It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

My interest in this “Democrats” group was piqued when the Koch-funded FIRE, which defends right-wing interests, rushed to its side in Illinois. So I took a look at what makes this group “Democats.” Their public filings and website provide no substantiation. We asked them directly … and got no reply

The next time you feel silly for believing something that turned out not to be true, remember that there were apparently people out there who assumed that Pedro Pascal was straight.

PEDRO PASCAL IS GAY I HAVE A CHANCE IF MY WIFE WILL LET ME

Honestly, how many Democratic politicians are being paid off to not lift a single finger for their constituents? Both Minnesota and Kansas had crisis-level sanctions applied to them today and not one supposedly progressive, cis politician from either place said, "I'll lead the fight on this."

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

And another one bites the dust. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

Actually when queer comedians and women comedians are allowed to say what they actually think of straight, cis men you have more than 30 minutes of constant laugh-out-loud material. Ah, but there's always some guy in power who puts on his pouty face to say, "That's not funny."

How, HOW are these pathetic little worms not too embarrassed to show their faces in public. How.

If you think BIRTH CONTROL pills are “a disrespect of life,” and can’t just say birth control is safe and effective for the overwhelming majority of women with your whole chest, you should NOT be America’s top doctor. I'm voting NO on Casey Means for Surgeon General.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

The substance alone is scandalous but this is getting traction, in part, because withholding documents is so offensive to journalistic norms even conservative editors have to prioritize coverage.

The center bus lanes (which drop off people at an elevated station in the middle of the road) in Mexico City are great: it means the bus is more like a no-fare street car (you pay the fare entering the station) and it runs really quickly. Boston would be *lucky* to have this. Also it's accessible!

Little do people know the Montgomery bus boycott was about being allowed to double park to pick up take out.

Again, you don't fight fascists by saying "What they're doing is highly illegal!"

You can also find much of his work on Vimeo.

An immense loss: Ulysses Jenkins has passed away. He was one of the great video artists. TWO ZONE-TRANSFER, for instance, is a phenomenal sublimation of the minstrel into the soulful. Many of his films were on @criterionchannl.bsky.social (I hope they're added back soon).

Pedro pascal being really gay in public with his boyfriend is the exact thing i needed to make up for <last 10 years of global happenings>

There’s a dude on this train doing the way too personal phone call in public thing. I know where his parents live. How much he smokes a day, and why he broke up with his ex. (Or why he says he did.) I’m not listening. He’s louder than the train announcements.

This is not how the Security Council works. Our unaccomplished, inarticulate, unqualified Third Lady has no business there and it’s an insult to the world to send her.

FASTER tracked investigation: BBC chose to: 1. Protect Jewish and LGBTQIA+ viewers and 2. HARM Black attendees/viewers Period.

I would like to see Pritzker and Newsom declare a state tax receivership fund whereby citizens pay their federal tax liabilities into a state-run escrow account rather than directly to the IRS. The state can hold these funds in trust for the federal government until Trump obeys the Impoundment Act.

Eat shit, loser.

4. “No, APA’s position has not changed,” says a representative speaking for the APA, attaching a link to their 2024 policy. “APA continues to support unobstructed access to evidence-based care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals of all ages.” www.apa.org/about/policy...

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

I’m also reminded of the way LAPD would pick people up, and then drop them off in rival hoods.

If the Trump administration needs help bringing them all back, I’ve got receipts. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/tracking-all...

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim* If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.

Keep 'em coming. We're close to 2000 letters to US Senators opposing the nomination of quack Casey Means to the post of US Surgeon General. Help us get several hundred more this afternoon. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

I love New York City

So DID YOU KNOW you can now pre-order Gwen Aube’s book of poetry, MISSED CONNECTIONS WITH TALL GIRLS? Pls let me buttonhole u and tell u about this book

If you know me you know I am technically a poet, and that I complain about poetry a lot. When we started LittlePuss I even said to @caseyplett.com "no poetry, that's the rule, we're not doing poetry"

"Students must continue fighting the good fight — attending protests, emailing administrators, and demanding affiliates take responsibility for their past wrongdoings. Until we fully grapple with addressing Epstein’s legacy, we must stay true to our moral priorities."

GUESS WHO IS NEXT

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 "Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time"

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

Next how is Harvard going to repair and restore the people whose lives were changed by his bigotry and nonsense especially now that we KNOW it was connected to his desire for access and control to people ?

The thought lodged in my head — intrusively, as I’d rather not connect the names of these two people, frankly — is that Claudine Gay is owed _such_ an apology.

It’s not true that vaccines only reduce severity. Vaccines significantly reduce transmission, as well as the risk of long COVID.
