1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics Every MAGA accusation is a confession

patton oswalt has been suspended from bluesky for saying that megyn kelly should be fed to a woodchipper for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

Is it bad my first thought was, "Really? Not even Durham, but like Charlotte?"

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Hey centrists, what was that about the Republicans being able to use Mamdani to paint the Democrats as radical, again?

When you call Mamdani a socialist, please remember:

Zohran Mamdani Refuses To Share Plan For Making Rich Richer https://theonion.com/zohran-mamdani-refuses-to-share-plan-for-making-rich-richer/

Wow, morning Joe is actually grilling Jonathan Greenblatt over accusing Mamdani of being antisemitic and pushing back hard against the baseless accusations. Amazing what an electoral mandate will do.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

So he won the Bronx? But...but...I was told poor black voters don't like him!

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

one of the few kinda nice things about this period of time is that it's revealed, often surprisingly, which influential political figures actually believe in something

the assumptions made about the target audience by making the first two items "OnlyFans' and 'child support' are kind of incredible

I mean, the Democrats branded it the "Green New Deal" specifically so people would connect it to FDR's popular and successful jobs programs and the media convinced voters it was just a radical woke conspiracy/Chinese climate hoax thing. It's the propaganda machine more than the message itself.

Ice is kidnapping black citizens in Chicago in the middle of the night.

Our first ad of the general election starts airing tomorrow: “Things Can Change.”

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians."

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

I cannot stress this enough. We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility. If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Any decent person, regardless of the consequences, would respond to that with "You worthless son of a bitch."

so ICE murdered a father in cold blood from a routine traffic stop, we're murdering random Venezuelans in foreign waters, we're shackling S. Koreans for building the factories we need to keep the southern economy alive, and we have a majority party trying to tie passport status to political views

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.” Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

I learned about Groypers back in 2015 when a group of them targeted me. I responded with this comic, which made it worse. Remember before they called us woke, it was sjws?

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

So about that “transgender ideology” WSJ report

The reason Charlie Kirk is being lionized by so many journalists is simple: he was very good at cultivating journalists and it seems a lot of journalists don't seem to understand the concept of being cultivated as a pet reporter in exchange for scoops or leads. They think he was their friend.

I feel like the sanitizing of Kirk’s politics is sometimes an effort to create an idealized victim in order to bolster renunciations of political violence and sometimes simple ignorance about his actual politics.

Meanwhile … “The 16-year-old boy who shot two students and then himself at Evergreen High School this week appeared to espouse white supremacist views online …”

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that. Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate. If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

Can you guess what Charlie Kirk wanted me to come on his show to discuss? Gun Control. Kirk has publicly stated that Americans need to accept that the right of anyone to carry guns anywhere will come with some "unfortunate" deaths. Yep.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff Everyone: oh, like what? Every centrist hagiographer: very important things Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said? Every centrist hagiographer, looking at their legal department frantically shaking their heads: no

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

It's clear to the rest of us, the majority, that our lives don't matter to Trump or institutions of power in this country. Just look at how everyone, including the Yankees and former Presidents, come out to condemn Kirk's murder and offer sympathies as this country unleashes ICE on brown people.
