAP payments stop, and this dude is building a gold trimmed billionaire ballroom. This isn’t going to end well.

"Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We're gonna kill them. You know, they're gonna be, like, dead. Okay? Yeah." Trump has abandoned even the pretext of following the law.

I don't usually post my fanfics to here but it is still writing I've done and can be proud of. This one was inspired by a throwaway line in Il Siracusano and has Texas and Sora fucking in a porn theater.

Your reminder that "less-lethals" can still be quite lethal and the way ICE is repeatedly using them constitute human rights violations.

I'm receiving word from readers that Fenway Health has now cancelled a planned event teaching about transgender health for continuing education. Fenway has fallen too far and they are letting fear steer the wheel. And they can't face the community.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

GOP: “Gender affirmation” is woke bullshit that nobody needs to think about ALSO GOP: I shall now opine for 10,000 words on The Crisis of Masculinity

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

They just complain more than the rest of us because they don’t have any real problems occupying their time.

Double rainbow

RIP the White House movie theater

I’m getting reports of another major LGBTQ center that is following Fenway’s cowardly example and dropping trans youth care. This decision will be a stain on their institutions.

1. Protests at Fenway have erupted this week, and further ones are planned. The protests are in response to the capitulation of the institution to the Trump administration. They have ended trans youth care. The latest from writer S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We had elections during Covid. During the Civil War. During the World Wars. There is no mechanism for suspending elections in the United States. Don't let these fascist fucks tell you otherwise.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

There are several bills to cut off Congress's pay checks during government shutdowns Now there's a bill to halt White House ballroom renovations during the shutdown: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

ICE is once again targeting rideshare divers at O’hare parking lots. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights says that multiple people have been detained. This is at least the third incident in the last few weeks involving ICE and rideshare drivers at O’hare.

pretty worrying how predictive Peacemaker turned out to be.

I broke my right leg (trimalleolar) over a decade ago. The bill without insurance would have been $77k bc I needed 2 surgeries. I later needed a third and the total bill would have been $90k. A decade ago. I cannot imagine prices now. Are we great yet, working class MAGA?

心は誰にも溶かせない

ahh another beautiful day in the glorious age of technology, sure hope my doorbell doesn’t stop working because an online bookstore took over and then broke the entire internet

I don't think we should let it go that the president posted a video of himself shitting diarrhea on us. It should be on his wikipedia page

What’s different about this shutdown? In past ones, Congress passed enough bills to keep parts of the gov running. This time, none. Economists say it’s trimming 0.1–0.2% of annual growth each week, about $7.6 to $15.2 billion lost weekly in stalled work and unpaid hours. Ouch.

Just because gender roles make you horny doesnt mean they should have implications for how we should organize society. Its ok to pretend like men make better leaders than women in the bedroom or deciding where to eat but it should be left there.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

When I say "Is this real, chat?", this is who I'm talking to

Dorothy, dealing with depression and difficulties in her relationship with her girlfriend Lisa, is given some help by one of Lisa's ex-girlfriends. No help comes without consequences, though.

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery
