In its latest ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Roberts Court has inverted the Reconstruction Amendments to justify the same racist devices and practices they were adopted to dismantle (🎁) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

yeah I'm into bdsm* *being depressed so much

This is such an important and harrowing story, and I am really impressed by the headline framing. Rare to see such clarity and precision about what policies like this aim to do captured in a headline.

So much more about Newsom's politics makes sense when one realizes his son is a nazi and rather than being a cause for serious intervention, he sees that as cool, authentic and worth impressing.

My cat’s mouth smells kinda weird and yet his fur that he cleans with saliva from said weird-smelling mouth smells good like play-doh and warm vanilla milk. How???

Nice day today ☀️

(getting dressed up in a tuxedo to go see an 80-year old racist insult comic who is also a serial sex offender and also responsible for the deaths of innocents across the globe) I'm a journamalist!

Fuck you’re telling me that a really shitty swimmer with no qualifications other than losing was wrong about this issue?

They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

great work everyone keep it up they are pigs and fascists and they should be reminded of it every day forever

there was the commissioning and then canceling of that Pride collection by queer and trans artists, then there was the DEI rollback, now it’s AI-driven false arrests. Target is setting land-speed records for torching customer goodwill, given how high their popularity and how far they had to fall

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

The average person eats over 100 spiders everytime they try a bite of my patented spider casserole

Strong agree - I completely reject the idea that only winnable fights are worth having. Whether you're putting down a marker for the next guy, or just howling at the evil and refusing to make things any easier for the bad guys there's always a reason to take on a righteous fight.

Good time to remember that rich people are okay with this in exchange for tax cuts

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

NYT continues to copy/paste the most brazen fascist lies. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

I’m making a Japanese curry for dinner tonight and among other things the recipe calls for black coffee and a full cup of Parmesan cheese 🤯

[gruff cowboy voice] you just lived your laugh love, partner.

"go jump in a lake", "take a long walk off a short pier", "put an egg in your shoe and beat it", "go peddle your papers" these are just some of the violent, actionable threats journalists and academics face every two to three months on bluesky, or as some call it The Murder Website.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

I saw the new Mario movie with my kids and it was…fine. The best part was when the credits rolled and I learned that Donald Glover played Yoshi. That’s kinda delightful actually.

I know it’s competing with an illegal war and 10,000 other major scandals but I feel like people should be making a bigger deal out of the DefSec systematically trying to resegregate the military

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

On this TDOV, please visit this link and tell the Mayor to make good on his fine words, fine Mt. Sinai and Langone for denying trans kids health care, and direct NYC Hospitals + Health to provide those kids care. gregpak.net/2026/03/27/t...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! It's a great day to support trans-owned publications :) Below, we've threaded a couple of our favorite trans-run newsletters and websites. Throw a subscription their way today!

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

How can therapy be regulated as an evidence based therapeutic intervention if therapists have a First Amendment right to say anything to any client? If therapy can't be regulated as a therapeutic intervention, why would insurance pay for it any more than it pays for newspaper subscriptions?

try and imagine a bigger W as an academic

fyi this isnt a one-off. the new york times CONSTANTLY does this. it is on purpose. citation -> www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Caturday birdwatching

There were lots of good signs at my neighborhood protest today but my favorite was just this guy holding a little handmade sign that said “you’ve upset my wife”

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

Small reminder again to not give JKR any money, attention or power, or anything really. Because holy shit she is evil. She's not protecting women, her warped view is doing incredible damages to so many people.

It's really funny that the New York Times has a whole separate set of verified social media accounts just to reply to people with "actually we're doing a great job"

if any person who follows me is still subscribed to the Hated New York Times, let this be the death knell. they do not know the ama’s statements better than the ama’s own chair, and the only reason why they would stick to their guns this hard is their ideological commitment to transphobia

Brb, gotta go make a batch of teriyaki eggs (scrambled eggs with teriyaki sauce) served in a warm flour tortilla

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

All of the money ever made by all of the harry potter books and movies and games and all the things ever said about them all rolled up into one and multiplied by a hundred thousand is still not worth the life of a single trans kid.

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

I've been working on this piece for a few months, and I won't lie it's hurt to go from hearing the suffering inflicted by this transphobic theocracy to seeing progressives sing its praises. The bishops' ban is the most extensive trans healthcare ban in the country. It deserves way more attention.

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

virtually every main social ill we face right now is downstream from the fact that rich people have more money than they know what to do with. national security risk
