Transgender Latina beaten outside Washington LGBTQ+ bar after helping man recalls attack www.advocate.com/new... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Trump has been in power for 2% of our nation's history but is responsible for 25% of our debt. It's almost like he's bad at business.

The "cost of living struggles" could be completely solved by raising top marginal income taxes, and imposing sizable wealth taxes on the 0.1%. it would also have the advantage of protecting democracy as well.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Kansas Gov Apologized to Trans Activist Practicing Civil Disobedience in Capitol Bathroom www.them.us/story/ka... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Buffalo Police also arrested a blind man for carrying a curtain rod, and the DA charged him with carrying a weapon for it. They're the ones who held him in jail for the stupidest possible reason until he agreed to a plea deal he almost certainly didn't understand.

OMG, this awful regime wants to drill in CHACO CANYON.

Will never forget — truly think about it too often tbh — how in July of 2024 using the words “ethnic cleansing” in a panel description at an SF convention describing Israel’s actions was considered inflammatory rhetoric & I was asked to reword it to not put off prospective attendees

i can't believe a republican president did what every republican president of the last 50 years has done (exploded the national debt)

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

I've long thought we should tax the use of assets as leverage. Anytime you borrow against an asset, we should treat it like a realization of capital gains.

Transgender people deserve more than visibility. They deserve power. This #TransDayOfVisibility, we’re saying it louder: Your voice belongs on the ballot.

Hmm, if you get hit by car it's: a. something Allegheny County takes seriously, and will evaluate the roadway design and how to prevent the collision in the future, or b. it's your own fault and it is funny. Guess which one Allegheny County chose

Monday - Send more troops Tuesday - Say we’re ending war Wednesday - Send more troops Thursday - Say ending war Friday - Send more troops Saturday - Golf Sunday - Golf

United Nations expert Francesca Albanese’s latest report warns that Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale that “suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent” and that “torture has effectively become state policy” since October 2023.

The NYT actively misinforms its readers.

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

If you are protesting thinking that real change is coming immediately that’s not how any movement works - it’s slow, painstaking and gradual - until it isn’t - then it seems like all at once. You have to put in the hard work.

People need to stop treating the New York Times like it's a legitimate journalism outlet. It hasn't been one for decades. It's a right wing propaganda outlet.

When private equity takes over a care home, deaths at the home rise by an average of 11%. When the private equity company is leveraged more than 75% in debt, the deaths double www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

An abortion ban survived at the North Dakota supreme court last year: 3 of 5 justices voted to strike it down, but it would have taken 4. One of the two justices who voted to uphold the ban (Jerod Tufte) is up for reelection this year; no one has filed to challenge him yet, with 9 days to go.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

We need a vehicle weight tax. If you can justify buying an $80k, 3,000 kg Wagoneer to haul one bag of groceries, taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing your pavement wear and tear plus the added danger to our streets. If you can afford the payments, you can afford to stop asking society to subsidize it.

People should be thinking about this war as downstream of all the generals and admirals fired shortly after the inauguration. Anyone who would be likely to identify risks has either already been fired or got the message.

India passes law to end transgender self-identification.. The country that stood up for trans people gives in to colonial bigotry. qnews.com.au/india-p... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Wait, the New York Times is editorializing in their news coverage and drawing a false equivalence in order to attack Democrats!? I'm shocked... SHOCKED, I TELL YOU!!!

Benzene, a compound linked with leukemia and other blood cancers, is leaking from gas stoves in Europe, a new study finds.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

picture, thousan words, etc etc

State Department issues "Worldwide Caution" memo to all Americans abroad as a result of Trump's war

This is like me starting a fight and redefining victory as “getting my shoes back.”

We're going to owe billions, if not trillions, of dollars in reparations to all these people once actual humans capable of shame are back in charge. Every penny should come from wealth taxes on billionaires and eliminating all tax exemptions for churches.

Our fascist dictator has taken us into an illegal war. His Gestapo stalks the nation. The economy is falling faster than a meteor. Meanwhile, the #BrokenTimes covers what matters most: The ‘Hunger Games,’ Hamptons-Style: Hiring a Private Chef for Summer www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/n...

The circle of fascism Trump is working with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to allow Iranian oil sales. The IRGC is working with Putin to target Iranian drones on U.S. military bases. Putin is working with Trump to manipulate the Hungarian election in favour of Orbán.

I know it is tempting, but I really think we need to quit slandering Idiocracy by comparing it to this regime. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho was a statesman who recognized a crisis, found the smartest guy available, gave him authority to fix it, and celebrated him when it worked.

Godfuckingdammit. So much for it not being sold out from under us to another fascist billionaire. Once it goes public it’s as good as fucked.

Maybe it wasn’t actually a great idea to elect a president who is so vulnerable to sexual blackmail

Oh god, AI is going to get us all killed.

Mayor Frey’s veto today will contribute to mass evictions of residents in our city who were targeted by Operation Metro Surge. It is always more cost-effective to prevent eviction than to try and re-house families who have been evicted. It’s commonsense policy, rooted in compassion.

Me: I would just like a president born later than 1946 *Newsom oozes out from around a corner* Me: not you

It's capitalism. Capitalism has always loomed large in American culture, but it was moderated. By mainline Christian doctrine along with the mores of a democracy--a sense of community and civic responsibility. But capitalism won and those other values were either pushed aside or co-opted.

GOP advantage here has always been based on lying, misinformation and a complicit media. Since those things haven't changed, this is--at best--a blip. Dems can't count on any of this lasting. We can't just move on to business as usual. There has to be hearings and prosecutions for crimes this time.

Sometimes I think about Jamie Leigh Jones, gang raped in Baghdad when she was 19 by a bunch of KBR employees who never saw a day in jail because contractors had carte blanche for crimes in Iraq. KBR even sued her for $2m in court costs. Anyway, I guess Iran bombed their regional HQ in Basra today.

When you mix up your endless wars.

Adherence to the Constitution & the law. Adherence to the truth - we were told after last year’s bombing that Iran’s nuke program was “obliterated.” Opposition to regime change - it’s not our right to tell another sovereign nation who should govern them. That’s just a start John.

The NYT bemoaning the destruction of US scientific institutions is peak irony. This is like the Menendez brothers crying about being orphans.

CBS News and CNN will soon fall under the control of a Trump ally — and it's just the latest domino to fall in the legacy media's capitulation to the administration. Our ask: cancel your subscriptions to Paramount and Warner Brothers and sign up for Democracy Docket. A free way to defend democracy:

Testimony and evidence from 59 Palestinian journalists reveals “strikingly consistent” reports of beatings, sensory deprivation, sexual violence, starvation and medical neglect while detained.

A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them. I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran. So here goes nothing. 🧵
