Jesse Singal now appears to be siding with Ken Paxton on forced mental health conversion therapy for trans youth.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

Y'all this is just bachelor chow from Futurama

Gen Z complaining to Millennials about America starting an immoral, manufactured war in the Middle East while the country teeters on the edge of an economic meltdown because of overheated financial engineering

It's painfully obvious to me that a whole lot of people who are telling us the elections can't be interfered with are totally clueless concerning what has been done in several important states that will allow them to do just that.

Today is the last day of February and rent is DUE. I'm working with @ziibiing.com at Stand With Minnesota to raise funds to pay rents for ICE impacted families. You can send funds to me V: colocharachel $:ColochaRachel OR submit a form to adopt a rent: www.standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent 🌻🌻

I do gotta say that if anyone had told teenage me that someday I would be prepared to personally bail out an entire high school but the woman who made The Matrix did it instead I would definitely have been like “ok somebody needs their meds adjusted” What an absolute real one. Thank you, Lilly 😭

Damn, @thedailytism.com is funny. And painful. Painfully funny.

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.

It’s Day 87 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Everywhere you go, you’ll still see patrollers keeping neighbors safe. And also everywhere you go, someone is raising money for rent for their community. Give what you can at StandWithMinnesota.com

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

Boss, it's the fascism.

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

HAHAHAHAHA ouch

"I need someone here now, or else I'm going to have to shoot this kid." -- ICE terrorist when a cyclist followed him

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Exactly this. And this is why it is extremely important that if you care about bodily autonomy you have to care about trans healthcare rights. If the federal government can take away my right to testosterone, they can take away your right to birth control. And they want to do both.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

This is horrifying. Full on Nazi shit.

Remember: when they say kitchen table issues, Dems are, and always have been, referring to the issues that they perceive as being important—in a politically neutral way—to the heads of households of (white) nuclear families.

To treat an adult like they're not responsible for their own actions is infantilizing. I have enough neurodivergent quirks to hand out to everyone and still take some home with me, and I'd still feel really shitty if I hurt someone and people told me it wasn't my fault because of what I am

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

Bluesky function that works like alt text where you append an explanation for people who need an explanation of your joke. then when nobody reads the explanation and still reply you get to feel even dumber

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE. Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater We keep us housed 💛 Please share and help if you can! Thank you!

I’m just a Minneapolitan, standing in front of a country, asking them to stop platforming our mayor for swearing on tv about ICE and then doing nothing substantive while antagonizing city council members that are

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

We only know what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti because rapid response organizers were there to record it. We don't know how many people they have murdered, but information about more killings keeps coming to light. And who knows what happens in the camps. crimethinc.com/MNRapidRespo...

If you're not in Minnesota, please help share these updates widely. You can use keepMNhoused.com to help with direct rent relief as well as StandWithMinnesota.com for lots of other resources & ways to help—including donating Delta sky miles to bring home people who have been detained by 🧊

When everyone talked about quitting tech and becoming farmers that was not what we meant

Oh, and apropos of <waves vaguely in all directions> *everything*

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

That’s $1.5 *million* in matching funds. Let’s go!

Why are stakes “too high” for the landlords but not for the renters?

Seattle!!! Have you RSVP'd for the #OpenSearch User Group next week? Be sure to soon so @k45514n.net & Joshua Bright know how much pizza to order 😁 I expect a great couple of sessions that will be informative to all who attend. #OpenSearchAmbassador #opensource www.meetup.com/opensearch-p...

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

“We’ve had a lot of ICE activity (since the press conference) in our neighborhood but far fewer observers. They just want the Anglos to think it’s over.” — a message from the inside in Minneapolis

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

Vote to fund ICE or ICE will kill more people, says cross-wearing psychopath

if you ever said where I could see it that people were catastrophizing about the second Trump administration because institutions please know that I will never ever forget it

Trump's approval ratings are low so... they're going to stop reporting his approval rating. Can't make this complict shit up any more.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

This guy speaks for everyone in Minnesota. I’d rather be talking about tech too!

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

Important thread from a former NYT staffer breaking down how the paper's genocidal anti-trans crusade is directed, top down, from the highest levels of the organization. Stop putting bullets in the gun that's killing us. Boycott the New York Times.
