1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

The administration keeps talking about “trans ideology,” but I think a better discussion would be about the rampant pedophilia ideology that has taken over the government.

An old friend tells me we used to put Playboy centerfolds in our churchy classmate’s notes, and I’d forgotten what hilarious dicks we were.

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

Do not take birth control advice from the “we are scared about low birth rates” party!!!!!

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

We're all just exhausted and when the baby is sleeping the crying and tantrums and throwing things stops and we can catch a nap. "He's finally down?" "Out like a light." "Thank god." "You say that, but it's your turn to change him when he wakes up."

I'm happy they have enough food 😉😉

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

As a white man, I hate AI for appropriating my culture of being confidently wrong about things while using Reddit as a primary source.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I interviewed 20 Virginia House candidates over past few months. Always asked: what are you hearing on the doors? Affordability. Good schools/no vouchers. Chaos/anxiety No one ever mentioned hearing about trans issues - and that was GOP's dominant issue Read @katelynburns.com's analysis. Spot on:

Trump says a key reason Republicans got shellacked was the shutdown. Trump could end the shutdown now by cutting a deal with Democrats to make health care affordable for millions of Americans. He won't do it because he doesn't want to give Dems a win in Congress. He doesn't care if people suffer.

🥺

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

It's all a big grift.

It’s possible that I’ve wasted my life. Probable, even.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Speaker Johnson: “If we had a contingency fund for SNAP we’d use it.” REALITY: There is one, Trump literally just deleted it off the USDA site 🤷🏼 More: www.notus.org/trump-white-...

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Less than 1% of the population is foiling the Rs, who have all three branches of government. Talk about low energy.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.” – the White House press secretary, yesterday

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence” when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Holy fucking shit!! The East Wing is gone. It’s fucking gone.

This is gone now. The East Wing lobby two years ago.

People who screamed “our history!” when we took down statues of disgraced slavers and traitors are curiously silent about an entire WING of the White House being illegally razed.

FedEx drivers can drive but apparently can’t read numbers on houses. Second delivery this week to the neighbors. FFS

Honestly, I don't want to watch every rando who makes a video. Coulda been an email.

I wish people would stop talking about the 25 Amendment. Read it. Never happen.

“The attacks on transgender Americans are not happening in isolation,” former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness and Force Management Shawn Skelly told me. “They’re a test run for dismantling democracy itself.” www.advocate.com/news/pentago...

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people. It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people. Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Holy Crap!. This is amazing! Newsom certainly has a great social media game.
