You may wonder why Trump bundled trans issues into the SAVE Act. It’s because many Republican voters will vote against their self-interest if they have the chance to marginalize trans people.

Terrific reporting on the Delta video (and normal, appropriate crediting) from @jbendery.bsky.social here. Interestingly, she says she asked Delta in February about it and they didn’t respond. It really was @ottergoose.net getting the video that made the difference. www.huffpost.com/entry/delta-...

Well, I’m just happy to be here. Just take it one day at a time and hope I can help the ball club.

Asking for $200 billion to keep bombing another country for no discernible reason - just months after refusing to spend just 15% of that amount on extending health insurance subsidies - is one hell of a choice. And I don’t plan on letting them forget it, either.

“We don’t want to pay people to do the work computers will do for free." This country is not prepared for the economic fallout that AI will bring over the next 5 years. And I’m not good at math, but it seems like $11.8M is a lot cheaper than $75M.

Is Rusty still in the navy?? #LetsGoPens

I think Kasey Musgraves should go listen to the new Sturgill Simpson (Johnny Blue Skies) record. #musicsky #dryspell #MutinyAtMidnight

Wow!

The Department of Energy is warning that gas prices aren’t likely to come back down to pre-war levels until mid-2027 at the earliest.

Y’all stay safe out there today.

We have the money.

Last year, Live Nation donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund.

Give me a Tampa/Buffalo playoff series.

Buffalo scored 8 goals but couldn’t put one in the empty net. 😂

Can we start talking about how the lack of universal healthcare traps people in toxic workplaces and relationships? Because it does.

We don’t want billionaires. We want everyone to have what they need to thrive.

I truly would not mind paying taxes if I had paved roads and sidewalks and funded schools and childcare and healthcare… as it is, I’m only paying taxes for war and tax cuts for the wealthy.

Throwback to the co-founder of Palantir saying this is all about making money in June 2025: " I'm really excited to invest in Iran if we can get this country to be some sort of republic and not run by crazy people, and that's a lot easier than doing that in Afghanistan..."

Good question.

A two-child household must earn $400,000 a year for childcare to be affordable, according to a new study.

We could have free healthcare, UBI, public transportation, free college, free meals for all school children, free day care, beautiful parks, sustainable natural power from the sun and the wind, community gardens, upgrades to all public buildings...why are we letting this continue?

Can’t. Living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Billboards are a waste of political dollars.

*Buzzes in Who are the people in the Epstein Files? @kenjennings.bsky.social “Correct”

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Mike Sullivan LOL #LetsGoPens

They always like to make it interesting. #LetsGoPens

THIS. This right here. There are many anti-UBI people who's core anger about the idea stems from jealousy that Others might not suffer like they did/do, and jealousy that the people who do "menial" labor will be treated equally to them

Leaked video from one of the regime’s black sites, shows victims being crammed into small detention rooms designed for short stays indefinitely. More than 50 people at a time, including US residents and citizens. They report beatings, torture, and food deprivation. #3E #GoodvsEvil

I think it would be more efficient if news stations ran a list of places that were actually OPEN tomorrow during the snowstorm.

If only we as a country, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, had some historical events from our founding era that might help us understand why agents of a distant government shouldn’t murder protesters on the streets of the city where they live.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

two years old.

My neighborhood. Would love to go out to eat more and shop small businesses.

Billionaire wealth reached a record high of $18.3 trillion in 2025.

Hey white folks, listen up.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

Take over major cities. Cause chaos and violence. Bring in even more federal agents to “suppress” violence. Get folks scared to disrupt by killing a few activists here and there. Man the polls with armed troops or “postpone” the ‘26 election entirely because of chaos and violence.

Jan. 9, 1776: A 47-page pamphlet is published in Philadelphia that will alter the course of history. “Common Sense” by an anonymous writer calling himself “An Englishman”—Thomas Paine—takes up the once-unthinkable idea of American independence and concludes: “ 'TIS TIME TO PART.” 1/10

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. -- U.S. Const. amend. I.

The hardest part is accepting that this damage is permanent. The sense of shared community is broken, maybe beyond repair in our lifetime. People we spent years rejecting have power, & the resentment they’re unleashing is changing us all. I’m having a hard time with that. I know I’m not alone.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.
