Most Americans: I’m going to die working this job 😞 Members of Congress: I’m going to die working this job! 😃

1. Trump has weaponized the FCC to control the media under his autocratic rule. Now, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is turning the agency towards his next target: transgender characters in TV shows. He seeks to change the rating system to penalize trans characters. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"She didn't have to make any changes to her platform to get Liz Cheney's support."

Decided to do a little more digging to learn more about those 2020 Biden voters who skipped 2024, why they skipped, and what sort of message might win them back, and found this helpful research by Celinda Lake from last year: waytowin.docsend.com/view/rnv5spt...

Starmer has questions to answer: * Jimmy Savile. * Effectively legalised rape. * Rewards sex pests with a gong. * Onboards the paedo adjacent. * Abused poor kids. * Abused disabled kids. * Abused trans girls.

U.N. Women published a report detailing how Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls since 2024.

Sometimes I think of how some of us used to be the most diehard Vote Blue people you'd ever meet but aren't anymore, and how that clearly demonstrates that a party's actions *do* have a material effect on turnout and retention, but these types just pretend that isn't a real thing that happens.

Reminder that most people who didn't vote in 2024 didn't do so out of a desire to "smash Democrats," so maybe it's really stupid to constantly attack people who didn't vote and constantly smear them. Just a thought! www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Mamdani had a record voter turnout for NYC and won on a landslide because he ran on a platform that made people WANT to vote. It’s not rocket science. The lesser of two evils logic doesn’t work in practice without giving people something else on top of it.

The problem is that this is objectively true. People need to understand that supporting hp is supporting the erasure of trans people

If you defend Rowling in any shape or form you are dead to the trans community. Simple as that!

It’s the classic media problem: Democrats are supposed to be moral and consistent, so doing a cynical move to counter Republican bullshit is grounds for a handwringing and somewhat complex story. Republicans blatantly cheating with a mid-decade seat-stealing campaign is treated like the weather.

This is what happens at concentration camps

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. buff.ly/d6rXj5h

If Tony Stark were real, he'd absolutely be in the Epstein files.

I think i lesson of the past yr or so is that alot of "2010s sjw bullshit" was correct in hindsight

💯

Political hot take: there is nothing inherently wrong or bad about immigration or immigrants, and constantly bitching about it is just racism.

I’m going to leave the ‘do economists understand real world factors’ debate, with a favourite cartoon

My people, you never ever have to "give it to" Tucker Carlson. He is an antisemitic asshole, and trying to tie him into genuine antizionism only stains the movement.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

How many times do the American people need to tell her, we don't want her. Literally had to drop out before the first primary in 2020 cuz she was polling so low, only became the nominee in 2024 after Biden refused to drop out until it was too late to have a primary, and still fucking lost. Fuck her!

I get that the acceptable line about 9/11 was that they attacked us because they "hate our freedoms" or whatever, but that's always been BS. It's how you'd explain 9/11 to a kindergartner. But 9/11 was the unintended consequence of decades of U.S. foreign policy. To pretend it's not true is insane.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

The media framing of Kayne West as having uttered 'anti-semitic remarks in the past' is so infuriating. The man said 'Heil Hitler' publicly. He sold Swastika t-shirts in his merch shop. He outright stated he's a Nazi. The press should be repeatedly asking why hatred has been paid and invited here.

Flip this around. "American researcher in China dies after 'hostile questioning' by government authorities" How would the U.S. react?

We have a real viable progressive candidate in Maine with a background in public health, healthcare, and repro justice— who defends trans kids unabashedly. Also no dodgy tattoos. Why are people settling? People said Mamdani was a pipe dream, too.

It is entirely possible to criticize Israel, to be an antizionist without being antisemitic. That is NOT the case with Dahl. Dahl WAS an antisemite. But also fuck Lithgow for prioritizing his career over trans lives by working on terf queen's wizard boy bullshit.

Happy appropriated pagan fertility festival everyone

Just such a deeply ingrained ideology that there must be a suffering working class to absorb the actions of the super rich ruling classes and their games of war and capitalism

Yep, that's exactly who we need to celebrate, the man known as "the gravedigger of democracy"

Swiped this from someone

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.

The story of the last five and a half years (and really the last twenty four, if you go back to 2002) is the Arab states putting forward extremely modest proposals to improve relations with Israel and Israel basically just, repeatedly, saying no.

This birthright citizenship case isn't about immigrants at all. It's about the ability to deport US citizens born on this soil who have been deemed "domestic terrorists" in the ICE database.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

I'll be honest, I don't really give a fuck about sports, so it's not like I've done a bunch of research in the topic or anything. But I'm not sure if sex segregation in sports is necessary, or even desirable.

my take on todays experience at a couple no kings things elected dem: we need bipartisan, common sense solutions to kitch- white boomers: GENERAL STRIKE

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

you'll never convince me that Chappell Roan hate isn't manufactured by people who blame her for Kamala losing
