this week, congress has agreed to ban trans participation in sports at military academies and the opening bid to fix aca subsidies bans trans care coverage on obamacare exchanges why does it feel like we’re not seeing a five alarm fire from the lgbtq+ advocacy groups yet

No one was ever gonna be able to follow Saban effectively but this dude has done everything to alienate the fanbase while always shitting the bed on the biggest stages. Really wish he’d taken the Penn State job.

This honestly puts Kash's FBI in a hilarious position, especially if the J6 pardon extends to Cole. One of the funniest own goals ever, with Kash on TV last night claiming Biden's DOJ deliberately didn't find this guy. Will they prosecute him only to be pardoned bc he confessed his love for Trump?

the funniest thing about Trump is that if he doesn’t have someone actively poisoning him a few times a week he reliably comes out with “I just had the best idea—what if you didn’t have to PAY to go to the DOCTOR” or similar

This is absolutely insane. The Director of the National Economic Council is saying he uses AI to make his boss (Donald Trump) happy. What the hell is going on right now?

Regardless of what happens tonight, the South matters a lot more than you think

Okay, well that seems a bit problematic

They line up perfectly.

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

I mean, I got it. But what the hell kind of word is fetid.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola. Fuck Columbus.

Under appreciated post. A genuinely perfect joke.

I just saw a commercial for a Columbus Day parade here in Mass…. Is that still a thing up here? I don’t remember ever any celebrations for Columbus Day growing up or really ever… and I’m from the deep South. It’s genuinely baffling.

And if you give a mouse a plane….

My birthday is next week, and it’s weird to be at an age where you occasionally have to do some simple math to remember you’re own damn age.

I'm gonna guess that a woman who grew up on screen in this fucked up world dealing with criticism and unwanted attention as a female movie star has much more experience with how the world really is than some old hag writer

That right path looks rad as hell

Bullet "evidence" startin' to get a little too specific and whatnot.

Erin has blocked several people in the last week or so over a correction which she has been 100% proven to be wrong on, and then other people calling out her petty retaliation and asking for a cite. Very weird and disappointing behavior from someone I respected not long ago...

I'm glad I've worked with K-8 autistic students so I can say how, despite the material & educational challenges their families have to contend with, how special & wonderful autistic kids are. I love them, they enrich my work every day. RFK Jr is a Nazi-era eugenicist to me, a sick fucking bastard.

it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers

Honestly not to be all lib but I’m going to be all lib and be completely fine with it because I think the combination of removing Storm Thurmond’s name from something and defeating a fascist piece of shit is good and worth celebrating

Elon Musk AND Strom Thurmond taken down within a couple hours of each other this evening?

friendly reminder iran was a liberal democracy before the cia-backed coup in the 50s which the islamic revolution was a direct response to

Imagine if you helped save a country that you had every reason to hate and this was the thanks you got

there is a very large gulf between being an actual ally to the trans community and making money off of them under blue and pink streamers

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

I guess one positive of the trans military ban is they won’t draft me in the increasingly inevitable war with China, Europe, et al.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Pretty weird to see this "empathy is bad" line jump from Christian Nationalists to the agnostic atheist president. Like, *that's* the gospel they managed to share with him

It feels impossible to explain to others how many trans people, already living in a world that hates and fears us, are completely on edge right now, every minute of every day, waiting for the eventual Trump order for our complete eradication.

Choosing a septuagenarian with cancer over AOC for the House Oversight Committee and this dumbass over Ben Wikler shows exactly why this party will never succeed. We need radical leadership and the idiots running the party want to stick with the status quo

From this morning

America is less safe in every way you look at it because Trump is in power. We are going to see more air crashes, more car crashes, more fatalities overall from just living our lives in the way we have up until now because these people are gutting the country like a fish in order to destroy it.

In 24 hours we've gotten executive orders attempting to ban gender affirming care, ban recognition of trans youth in schools, ban trans employees in the federal government. It's a full on societal purge of trans people. They meant it when they said they wanted to eradicate us.

Dude who just bought the Presidency is out here giving Sieg Heil and Chuck Schumer talking about bipartisan shit. Nut the hell up and fight or get the fuck out, Chuck.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Chaya Raichik is going to Hell. I’m Catholic and I have to believe that’s why it exists.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

what did i just say

so when china does it, it's an "authoritarian drive to ensnare" but when the us does it, it's "burnishing your conservative culture war bonafides"?

RIP to the only decent country ass president of my lifetime

Just unfollowed Sulu for reposting AI pictures. It’s insane how obsessed the “resist libs” are with AI. It’s killing jobs faster than the GOP could dream, but hey, let’s make dumb and homophobic pictures.

He went from being the first president to ever say he’d protect trans people to this… Joe Biden really makes me sad
