the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

I can vouch for Marisa, she's fantastic and will handle this story with the care it deserves.

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share. Who's with me? (I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

Tonight, the world's most famous rapist and alleged pedophile will deliver up to three hours of a propaganda show to rally his base and convince them that the benefits of voting for him outweigh revealing all the child sex trafficking crimes. That's what tonight is about.

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party" Here is a long list of lawless, authoritarian, ongoing things that require his immediate impeachment & removal. What in G-d's name are you talking about here? bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Gavin Newsom is the wrong choice—for trans people and for Democrats xtramagazine.com/pow... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

No, what's disrespectful is for the U.S. men's hockey team to yuk it up like fucking clowns in response to Trump mocking the U.S. women's hockey team during a locker room call. Fuck you and fuck the permission you offer for misogyny.

A 21-year-old Moroccan woman was beaten by her family when they found out she was a lesbian. She sought asylum in the US & Trump tried to deport her to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal. Sometimes we get distracted by how incompetent our country has gotten, we forget how evil it has gotten.

One day in the future, this is going to hang on the wall of a museum exhibit people visit in silence.

Trans people for the past decade: This isn't actually about sports or ensuing there's appropriate screening before someone starts medically transitioning. The goal is to effectively criminalize the existence of all trans people. Very Reasonable Journalists: You're crazy

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

The California governor’s backpedaling on trans rights represents a grim shift, two years out from the first presidential primaries, writes @katelynburns.com:

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised! New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

It’s the Epstein Administration. No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting. H/T: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

The framing of transgender existence as ideology is unscientific and bigoted. Just because it is widely used by the GOP and broader political right does not mean media and pollsters need to use the bigoted framing to be neutral. They shouldn’t. They should only ever note the scientific consensus.

On every important vote that matters, Susan Collins votes with Trump. Every time her vote could stop something he’s trying to do, she votes with him. She is a fake moderate with a MAGA voting record. A vote for Susan Collins is a vote to give Trump more power.

I have appreciated Amanda’s efforts here so I’m disappointed she’s wrapping things up by spreading misinformation. I can assure you as someone whose neighborhood has been crawling with ICE in recent days that we are not in the “aftermath” of anything.

judge a quarterback by whether or not he defrauds millions of dollars from poor people

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Wait until she finds out about the all gender bathroom on the plane!

If anyone was wondering, the ~23% reduction in ICE agents in Minnesota apparently doesn't include the ones down the street that are lurking, now as I type this, as vulnerable folks are getting their kids to the school bus this morning. We cannot rest until ICE is gone, entirely.

🚨BAD BILL MOVING🚨 Republicans just advanced a federal trans sports ban out of committee. This bill isn't just dangerous for the trans community—it puts EVERY girl & woman who plays sports at risk. We urge the House to reject this extreme bill.

It's the kind of fraud that we don't even have a name for yet, but history will use to mock us forever (best-case scenario).

This was a remarkably crazy response by Mike Johnson's standards. He's going full "stop the steal" and clearly would line up behind any effort Trump makes to rig the midterms and 2028 elections

Opening yet another Overton Window. 🪟

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the position of the Trump Republican Party is: “constitution, nonstarter.”

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested. While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

24 hours later: Trump has two journalists arrested

This is precisely why looking only at Noem or Baldoni focuses too low; it's the same myopia that caused the Garland DOJ to focus on those who defecated in the Capitol and attacked officers, but not the people who planned and caused them to be there and protected them after their crimes.

Who’s next? One demotion cannot detract from accountability. Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Abbott’s just placating people without saying a goddamned thing that is even remotely helpful to solve anything. He is encouraging this behavior! His idea of “recalibrating” is completely different than the American people’s. He started this incredible cruelty with those razor-wire covered barrels!

“If your state doesn’t help us we will be forced to murder its citizens” is an argument that only works on people who are already subnormal bootlickers.

Always a gut wrenching read

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

Remember.

Dear Media: people who vote for Donald Trump, especially after Jan 6, do not actually care about “following our nation’s laws.” They’re just authoritarians. Laws are to be used on the people they don’t like. History backs this up pretty hard. Hope this clears things up a bit.

Did it say “Stop the count in Florida”?

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.
