NEW: A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits.

It's absurd how many people still stand for the national anthem. "I still love my country even though I hate Trump," they say. Really? What in particular?

Saw Suffs last night, and I'm still offended by the terribly inaccurate Polish accent in the portrayal of Ruza Wenclawska. Why do people just assume Polish people sound like a Russian/German hybrid? It's not accurate at all! And nobody seems to notice!

This is not the outcome we sought. But here is what you need to know: today’s ruling is about how conversion therapy can be regulated. It does not mean it is safe or legal. It isn’t. Conversion therapy is still medical malpractice and consumer fraud.

The Olympic ban on trans athletes apparently justifies it by claiming trans women have the testosterone of cis men. Not only is this not true, but many have testosterone levels even lower than cis women. The Guardian printed this without even attempting to question or fact check it.

This policy is much more problematic for intersex athletes. They were assigned female at birth, socialized as women, and have female genitalia but will be classified as male. They're entire sports careers will be ruined for this cruel eugenicist project of sex purity.

oh and one of the main studies that proved trans women have no advantage in sports? one of the most in depth and comprehensive studies? the goddammed motherfucking ioc did it. they know we don't have an advantage *they* proved it themselves. and they're caving to bigots anyway.

"I believe so utterly in male supremacy that I think a woman can't ever beat a man at anything, and the mere presence of a Y chromosome is an overwhelming advantage at sportsball. Therefore, we must eradicate trannies from ever participating in society. Buy more wizkidlit." -- This website of late

Even NBC News is using the "biological females" eugenicist language now.

Sporting bodies reviewing the evidence showing no advantage of trans women, be like...

even if trans women had a biological advantage at sports we let people with biological advantages participate in sports all the time—at a professional level they're basically required—and no one cares because those advantages don't trigger a reflexive discomfort in cis people

This'll have virtually no effect on trans women, who already weren't competing in the Olympics (in the more than 20 years in which trans women could participate in the Olympics, a grand total of... 1 actually made a team. She came in dead last in her event). However.... apnews.com/article/ioc-...

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Oh so when the Bluesky ceo is transitioning it’s fine but when WE do it

oh no! they're replacing the ceo who sucks with another ceo who sucks

NEW at SCOTUS: the court votes 6-3 to block a California law preventing public schools from outing gender-questioning students to their parents.

Season 2 Episode 35 - Frame 2398 out of 2739

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

This administration continues to be absolutely fucking disgusting. Leave trans people alone and let them live their lives. And shame on Scouting America for agreeing to this bullshit.

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Transphobia is an astroturfed moral panic invented from whole cloth by people on the Epstein list

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

The Kansas legislature has overridden the veto and passed a bathroom ban with a bounty provision. This bill also directs the Kansas DMV to revoke the driver's licenses of trans people, the first state to pass such a law. www.ksnt.com/capitol-bure...

Did you know that strawberries are not berries, and are actually mammals?

I'm not sure I can adequately describe how much I want to strangle the people who use the term "biological male". Fuck everyone who mainstreamed this awful awful term

The president of the ASPS is a huge Trump supporter if you're wondering why they shifted positions now to align with the Trump Administration. He's donated substantially to Trump and Ted Cruz. This was a political decision. www.fec.gov/data/receipt...

ASPS members are regularly doing boob jobs, nose jobs, and other cosmetic surgery on teens under 19. This is their own report! But they aren't discouraging that because it's a cash cow for their members.

The American society of plastic surgeons has no issue with the tend of thousands of minors getting nose jobs and other cosmetic surgery but they decided that they want to support bans on trans youth care and align with Trump's EO rather actual medical science www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

you, jk rowling, invited jeffrey epstein to a harry potter premiere after he was outed for being a pedophile, AND you think lolita was a tragic love story? huh. interesting. …actually ms rowling, just one more thing

JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

😂😂😂😂

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

NEW: Dozens of detained immigrant families braved the cold outside the Dilley, TX facility to protest conditions and long detentions, sparked by the recent arrest of 5 y.o. Liam Conejo Ramos. A detainee said the boy & his dad briefly participated. apnews.com/article/texa...

Honestly nothing feels different here today at all. There are still ICE raids all over, they're still letting people out at Whipple into the cold with nothing, and like you said, people still need food and rent money.

1. Wasn’t at a protest 2. Was disarmed when they shot him while he was face down 3. New gun rights rule: the second amendment is when conservatives can carry guns everywhere, but if anyone else has a gun we can kill him on sight bsky.app/profile/atru...

"The armed suspect reacted violently." An outright, barefaced and monstrous lie, conclusively disproven by irrefutable video evidence.

TMZ is now more reliable than the US govt and writes more truthful headlines than most so-called “serious” outlets www.tmz.com/2026/01/24/n...

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Thank you to everyone who worked hard to preserve this video. It shows ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse. Watch, save, and share. 💔

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
