Whenever you see "Trans" in a news story, replace it with "Jew" or "Black" and see how it sounds.

This is where my grandma and her family are buried, and it's so cool to know that there are lots of old klezmer musicians buried there too!

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah, about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. Not racism and homophobia.

SHAME!!

This is so smart and funny. Click through to see the context.

Yep!

For the future of the country, we NEED to impeach Trump.

Always more Trump content at all times. Fucking sick of it man

I know there are more important things to be upset about (trans rights, global dynamics, human rights abuses, etc.) but damn. He is painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool swimming pool blue. It's just so tacky. He is the tackiest President.

1. A new Fox News poll shows Democrats at +13 on transgender issues. Voters find Democrats positions on trans people much more preferable to Republicans. This includes urban and suburban voters, moderates, religious voters, and more. Subscribe to support our journalism.

9. Democrats should take note: running on support for transgender people is not the political liability it was made out to be in the aftermath of 2024. It is, as the data now consistently shows, a position the majority of voters find vastly more palatable than the Republican approach.

Political propaganda for the line of King David in the oldest portion of the Hebrew Bible.

Over half of Americans want Congress to impeach Trump now, according to a new poll. One in seven Republicans backs it.

I love my Congresswoman.

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.

Rightwing dudes: "Women shouldn't be in leadership. Women shouldn't vote. They're not rational like men." Also, somehow, rightwing dudes: "The hand of God teleported me to a Waffle House."

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

It sounds bad to say “we only want white men in positions of authority.” So instead you insist it’s “DEI” whenever most non-whites & women are promoted. (And you avoid speaking the tacit premise: Of course they couldn’t have actually been qualified because… well, you know.)

This thread is right on.

Well done. #NoKings

the government is saying “underage girls are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention centers” instead of saying “ICE agents are raping & impregnating underage girls.”

Voter fraud is so rare that Donald Trump has been convicted of more felonies than the total number of confirmed cases of illegal voting in US federal elections in the last 20 years. #SaveActTaxesVoting

Tim Sheehy should be arrested.

The new DHS nominee on the murder of Renee Good...

This is a policy of genocide.

our governor is slick-haired trash but our AG has shown himself to be a pretty good dude

This is why the "identity politics vs. kitchen table issues" divide is false. What are we worried about at my kitchen table? Whether or not my children's lives are threatened, health needs are met, and humanity is recognized. Trans issues ARE kitchen table issues.

I need people to talk me out of knitting this. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

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...

"Identity politics... you know, pronouns" serves the same dogwhistle if the fascist saying it wears red or blue.

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

Here's how it went in Nazi Germany. The original plan was to deport Jews, mostly to Madagascar. That proved to be impossible, so they started to build the camps. Then they realized it was very expensive to feed these people, so they stopped feeding them. Then... We're at "building the camps" now.

Here's something that's a nice little break from the rest of the dystopian present timeline.

The US government is spending taxpayer dollars to sue a 5-year-old refugee/kindergartener for seeking asylum here through the legal and proper channels when he was an infant

"How exactly are body cameras going to fix anything?" Joe said, exasperated, last week. "That guy filmed himself murdering that lady in the minivan! The problem is they think laws don't apply to them!"

The government arresting journalists and killing civilians who record them is TEXTBOOK FASCISM.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

@padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov, your turn to step up.

"Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience." Thank you, @amandagorman.bsky.social.
