i’ve been following this & every update is more awful & hard to swallow. she has the same last name i had for a while as a kid. she played guitar & apparently shredded & i didn’t know her but she sounded so old school SF. but also she’s a real whole human & it’s just fucking terrible

It is I, tanguy destable

Wow—equipment normally wielded by SWAT had to be used to breach the doors of Kash Patel’s room at one point because he was non-responsive to efforts to reach him:

"according to nine people familiar" is never a line you want in a story about you

📍 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐀: An 18-year-old college student was shot in the eye by a DHS agent while documenting a protest in Los Angeles — leaving him permanently blinded and now pursuing a federal civil rights claim over excessive force. #AbuseOfPowerWatch

Bill Clinton was friends with a billionaire who sexually blackmailed with hidden cameras, who was named in sexual assault allegations, and who he hung with on his airplane named after sex acts done on it. No not that one, it was Ron Burkle. Oh, and Burkle was on the Clinton/Epstein Africa trip.

a city council approved a data center despite resident objections. in response, the town voted all of them out, is suing to stop the data center, and are moving to oust the mayor next. Festus, I salute you 🫡

Here is that "gender critical" artist who set out to create 100 portraits of "detransitioned women" FOUR YEARS AGO admitting that a number of her subjects have retransitioned in that time, as everyone who knows anything about trans people predicted they would. She should obviously remove them. 1/

😢😔

Upon “accessing certain capabilities,” you may be prompted to verify your identity. “You would have to show a valid and physical government-issued photo ID. You’d also have take a selfie with your phone or computer camera that the system will compare against the ID you present.”

A family of doctors in Idaho with a teenage trans daughter describes their decision to close their practice and leave the state after the governor signed a law last month threatening her with a felony charge and five years in prison if she uses any women's restroom

that was me my stealth year in med school, it was stressful but also fun and interesting

99.999 percent of US citizens are one pink slip, one medical emergency, one failed investment away from homelessness. A gay teenager ousted by religious parents, a disabled/elderly person unable to work or an addict struggling without a support network. They will all be enslaved. This is slavery.

we're approaching a really Fun space where all pornography and anything remotely considered to be consensually made sexual content is defacto banned online... but this is chill, companies can just do this, no ID verification or AI face scans required to buy the clash of clans "foot tribute bundle"

Sidenote: this is all reads as the type of silicon valley science wishcasting that was extremely Jeffrey Epstein’s Thjng. So I checked the Epstein files and, uh, yep.

"So far, these restrictions have primarily affected minors. But leaders in the emboldened movement have begun to more openly admit their desire to attempt to end gender-affirming care for adults, too."

reiwa no dara-san fucking rules

I'm trans. I & most other trans ppl I know often discuss where we may have to flee to, if the UK doesn't do a serious u-turn on our human rights. We all LONG for the days when we could have moved anywhere in the EU to escape this shitshow. For trans ppl, Brejoin could literally be life or death.

Look at it this way: knowing everything we know, all the stuff that is in the public domain, totally out there, does it not seem that the culture at the top is at best hopelessly dysfunctional, at worst a seething pit of corruption and criminality?

it's cool that the one thing both of them agree on is that transgender people should be denied healthcare. both those ghouls can go to hell

Not sure why everyone thinks this is respectful. He goes on to say that a trans man’s existence would be distressing to women. And this is all in conversation about putting them into a third space. Not the men’s. A secret third thing. He also has said the same for trans women.

my identity is probably stolen and filed away in a database somewhere probably 30 times over, i'm glad at least one of them has a grainy picture of me hurriedly stuffing a reuben in my face and spilling mustard on my shirt before a concert. that's the real me among all the stolen data me's

You Do Not Hate Congress Enough

We're watching the open web as it existed die in real time.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

There's going to be a new Art of War that's going to be like "don't fire all your standoff weapons and interceptors off all at once" and "don't feed your navy expired lunch meat."

actually talking to elrod has made this whole thing even stupider because he says he thinks it's important to a dem president would be expected not to tell their DoJ how to operate. looking for a candidate who promises prosecutions and prison, but once in office will recuse from instructing for it

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor. The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

This is why "but what do we do with the sexual predators?" doesn't work as a response to abolition. THIS IS WHAT WE DO WITH THEM NOW: WE MAKE SURVIVORS WRITE THEM APOLOGY LETTERS.

I'm not an expert and I don't think I'm an authority at all on what constitutes antisemitism or bigotry etc but I think, in the grand scheme, it probably makes antisemitism far more likely to proliferate if you push the narrative that not giving Israel *armored bulldozers* is "betraying" US Jews.

The more I think the more I can’t imagine Henry Cuellar and Jared Moskowitz suddenly becoming more than the 0% critical of US/Israel political orthodoxy they’ve been their entire careers. After the infamous shutdown vote it’s more plausible that this is all being fixed by both party leaderships

Yall is it bad if you run out of provisions BEFORE your invasion?

Jared Golden (Maine) was the lone Democrat to oppose it. And Warren Davidson (Ohio) abstained by voting “present”. Isn’t it the job of House leadership to whip the votes they need…assuming they actually want a vote to pass.

Congress’ War Powers vote fails by exactly one vote (214-213). Funny how this keeps happening!

They take turns

that’s kinda my whole point. you didn’t think very hard. death plus gun equals preach.

“fact-based,” meaning, derived from the modification of facts, a creation assembled from pieces of facts. Factenstein’s monster

how many times did he strangle her? don’t talk about what you don’t understand.

are you kidding me with this?The man was a rapist. the rapist disgraced politician was the loaded gun. He was the danger in that house.

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this. This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

On Monday we reported on the 8 most insane fascist and antisemitic accounts JD Vance follows on X. @kylebazgo.bsky.social identified the worst of them, HowlingMutant, as Alexander Norden of NYC. He's very edgy, like posting about his sexually attraction to a pile of shoes at the Holocaust Museum.

Two women accused him of sexual assault as Lt. Gov and he not only refused to resign, he decided to run for governor a year later too. And now he murders his wife. Just an awful, awful human being. So many men in our society are just monsters.

not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer

Lmao of course

Happy Wednesday

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

it’s noteworthy as hell, but they’re also pushing forward in their war on basic health autonomy in the US and worldwide and continue to play an important role in the fundamentally fascist anti trans crusade. so it’s also confusing and demands vigilance.
