Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

Charlie Kirk was a bigoted, homophobic, sexist arsehole of the highest order who promoted gun violence as a good necessary thing. He was a blight on society. I’m free to express my opinion. If it upsets you, appeal to your local politician for retribution, I say they can get fucked too.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

tell me which side is anti-comedy and anti-free speech again

Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside -- a challenging situation." (In other words, stagflation)

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

Charlie Kirk died at 31 I’m still alive and beautiful at 32

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

democrat melissa hortman was literally politically assassinated in her fucking home less than 3 months ago and now everyone wants to comment on how bad it’ll be now like ok

"The only people who should ride their bikes during the workday are bike messengers, who I also dislike. They weave, they bob—it’s inappropriate. Bike messengers need to do what drivers do: go straight, get pissed off, and hate everyone."

The Atlantic and NYT lost their minds if there was so much as a trigger warning in classes. Now, professors and Deans are being fired for a class that discussed the existence of trans people and those same publications are quiet. It was never about free speech. www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/t...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society

New in PN: Judge steps up to block ICE's kidnapping of Guatemalan kids "It’s a strong rebuke to doomers who say that the law doesn’t matter. It mattered this weekend for the children pulled off those planes, and it continues to matter as courts step in to check Trump's worst, cruelest excesses."

Eisendrath: "American parents are going to watch their children die because they didn't get them vaccinated."

23. He is not intent on controlling and preventing disease. He’s intent on letting it run wild. Whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Public health is, therefore, not a goal. It’s an obstacle to overcome. Doing that first requires making us accept the idea that “vaccine skepticism” is real.

Yes, it was carefully hidden in the New England Journal of Medicine. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... ) 1/2

Cyclists, don't forget to wear hi viz!

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

So a guy with no medical training is leading Health and Human Services and now another guy with no medical training is leading the CDC. Cool. Joni Ernst was right… we’re all going to die.

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Let’s say this again. Read this carefully, line-by-line, so you don’t forget. Gender affirming care is not harmful to patients. In fact, it’s actually shown to REDUCE rates of suicide in transgender people by up to 70%.

This from Riley Gaines is why trans people freak out when Democrats try to carve out some compromise over sports. The politicians and activists attacking trans people are not interested in compromise! They're interested in our eradication from public life and are exploiting sports to that end

A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago. As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

Michigan AG Dana Nessel comes out swinging against University of Michigan for stopping care for trans youth.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader? I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Genuinely cannot wait for the entire malignant AI industry to crash out, gonna be celebrating. 🦀🦀🦀🎉 For the damage it's done, for the people whose livelihoods it's decimated, for every prick who's got off on telling creative people they're obsolete, glad the plagiarism engines will crash and burn.
