Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

This is what it sounds like when you take the time to listen to folks—and you’re not bought by the corporations who are screwing them.

As expected, now that the Democractic party can rely on Trumps falling popularity to win races, it no longer needs to reflect on why it lost in 2024. In other words, no lessons learned, no progressive policy push, minimal reversal of Trump's orders, and another 4 to 8 years until the next fascist.

This framing is dishonest. It was a bipartisan bill. Enough Republicans actually defected and voted no to kill the bill. Three Democrats crossed over to save it. They should be stripped of their committee assignments and thrown out of the party, quite frankly.

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

Just saw an ICE recruitment ad in the middle of the Christmas movies on Freeform. So sick of these goons

Bringing this meme back for the season

Gonna try to save some water bill money this winter and just let the wet man out rather than turn on the humidifier

I wrote about the lost holiday tradition of WASSAILING. People would liquor up, bundle up, and show up at the homes of the ruling class; singing, dancing, and demanding gifts. And if gifts weren't provided, things would get gnarly! What if we brought this back? www.mindthemoss.com/p/here-come-...

1. No, just like how they don't opt out of Medicare now 2. CMS 3. Ideally no, but that's how HMOs work. Millions of people have HMOs 4. Yes, thats cheaper than premiums+deductibles 5. No, but that's a thing insurance companies already do. 6. Again, already a thing 7. Yes. Obviously.

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

Load bearing Edvinsson, apparently. Hold on for 5 more minutes, fellas

for the record, this is sherrone moore, which is not who the person pictured in the post is

“At the end of the day, judge me by my haters,” Smeltzer said. “Their boos mean nothing to me, because I’ve seen what makes them cheer.” 🔥✍️

i guess a dose of anything is potentially fatal. i drank a potentially fatal diet coke earlier.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Looking to spread some yuletide cheer with my new song “Big Nick Christmas”

Today is Halo Infinite's four-year anniversary. Official Halo social media accounts celebrated this, but I'm mourning the game we were promised and lamenting what we got instead. kotaku.com/halo-infinit...

Hillary Clinton is so right about how people are seeing horrifying videos on TikTok it's just she doesn't understand they're being released by israeli soldiers who think their war crimes are cool and based

Acquisitions Incorporated just switched to Critical Role's new game system in a huge move in the actual play space

Evangelical proof-texting at its finest. This is right up there with the dude who told me that it's not hypocritical for them to support someone like Trump after complaining about Bill Clinton's morals because Trump is clearly anointed by god the way David was which makes it OK.

This is the small open boat Team Hegseth bombed and then bombed again. It's almost 1700 miles by sea from Trinidad to Miami. There is no way this boat was headed for the US.

Something we discovered in our ep is that the account that initially reported on her essay was created just a few days before this incident. Her mom is a known Qanon lawsuit grifter btw. There’s almost 0 chance this wasn’t a setup. We went through the Fulnecky history with @parkermolloy.com here:

I’m alive

please LOOK at how ridiculous and out of touch your elected officials are. no expert knowledge, no discernment, no care, and want the federal government to manage access to content THEY deem harmful to children. keep in mind this often nets LGBTQ+ content and is used as a mechanism of discrimination

every time someone praises Nuzzi as a stylist it becomes clear to me that they only read Politico and maybe the NYT (but not the magazine). a single Roth blog would turn their brain into mush

The essay reads like the letter Mac wrote to Chase Utley in its always sunny. She didn’t even cite the Bible. There are *zero* connections between demons and gender in scripture. If your essay boils down to just saying “nu uh” then insulting a group of people, you deserve to fail. Shut the fuck up

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

seen on WT Harris in E Charlotte

this is where i insist you have to tell your family stories like this at Thanksgiving! it's the only way they'll ever actually learn what's happening!

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Ever since Amon Ra did the Trump dance, he's been cursed with drops and now injured.

@ryanhartman.bsky.social dear donaar, if someone wished to have you sign their Acq Inc sourcebook this PAX Unplugged, is there a place and time one could meet you for a moment?

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.

[getting drinks with captain hook] Me: so what’s up are you still in a blood feud with that boy Hook: he’s not — we’ve been over this, he doesn’t age. I think he’s older than me Me: I’m just fucking with you how’s Smee

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

What in gremlin hell is wrong with Republicans?

Ughhhhhh

The horrifying emails coming from the Estate (and not the DOJ) made me think about something else. Merrick Garland had access to all the Epstein Files and I'm sure he knows what's in them and he could've gone after Trump for that in addition to J6 but he didn't. Garland protected pedos.

Every ad now

A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex

Thinking of this quote from Mamdani’s victory speech.

Apparently, it is negotiable!

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous
