Ya the reason I'm taking all this in stride is because unlike most of this site I didn't want Trump to win the 2024 election over that bitch Holocaust Harris so I'm not seething with guilt about my convictions like so many of you clearly are.

It’s really draining and soul-sucking to keep having to talk myself through why this latest bill specifically designed to destroy my life is, on balance, unlikely to pass. Vote blue. Do it for people like me. Stop making us live through this.

It’s true that the GOP’s “make it a federal crime to mention trans people within 50 feet of a child” bill will likely never pass. That doesn’t mean it isn’t traumatic. Vote blue so people like me don’t have to read headlines like “GOP bill would make it illegal for trans people to eat.”

Olympia, WA just codified protections for polyamorous and non-monogamous families. Now renters can move all their partners in without claiming "room mate" or "friend" to avoid discrimination. theolympian.com/news/local/a...

Trump is is the candidate the Anti-War crowd wanted to win the 2024 election.

Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

What you now have is the public town square where Stormfront discourse is not just acceptable, but celebrated as finally freeing yourself from the oppressive shackles of Those Who Know The Truth But Won't Let You Say It. Which gets to the reason why it's so important to leave X, which is:

AI-fueled RAM crisis forces retro game preservation site to permanently close:

For House of Mystery, I was describing a demon’s office in hell and asked Luca Rossi to draw “one of those posters with a kitten hanging from a tree branch that says ‘hang in there’” because I thought that would be funny. He, being Italian, had never seen those posters, so he drew this instead:

The recurring line from execs right now is that AI will remove jobs that “nobody wants to do” because executives have never experienced the joy of caring about something enough to pay attention to the details.

again, gawker was killed to smother its reporting. same with cbs news. and it’ll be the same with cnn. it’s not about what replaces the newsrooms as much as the destruction or capture of them. less reporting = more elite impunity

A senior CBS News staffer expressed sympathy for employees at CNN who are frustrated and upset over the Paramount news. "I need to keep reminding myself it can - and will - always get worse," the staffer told me, adding that CNN staffers "should" be freaking out since "it's hell over here."

We're suing on behalf of two families whose loved ones were killed when our government bombed their civilian boats in the Caribbean. The Trump administration had no right to kill Chad Joseph, Rishi Samaroo, or anyone else caught up in these illegal extrajudicial killings.

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying. Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free. So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat

The government is poisoning you. Or at any rate making it easier for other people to poison you www.wsj.com/us-news/clim...

AOC quote-posted an Infowars-adjacent fascist as well. It's entirely possible she didn't know who he was and that Platner doesn't know who Peters is, but the point is that this is X now. The algorithmic feed is going to be fascism, that's all users see. Liberal politicians should stop using it.

A law requiring IDs to reflect “sex at birth” is now voiding licenses across Kansas. People could face misdemeanor charges just for driving to work. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

New @pressfreedom.bsky.social report shows that a record 129 journalists, media workers were killed worldwide in 2025, with Israel responsible for over two-thirds of those killings. And drone killings of journalists spiked from two in 2023 to 39 in 2025 — with Israel responsible for 28 of the 39.

This is the not-so-hidden secret of our university. Just *one* history survey section I teach generates 3x my salary for the university. And I can teach 9 classes a year!

The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news. These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.

When my adult trans kid was planning a move, several family members suggested cities closer to home with the argument that although X state is red, X city is blue. And kiddo was like, "Nope, I need the full power of the state behind me." And this is why.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

“.. the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” said one of the people familiar with discussions. @politico.com #OOTT www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

some YouTube asshole lied about Somalians stealing daycare subsides. so Trump is stealing healthcare from the entire state

A handful of contractors are pulling in big money equipping ICE and CBP with heavy weaponry, ammo, and other accessories as they wage their war on us. I asked Schiff's staff to list out the top contractors per their data. The results are in the chart below. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2069...

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

THREAD 🧵The Epstein Files exposed hundreds of mentions of rich, powerful people who were close with Epstein. These include President Trump, his closest allies, and appointees. Here's what we know:

Macbeth can't deal with murder in theory, but he's fine with the consequences once he does it, Lady Macbeth is happy to fantasize about it, but breaks down once she has to confront it for real.

“Any mail that’s getting dropped into a blue box is not getting postmarked on the same day, and likely not on the day after either,” says the leader of a postal workers’ union. This could have tremendous implications for voting:

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Ancient Egyptians taught extraterrestrials how to construct pyramids

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

The U.S killed three more people in a boat strike in the Caribbean yesterday. The toll of these these extrajudicial killings now exceeds 150 people. All known attacks are chronicled in our tracker, @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

John Gai carried his sick father to a nearby clinic in a wheelbarrow, but he died from cholera on the way. Gai then pushed the wheelbarrow for hours through the camp to take him to the cemetery: “Nobody should have to carry a dead body among the living.”

What is happening to trans people in the US is horrifying. I’m gonna “politicize” it: vote for Democrats. The more people do, the less often trans people will have to uproot their lives and move someplace trans people aren’t being persecuted.
