I am also 100% sure that branding America as God's army and an auxiliary arm of a martyrdom cult is like. Bad. Just, so fucking bad guys, really bad idea we should absolutely not do that

An insightful read showing how some parents become radicalised into ‘gender critical’ transphobia when their child comes out as trans. Here, one of the most unhinged leaders of the ‘Mom’s for Liberty’ movement is interviewed, along with their amazingly well-adjusted non-binary child…

🤦‍♂️

Oh, shit.

And economically shit is only JUST hitting the fan. People are nervous right now but they are going to be FURIOUS by December. I don't see how that doesn't happen. He's not reversing on tariffs and companies aren't going to quietly eat shit on his behalf forever.

Kirk’s phrase “false God of a race-obsessed modernity” has a certain ring to it, but I don’t think it accurately describes MLK’s vision.

And everything these freaks fantasize and legislate about happening to trans kids, they do but even worse, every day, to their own kids, who need to be liberated from their parents along with all our kids who also need to be liberated from those kids' parents

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

This is categorically untrue, btw, and shows the fundamental error that has fucked up Dem politics for ages. You won’t win Trump voters. You don’t need to win Trump voters. Chasing Trump voters is why you never motivate the MASSIVE doesn’t vote demographic to show up- they hate spineless weasels. 1/

now, plz think about this quote & definitions of autism all definitions of Autism are relative to their purposes none actually capture the reality of what it means to us we're all uncovering & discovering more about ourselves as a community, as a culture together 🫶🏻 #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

The Book of Life isn’t a ledger. It’s not about merit or failure. It’s about recognition. Will we allow each other to be fully written? Or will we demand silence from those who reveal the Divine in ways we don’t expect?

After Douthat says Trumpism is pressuring institutions "to do the right thing," his first example of that "right thing"—the "civic purpose"—is resegregation in higher education

Nazi regime insisting everyone honor a dead Nazi, so yeah it's going great. kind of offended you would even ask, actually.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

It a journalist, but as an educator, I refuse to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence, and that is very much NOT the same as violence

I’m not telling anyone what to do. I do think that it would send a powerful message if journalists who see this bullshit for what it is, said exactly what she said and made plain their belief that treating this as some kind of racism is nonsense.

The onus is always on Democrats to run more moderate, centrist candidates. I never hear the pundit class demanding the Republican run pro abortion or anti gun or pro LGBTQ candidates.

I will never vote for a pro-life candidate and that is a promise. fuck you

This TTvUU game is boring as hell. The announcers are trying to make it look like a defensive battle, but it is also very much a matter of inept offenses.

This.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

sinclair pulled its kirk tribute six minutes before it was set to air on its abc affiliates

Turns out it’s hard to fill an hour of Charlie without accidentally proving some points.

“Once you use ChatGPT, you don’t want to think for yourself anymore” that, in a nutshell, is why I avoid these things because no matter how convinced you are that it isn’t happening to you, it is happening to you these machines will suck your creativity dry and you’ll thank them for it

This is the way. Even sadder I will miss Denverday now, as I can’t excitedly ask all about the dog.

"what is their obsession with trans people even about" cuz trans people are the free-est motherfuckers on earth! they don't want the rest of y'all getting any ideas about having control over your own fucking destiny!!

I’m also beginning to think the endless right-wing focus on letting both students and faculty make bigoted remarks in college classrooms wasn’t about protecting academic freedom or promoting intellectual diversity.

As a note, K12 administrators are much less cognizant of this possibility, but k12 parents are NOT. My school had a kid call a mom to record in our school this year and it was absolutely as viciously out of context as you would expect. Blessedly not me, but still very much my headache.

Did the ed version of this recently. “There are substantial parts of this institution that you consider just How Things Are that I built and you have NO IDEA bc you aren’t even aware of what you destroy.”

this exists it is called thinking

I refused to placate the bully. Then I refused to placate the institutions who placated the bully. Then I refused to placate the shills who placate the institutions who placate the bully. I'm still standing; the rest are down. Never placate the bully.

Hanging in for dear life, over here. We will assume my good words about my therapist pushed it over the edge.

Alright then, @sentimentbot.bsky.social , dare I ask?

This is an absolutely insane thing to say about one of VERY few black women still WILLING to work for the WaPo getting fired by them for her words about Charlie Kirk. I hope that this person is lying about where they work; the level of incompetence otherwise is STAGGERING.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

My daughter has a college English class right now where they’re told to use AI to complete assignments. SHE’S HORRIFIED AND DISGUSTED. The tech bros want you to voluntarily relinquish your ability to think and give up all creativity to computers. So people are dumb and dependent on their products

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

This is 100% the energy. “I came down here to do my job and these fucking idiots decided to arrest me instead because they are obviously criminal tools.” Fuck. Yes.

See, reviews like this (and Tom’s below) is why I never manage to stop buying books. Thanks, yall. 😑

Yeah for real

Jesus.

Hey guys, I know it is considered hyperbolic to say these people are fully intending to eradicate us; have you noticed what happens if you acknowledge we exist?

Breaking News: Eleven Democratic elected officials were arrested in New York City after demanding access to ICE’s migrant detention cells.

I have been with my therapist for the better part of two years now and I am so thankful that she is so good at her job and such a good fit for me. Good mental health care is worth all the things.

A former friend of mine came up with a great one The cau-men-dacity
