This sums it perfectly. This is NOT about sports. This is about finding a way to justify discrimination against trans people. It opens the door for more and worse. www.instagram.com/reels/DaOo3Y...

I am glad the three progressive Dems won their primaries. The party establishment needs a kick in the ass. Cook Political Report rates NY-07 D+25, NY-10 D+32, and NY 13 D+32. It also rates NH-1 D+2 and NH-2 D+2. Winning in November matters. Just because someone may win in one district doesn't mean

Hmm... Wedding cakes? Protected. Dreds? Not protected. I can't qwhite put my finger on the difference. bsky.app/profile/serg...

The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle. -Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925

🦫🇨🇦 "Now what?" Trump's cage-fighting event by Dave Whamond, a Canadian cartoonist and children's book author. cagle.com/dave-whamond...

This is a harmless but instructive example of why sometimes it's just as well not to join in the chorus just because it's singing a tune that confirms your priors, i.e. the tarps are there to protect Trump's ego.

I mean, assuming enough people repeat it:

I want to know more… I’m thirsty to discover… I’m looking for more I want answers… But more importantly i want questions

This insane and inhumane

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Sometimes I grow weary of the "Can you just imagine if Obama..." type comments that follow Trump's most recent outrage. This one however really struck me. Never mind "can you imagine if," I have to believe that their wasn't a poltician alive who would even THINK about something like this in 1976.

It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month. Stonewall was a riot. Trans rights are human rights. No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans. Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy. They don’t get to steal our joy.

Pure joy

Fuck ICE

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

US Launches New Strikes on Iran As Negotiators Near Finish Line On Deal To End Hostilities - The Washington Post (probably)

Somewhat tongue in cheek I wrote this as a reply to a post on May 23 about how we were SO close to an Iran deal: "We are on the cusp of a breakthrough that will lead to a preliminary understanding of the outlines of a potential deal." And then...

Honest to fucking god. How fucking gullible are these fucking morons? How many fucking times are they going to reprint some bullshit from Trump without even a hint of critical thinking? "He's lied so many times before there's NO way he'd try to do that again!" 🤪 wapo.st/4drf0D4

The problem with this kind of "positive thinking" is that it's true about anything at any time. I like to think that most of us are capable of holding two different, even opposing, thoughts/feelings at the same time. So yeah, do something nice for someone but stay angry about Colbert. You can do it.

Wow, that left wing political violence really is the greatest threat to our nation. 🙄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is equal parts disturbing and hilarious (ok, maybe more disturbing) youtu.be/vtpCZn39LUY?...

Since acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has confirmed that “Anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they are a victim of weaponization,” I decided to apply for reparations. Here is a template if you want to draft your own demand: shero.substack.com/p/everyone-c...

Fuck both of them I've been immersed in politics to a greater or lesser extent for 50 years. I do not recall a time when a politician straight up lied to my face. On June 24, 2024 both Sen. Shaheen and Sen. Hassan stood before those of us who gathered on the State House lawn in solidarity

Fellow NH voters, WTF indeed. Are Jeanne and Maggie just that stupid or have they completely sold out to MAGA? Shaheen's a lost cause of course, but if Hassan runs again she needs to be primaried into the fucking sun.

Mic drop… this is a work of art… have a listen Midterms are coming….check your voter registration 💙

Community Vigil for Juniper Blessing this Sunday at 6PM in front of the NH State House. Juniper was a trans woman who was murdered this week in Seattle, there will be speakers and an open mic section for community members to share their grief. Please spread the word. fb.me/2DoksbpQTLse...

Chief Justice Roberts says the court isn't political. This week, six justices "read" 107 pages of legal briefing in 38 minutes and let Alabama gerrymander its congressional map mid-election. The stopwatch says otherwise.

It's important to pay attention to the details, but still. What in the ever-living fuck is this?

Idle thought: when was the last time you saw a news story about hiring more teachers, expanding resources in schools, reducing class sizes, etc.?

Them: Libertarians are principled thinkers who believe that people are fundamentally good and if left to their own devices will work together with others for the benefit of all. The rest of us: Um... indepthnh.org/2026/05/12/n...

New Hampshire Democrats! Remember that both Shaheen and Hassan voted to confirm this shitbird (Hassan twice(!) because she voted for him in committee). This is why NH is seeing such vigorous primary challenges against establishment Dems. wapo.st/49GUZpC (gift article)

Threat? What? "Firing" is the antithesis of a ceasefire not a threat to one. Like, definitionally. The two things cannot coexist. Is the Schrodinger's ceasefire?

I wrote this on March 6, 2024 in response to someone who said they'd never vote for Biden because of Gaza. I realize it's harsh and my tone could have been better, but I'd invite anyone to point out where any single thing I wrote hasn't come to pass.
