When you ask trans ppl why they want to transition they will most likely fall back on commonly understood stereotypes about what each gender is better at bc they are trying to get you to accept the answer by using the common language of gender.

Hi these are concentration camps

they fired everybody who knows that Puerto Ricans are American

You know, one of the reasons I didn't transition until my 30s is because every time I would attempt to puzzle through "I want to be a guy", people would always demand "WHY?!" and then when I fumbled trying to explain physical traits (the only vocab I had) they accused me of being anti-feminist

the other funny thing is that people like Bezos and Weiss talk as if they're analytics wizards, but then they'll throw gobs of cash at pseudo-intellectual brunchlord cack nobody asked for and nobody actually wants

This is actually pretty huge reporting: there were buyers for shuttered sections of the Post, and Bezos and Lewis didn't even respond to the offers.

You know how I keep saying that every damn skill and capacity is needed in this moment??? What do you know how to do that can serve in this critical time??

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

Acecdotally, when we called him on Thursday as part of a union action, the number was disconnected

wait wait wait ... TUMBLR. THE PORN BAN GUY FROM TUMBLR IS GOING TO RUN THE WASHINGTON POST. Look I've been pushing back on the idea that Bezos is intentionally sabotaging the paper but COME ON this is a man who thought he could just take the boobs and dicks off of *Tumblr.*

“Renee and I chose kindness. We believed that every life deserves the same care, treatment, and dignity, no matter who they are or what they look like... That shouldn’t be radical. If it is, then I want Renee and our family to be known for how we practiced radical kindness every day.”

Its actually good and okay to try and find moments of joy during the horrors. Dont let anyone shame you for it.

lol great job buddy

Imagine having the gall to snipe Marisa fucking Kabas

I swear to god man

What’s darkly funny is that there’s an old CIA manual about this, and how if enough people do it, it can destabilize a country. It’s still on their website right now after being declassified in 2008.

But it IS Horton (not a repurposed account), according to these posts: bsky.app/profile/capt...

sometimes I'm envious of those whose closeted self-denial logic was "of course, I want to be the opposite sex, doesn't everyone? doesn't make me trans" just seems less damaging than the closeted trans woman's best friend "wanting to be a girl must just be a weird fetish, doesn't make me trans"

As for namedropping Harpers: bsky.app/profile/puns...

I'm admittedly a very pompous little man but I make every effort to ensure that "retweeted by Evan Urquhart" approaches the level of confidence of accuracy as "printed in your local newspapers."

Mea culpa - I was among the re-skeeters. Scott Horton has a blue check and name checks Harper's Magazine as his employer in his bio. That does not, apparently, mean his posts can be assumed accurate.

This is a terrible metaphor, but it's like if you were born in a place and never appreciated it and then someone moves there intentionally and is like "don't you love all these restaurants, and the beach, and the weather, and the culture" and it's like "oh yeah, those are great!"

I don't talk a lot about sexism aimed at transmascs any more, bc it feels like there are bigger fish to fry, but it didn't stop happening.

Think about all that could have been avoided if you all had just listened to trans people and took their wellbeing seriously? www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

On the train to Portland, listening to three young female-presentimg people who I would characterize as outwardly conforming to the expectations of young women...

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

This is almost certainly an undercount. Inquests into deaths can often take years. Even obvious suicides are often ruled as accidents due to cultural and religious norms. Further, many families may not be supportive and their trans identity may not have been known outside of friends.

Lord forgive me, but it's time to go back to the old me: Trying to get dudes on the Internet to say "patriarchy" about the Epstein files:

So Bezos won’t sell…

The reason I’m not writing about Trump’s racist post is because I see no value in repeating what I’ve been saying for nearly two decades about the man. Here’s a piece I wrote for CNN in 2011. www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION...

This guy got beaten by a bunch of masked thugs whose salaries are paid by our taxes simply for being Mexican. Help him out.

tfw you leave Plato’s cave awfulannouncing.com/nfl/pat-mcaf...

"America isn't a child" I am talking about ways to motivate Americans to be better Here's a way that might make more sense to some leftists: stop centering feelings of white guilt and DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THE FUTURE BETTER

Most people understand that you can't motivate a child to do better by reminding them of every single bad thing they've ever done and telling them they've been stupid and worthless their whole lives Why do so many people use that same approach with the nation and expect different results?

The new appointee in charge is learning the costs of politicization. He has no criminal justice experience. The people who know what they are doing are leaving. Actual criminal prosecutions are not being done. Authoritarianism inevitably bends towards incompetence.

This is exactly correct. Biden (out of genuine ideological extremism) and Harris (out of generic cowardice) both were extremely pro-Israel, to the displeasure of their party's voting base, and pro-Israel groups didn't credit them at all. 100% factually true.

I cannot begin to express how happy I am that everyone, including the people I hate viscerally, now agree with me specifically

Yes!!! And I think it's good actually to embrace that dream as "who we really are" and label all the horrific shit this country has done as NOT who we really are We can acknowledge the evil while also being like "and fuck that shit, that's not our America"

this is exactly why i’ve started calling myself a “public school democrat.” they took me to independence hall on a field trip in elementary school, and i latched on to the soaring, righteous propaganda, hook, line, and sinker. i bought the hype, and the imperative to make it real

The minute details are obviously significantly different but a core similarity between UKR and Palestine is that neither can actually reach a political solution because in each case their corresponding belligerent has an outwardly eliminiationist goal and has shown that it won't deviate from it.

other cities have terrible drivers but the key to Boston driving is that you have no choice because it’s all one way streets built on goat paths so if you miss your turn you are capital-f Fucked and good luck ever get back where you were going you must cut people off to survive

what, and I mean, the fuck

ok. does anyone know if it's twice per athlon or every two athlons

"In Minnesota, a community is coming together to push back against ICE and support their neighbors. It should surprise no one that much of this work is being led by women. Glamour reports from the front lines." www.glamour.com/story/the-wo... @glamour.com

“To move forward, we have to ask critical questions. How can we disrupt the construction of concentration camp infrastructure? What systems must be disrupted to undermine this fascist regime? What alliances must be formed? How can we organize both offensively and defensively in these times?”

Been thinking about this because there are men of color sex pest scientists that I know of who would have fit right in with that crowd's attitude towards women and girls who don't appear on any of those dinner/conference invites and it's clearly because they aren't white

Been thinking a bit about the way that John Brockman acted as Epstein's scientist collector and would organize dinners where Epstein would just happen to show up and I think a lesson here for *white scientists* is if you're being invited to all-white events, that might be actively intentional 🧪

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us. apnews.com/article/immi...
