As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

White on white crime is a tragic epidemic sweeping the country. How many more will we lose to white gang violence and rightwing turf wars? It’s the culture, you know. These white celebrities glamorize a criminal lifestyle & young inner-suburb kids get trapped in the school-to-influencer pipeline.

This is the thread Americans needed to see this weekend to feel better about our country.

I love reporting that talks to actual human people about their views. The Forward interviewed Jewish constituents of Zohran Mamdani who have spent four years with him as their assemblyman. The results are that everyone who meets him does not believe he's antisemitic, even if they disagree on Israel!

I need him as a Senator . My goodness it shouldn’t be this shocking but to see someone who could turn this into an ego run And has decided to stay on “ oh my goodness we don’t treat people like this and we don’t let assholes win when we can stop it” He should never pay for a drink in this city

he's right and he's right to say it

“President Trump is headed to The Hague…” I can’t be the only one who did a double take.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Willi Castro, baseball player for the Minnesota Twins used the trans flag as eye black to showcase his support for our community. I hope he realizes how much this matters for trans people. Especially when the MLB is considered to be a very macho sport. I have so much respect for him. King shit! 🏳️‍⚧️

Target's bold "Pride" collection this year features a colorless hoodie with the words "Out Loud & Proud" written teeny tiny only the string.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

i don't think we should gatekeep the enormous 28 pound bunny that works as a service animal at giants games sometimes. i think we should share news of the 28 pound bunny with the wider internet

you gotta burn your Alexa's folks

Gavin Newsom is so cool. Pure ambition, no values or even loosely held beliefs, assesses the current situation looking for a lane and instantly settles on People Are Into Evil Guys Now and sticks the pivot. Perfect clarity of purpose. He would be a danger to all those around him in any job he had.

Hey everyone -- Moms of Liberty and Dept of Education launched a snitch line portal today to rat out teachers and anyone promoting anything DEI. FLOOD THE PORTAL Spam the hell out of it. Pass it on! It works! enddei.ed.gov

NYC’s largest hospital, New York-Presbyterian, has removed references to gender-affirming care for young people from its website and won’t address questions about those services, days after a presidential order threatening federal funding to hospitals. https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/03/new-york-p…

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Our statement on President Trump’s planned executive actions and policies announced today:

yeah

Trans people told everyone that the people in power would go after every other minority if they didn't stand with us... And guess what happend. But, again, nobody listens to us trans people... We need to stand together, or we will fall one by one

How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

Everybody; Victorian ladies were gracious, proper, well behaved and never silly. Victorian lady;

If we protect the most vulnerable among us, which at the moment is trans women of color, then maybe we will all get free. We are never going to get free by “choosing our battles” and ignoring that the entire country has trained its ire at one percent of the population. I implore you to be better.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_... I liked to point to this guy, a contemporary of the founders, who sat there on his big Virginia plantation and realized “hey this is bad” and didn’t just free the enslaved but paid their way out of state.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theater

So cool to have a country that wants to add good stuff to the Constitution instead of tearing the whole thing up and pissing on the shreds

What was the game that got you into gaming?

For some reason the X-Men animated series theme fits perfectly with the Garfield and Friends intro.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

NYT tech staff are on strike, do not cross the digital picket line! They are asking that people refrain from playing the games and using the Cooking app. News content is still fair game, if you want to do that to yourself.
