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

The best thing the NYT can do for democracy and journalism is to fight this lawsuit, win or lose. As such, I’m confident they will settle.

We are awash in a massive sea of thumb-shaped white men who live exceptionally easy lives who claim to be doing hard things on a regular basis but would run screaming from actual discomfort.

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.

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio. going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week. if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along! reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

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

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

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.

Republicans passed and defended a law making it illegal to provide water to people waiting in line to vote.

NEW: Per a source with knowledge, the entire HHS Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, or OIDP, was just fired.

@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...

Gets a repost for alt-text commitment

If vandalism is domestic terrorism, I would like to report some vandalism

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.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Imagine being this guy whining about privacy. Lol. Lmao

Democracy doesn’t mean whoever wins a slight plurality in the national vote gets to rewrite every American institution to satisfy their own whims. The president is not an elected king. If we let him become one, the project of American democracy is over.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Articles of Impeachment for. Every. High. Crime. And. Misdemeanor. Sure the GOP controlled congress won’t pass them, but make them deny each and every one, even if there are 10 a week.

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.

From June 2020:

I’m really starting to believe there is something akin to long covid going around that is especially hitting the wealthy and powerful causing drastic brain damage. Maybe the lead in avgas?

Trans people, please know. You are loved. You are wanted. You are valid. You deserve the world. You are not alone. We will fight this. Keep going.

In most cases, the word “businessman” is a lie. It’s usually a propaganda word for violent drug addicts with severe mental illness.

Jfc. Wapo trying really hard to sink to NYT’s level

This makes perfect sense. Someone leaked the confidential information, and lacking knowledge of who specifically did it, it only makes sense to fire everyone. Just like they fired everyone in the Trump administration when classified documents were found in Trump’s shitter.

As discrimination is implemented in our nation's Capitol on Trans Day of Remembrance and liberal commentators continue to throw trans people under the bus, I want to publicly share a story from nearly a decade ago about how liberals keep learning the wrong lesson from anti-trans attacks. A thread: 🧵

Uh, ma’am. Do you not know any nerds that could have talked you out of this
