As a cis person, let me make a pronouncement (pun intended) once again on trans people. Trans people's identities are valid You and I, do not need to UNDERSTAND how they present their identity. It is still valid Gender only matters in terms of fucking, and it's up to you to make your wants known

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Earlier, federal agents shot a protester in the eye. Vincent is an ER nurse and said he came to the protest at the ICE facility in South Portland after a shift. Other protesters called an ambulance for him, but he had to walk several blocks to meet it, due to the munitions still flying.

Circa 1998 I was living in Quebec City and was at a club “Chez Dagobert” and shook hands with Weird Al. He didn’t seem super impressed at getting approached by a random fan though…

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Zuck single-handedly pulling that average down.

How many pancakes does it take to cover a doghouse? Six, because…

Some would say this is a list of people who found common cause with obvious fascists and are now trying to tiptoe away from the consequences of their actions, much too late

Going to be costly to buy a MAGA hat for anyone who wants one and doesn’t already have one.

Meanwhile…

Tired: not traveling due to COVID Wired: not traveling due to fascism

JD Vance abusing Zelensky but all the time wishing he looked like him. The tragedy of the pitiful man.

@kaiser-permanente.bsky.social I have a question regarding this article you emailed me: does acupuncture show any benefits beyond placebo in controlled trials, and if not why are you pedaling it? healthy.kaiserpermanente.org//health-well...

However much you hate the New York Times, it isn't enough

What’s a lovely random thing you observed this week while you were out and about?

The transcript of the chats were revealed by Christopher Rufo? Why and how does Rufo have access to intelligence agency chats?

Since Musk makes at least 500,000 times the salary of a federal worker (just based on his Tesla comp), I would like him to list two and half million things he did last week that justifies his employment.

Since the Washington Post didn't want you to see the anti-Musk ad with your newspaper, please check out this website and share it around www.commoncause.org/work/fire-el...

This dude was trying to hit on the young women and when they weren't interested he went on a racist tirade. Trigger warning on all the language. We are going to see so much more of this.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

And yet children can be legally married off to adults. A child can be forced to give birth. A child can be made to work. A child can be made to enlist in the military. A child can be arrested and incarcerated. But giving kids rights? That's what you sound crazy for advocating.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
