MN House Republicans release their policy proposals following the Annunciation school shooting. None include gun control. One proposal is to repeal the state ban on conversion therapy for minors.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

One of two things is happening. They don’t understand what’s happening. They want it to happen. Pick your poison

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

RIP to your 401k but at least we're finally talking about the real issues facing ordinary Americans

Called it.

HUNT: Should the Trump administration separate families to execute its mass deportation plan? REP. ZINKE: The families are part of the problem. I surmise that in Montana, what's gonna happen is we're gonna empower the sheriffs... the sheriffs are gonna round up. They know who's naughty & who's nice

Jack Smith’s final report: “Indeed, but for Mr. Trump’s election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence [post-immunity decision] was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial”

Nancy Mace spent all evening calling Sarah McBride and all trans people, groomers and threats to children. Meanwhile, this was her two months ago.

A trans woman on tiktok posted about getting her gender marker changed on her Florida drivers license. Florida investigated her over it, canceled her license, and then leaked the story to libs of tiktok to announce it publicly to humiliate her.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Gallego just joined as a co-sponsor (he voted for it in the House). Peters and Ossoff have already said they'll vote for it. That's 57 senators now. Warnock is on the fence, and there is a very, very real chance Dems make this a law without any serious debate over its provisions or even amendments.

This is the party Elon Musk is endorsing and will have a big streamed interview with their leader next week in X.

"if he does go down that route, Trump may end up being, among other things, the president who made stagflation great again." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-dollar...

Incoming president declares that "violent SCUM" has "infiltrated all aspects of our government and our Nation" and must be stopped through "strength and powerful leadership"... This won't end well.

JIMINY GLICK: Now you, you, you, you—your cars, they tend to run over pedestrians. Or else BURST into flames. ha HA isn't that wonderful! ELON MUSK: *the least convincing laugh of all time* GLICK: *tucking his legs under himself* You bought a website where no one likes you. Why?

New reports on the beating of a transgender man by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy have revealed an extensive cover-up effort.

“A study published last year in JAMA Network, a publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that 22% of cancer patients did not receive the care their doctors prescribed because of authorization delays or outright denials.”

Chief O'Hara wants you to believe things that aren't true about the police budget. He characterizes 2025 as an "additional cut" and says MPD "have become experts at doing more with less." MPD got a large increase for 2025 - but smaller than he wanted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUvBbldn0VY

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Let them testify at Tulsi's hearing.

The UK continues to quietly force trans adults to detransition. It was never about trans youth. Doctors in the UK are withdrawing hormones without warning and cutting tags people off even after decades of being on HRT. www.the-independent.com/news/uk/home...

He's growing some wings, He's changing his face, A new pair of legs, And a hard carapace, Gregor Samsa's coming to town.

Amid this reckoning over the inhumanity and dysfunction of the American health care system keep in mind you're being asked to believe the same system is treating trans people *too* efficiently

This is how I feed my children

We keep telling you that it is not about children. Matt Walsh at the Supreme Court says this is just the beginning and they will not stop until "trans ideology is entirely erased from the Earth." This is a statement of genocidal intent. You cannot erase an idea, but you can try to erase a people.

Every anti-trans-care argument falls apart when you ask why it doesn't apply to any other medical decision

in hindsight the NYT anti-trans crusade is one of the most despicable things that any big time journalism outfit in this country has ever done. a perfect and clearly intentional layup for the fascists on the Supreme Court

Response to coups by elected leaders: - South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens - Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics - United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

It’s even funnier when you consider MAGA didn’t even *accept* they lost in 2020, let alone hang out in progressive spaces to learn different perspectives about why they lost.

10 years ago a single bathroom bill passed in north carolina received so much pushback from all angles that the fucking NBA boycotted the state btw. that’s where we were then versus now. cool cool cool

Nancy Mace makes it clear she's going to try to push for national restrictions on trans people. www.foxnews.com/politics/spe...

this is like something a character in Animal Farm would say, and every 6th grader in the classroom would understand why it's wrong www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...

Sarah McBride was elected as the first transgender representative and now Republicans trying to ban her from the bathroom.

Two trans women attacked Nov 10 at the Hennepin Ave light rail station in downtown had moved from Iowa to Minnesota last year. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

RFK Jr.: “Thank you [to the NIH] for public service. We’re going to give infectious disease a break for about eight years.” Kennedy wants to take a “break” from studying infectious diseases like COVID-19 and measles. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Get to know the pride of Forest Lake!

sure, but are we gonna listen to this guy or half a dozen center-right millionaires who make a living writing one short column a week

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work. His advice to dems: Lead on your values. This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.

I’m starting to suspect that the people who think Harris ran a super-woke, trans-rights heavy campaign got most of their information from Trump ads and watching Rogan
