I always cackle when me being sharp, angry and assertive gets used as "evidence" of "male socialization" or whatever bs is getting spouted this week. Like...have you met working class Southern women? A doctor once tried to fire my grandmother and she stared him down so hard he started crying.

Doing a @mtsw.bsky.social on this but if Biden had said he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation in any context it would be the driving narrative for days (if not weeks) with second and third order stories along with being the only thing other elected Dems were asked about

I'll keep shouting it until my vocal chords bleed. There is no living with MAGA. There is no reconciliation with evil like this. There is only complete and utter destruction of the GOP, forever. Any Dem that doesn't have that as their goal needs to be replaced.

The Tennessee Speaker of the House will remove all Democratic Caucus members from standing committees and subcommittees as punishment for their redistricting protests. Democracy dies in Nashville.

@goodtrailcams.bsky.social hello from the PNW 👋

Hell yeah

Two days ago they were supposedly “begging for a deal” again for the 29th time in 9 weeks.

The introduction of the phrase “trans identifying” being normalized in media standards is one of the most insidious things the media campaign against trans people has ever done.

I mean, I think there’s a high likelihood they’re building that “ballroom” to serve as a bunker for operations if violence breaks out when they refuse to handover power. So it’s on their minds because it is their fear.

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

If you start reading the replies, you see that it eventually turns into a fight over whether or not a high enough weight can be described as a medical condition. Most people here thankfully agree that discrimination, medical neglect, and other mistreatment based on someone's weight, is wrong.

It is an actual thing, but it is not a choice. Someone being 400+ pounds or something did not choose for that to happen to them. It is, in fact, a medical condition, not "medicalized."

400+ pounds is not healthy. What it isn't though usually is a choice. It's a medical condition that should not get more judgment than another.

After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

Heads up! www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... " #ICE plans to deploy about 330 people [...] #Texas will receive the most, with 49 people deployed. Other cities targeted for increased ICE presence include #Miami, #Atlanta, #Baltimore, #Nashville and #Seattle."

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

Lmao white evangelicals plummeted

Reminder about hasanabi

Stay alert Seattle

don’t

Han Solo makes the OT unwatchable.

What the hell www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Also really funny that Richard Dawkins refuses to acknowledge that trans women are women but thinks "Claudia" is an entirely new form of life because it called him smart

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

Considering that Daily Wire are going bust almost three weeks after Péter Magyar announced that Hungary will no longer fund CPAC, it's at least plausible that Ben Shapiro was more or less dependent on Orbán cash to stay afloat.

The theobros of the Doug Wilson variety are trying to take over Battle Ground, WA. This sect of patriarchal Christianity argues that women shouldn’t have the right to vote. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Unfortunately the administration seems to have latched on to a key vulnerability in our constitutional order, which is that if you charge ahead and do the illegal thing, you often get most of the result you wanted even if you later lose in court.

It's worse than that! Do you know why 6 was afraid of 7? It's because 7 8 9. That's right—if you add a 7 before the 8 and cross out the 6, this is a threat to eat the president. Don't let your president get eaten by 7! Build the ballroom NOW!

it's a pretty obvious dogwhistle: "The election of Obama justifies any form of revenge we take."

Are we seriously gonna have Senator Platner

This fkng guy What's the worst that could happen 🙄

Everybody who encounters any ICE or CBP agent is in a life or death situation.

Man, that "well if he did good things with the same vigor that he does bad things, he'd be good" hope/belief/mantra sums up so much of the past decade (dear god) of US politics

Starting to see a wave of detransitioners retransition. Many of them never really stopped being trans, they just suppressed it with guilt and shame. There will be a lot more of this over the coming years.

you are creating a culture of violence against us by accurately reporting on the culture of violence we're gleefully inflicting on others

If the left wing had even a fraction of the capacity or intent to commit violence that the right claims we do, they certainly wouldn't be so blasé about antagonizing us. If you genuinely believe a bear is unpredictable and dangerous, you wouldn't constantly poke it with a stick and call it a cuck.

Gavin Newsome has said his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk Andrew Tate and now Clavicular. You should probably stop running for office and spend time with your son

FYI: some extremely stupid people are going to try to shut this place down at some point

New rule: for every queer death gloated about by right wingers on social media, everyone gets to gloat about one dead right winger. Failed attempts like yesterday's are gloat freebies. We're not even close to hitting quota.

"Violence has no place in—" Gonna stop you right there. There are government-sanctioned murderers terrorizing our cities, and this entire nation was built on a perpetually growing pile of corpses. Sorry your fancy dinner got spoiled.

john fetterman is in the same groupchats

I'm just sick of this shit. Left wingers die and the right wing laughs. A right winger gets shot and the IMMEDIATE thing people rush to social media to do is scold each other for gloating.

They got their marching orders.

🚨Anti trans activists have launched a campaign urging PAS to keep their anti trans panel this weekend! (See images) We need as many people as possible to send a letter via this link encouraging them to cancel it: actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

The anti trans side will cry cancel culture or that they're being silenced but in what other area of medicine is a panel so thoroughly opposed by the very patients they're discussing?

“Expanding the Supreme Court is no different that redistricting in California and Virginia. It is a proportionate response to Republican attempts to degrade liberal democracy and move America toward a post-liberal order.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

⚠️ Another US aircraft carrier and presumably its strike group are on the way to the Middle East. The USS Bush is scheduled to arrive in 3-5 days—which is also how long Trump has said his ceasefire extension will last.

The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.
