If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

What?!?!

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing. This is Project 2025

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost. We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account. To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

I listened to the Supreme Court's oral argument today so you dont have to With the notable exception of Alito & Thomas carrying on like 'what if aliens were gonna destroy the world and the only thing that could stop it was a tariff,' the Court seemed Not Into It ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/learn...

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

It would be cheaper to spend money feeding people. But our christian country is against that.

The Python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5 million U.S. government grant because it required them to renounce all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. www.theregister.com/2025/10/27/p...

How now brown cow?! 😂😂😂🤭🤭

Another Happy CaturDogDay

“When you start asking if it’s worth standing up for trans people, you’ve already lost the moral argument,” Democrat Dylan Blaha told me in an interview about why he’s challenging an Illinois congresswoman from the left. www.advocate.com/politics/dyl...

When Trump hears what Ronald Reagan said about immigrants he’s going to have DOJ arrest him for mortgage fraud.

I wish people defended smeared victims of sexual violence the way they defend problematic male candidates for office

The people MAGA claims are ANTIFA terrorists—read: ANTI-FASCISTS—are currently spraining their ankles running all over Al Gore's Internet™️ trying to justify continuing to support a candidate with a Nazi tattoo on his chest who thinks "Black people don't tip" & rape victims are asking for it.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

A bad journalist misrepresenting data to push his own agenda? No way! @alyssaur.bsky.social looks at Jesse Singal and his piece in The Economist for this week's TWIBS.

what sexuality is liking both tomboys and femboys?

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life. Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

Imagine in 2025, after all the times Black women warned literally everyone about everything that’s happening right now, announcing that Black women commentators are just very paranoid When we have been right???????? This whole time????? About pretty much everything????????????!

My wife died last week, and one of my two "best friends" decided she couldn't be there for me and blocked me. i feel like my life has fallen apart. i can't put this on FB where my family is, just here where no one knows me. (im in therapy so im just venting)

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.” So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

Ouch SCOTUS

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used. As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how Part 1: is your work in Libgen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.

Let’s say this again. Read this carefully, line-by-line, so you don’t forget. Gender affirming care is not harmful to patients. In fact, it’s actually shown to REDUCE rates of suicide in transgender people by up to 70%.

ICE agents in DC today appear to be focusing on the North Capitol Street corridor. One is wearing a Texas-themed hat and a “thin blue line” patch that says SEND ME. Again: Keep an eye out for an unmarked black Ford truck with the Texas plate NTV9211.

Trump administration moves to bar states and even private (!) nonprofits, such as Red Cross, from helping undocumented immigrants after disasters. Evil. s2.washingtonpost.com/4467742/68af...

Did Cracker Barrel changed their logo because of Trump‘s post?

For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader? I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

you cant deter crime thru relentless force. the longer it’s applied, the more visible errors accrue & the more citizens feel occupied. distrust in authority dissolves cooperation and you can’t solve crimes without citizens’ help. when police are a community’s enemy solving crime there is impossible.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think

1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults. It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage. It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US. Subscribe to support our journalism.

And here you go. I honestly do not understand the moral cowardice that leads some of our fellow citizens to not speak out against what's going on.

Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.
