“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors. This is amazing.

As we approach America's 250th birthday, now is a good time for this reminder: One of our Founders, Thomas Paine, suggested we have a universal basic income for all people 21 and over, funded by a tax on landed wealth and property. Sounds like a hell of a birthday gift, don't you think?

Remember kids: means testing is for smug busybodies and jackasses who want to waste money punishing people for being poor!

Spoiler: It's because he and his boss are racist and sexist pieces of shit

I like this graphic, except for the words "I believe". These aren't personal beliefs that I think everyone is entitled to disagree/have their own version of. These things are basic truths. Loudly denying reality won't make it not real. It's just choosing to hate and fear the truth.

Sending loving Mom energy out to every precious trans person today. If your birth family doesn't want to see you or support you, know that I do. Happy trans day of visibility! 🎉 🏳️‍⚧️💜

The largely Conservative SCOTUS has continued to disgrace the court system by ruling today that Colorado's banning on torturing children is an unconstitutional violation of "freedom of speech". What about children's right to not be subjected to brainwashing? www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Seven-word death punch

The IOC just decided to ruin the Olympics for everyone with a bigoted rule based on utter nonsense that ignores actual science and data. Sorry for the athletes being harmed by this. You deserve better. Fuck the IOC and fuck bigots worldwide. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

I'm not really qualified to assess whether clinging sullenly to a child's book makes you a bad person, but I do think it makes you timid, incurious, and dull. It makes you someone who will sacrifice other people for a memory of comfort. It makes you untrustworthy and weak.

J.K. Rowling's anti-trans stance was exposed in 2019. Almost 8 years ago. Listen to queer folks! There is no excuse to be supporting this hateful author in 2026. 🏳️‍⚧️💙🏳️‍🌈

Breaking: A U.S. district judge in Oregon said he will vacate a declaration made late last year by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that asserted gender-affirming care for young trans people does not meet medical standards of care. www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/j...

My daughter cast her first ballot today and I'm so very proud of her. Remember - when the worst people are running the country, the best resistance is to cast your ballot to replace them with people who actually have empathy and decent values. #VOTE

Your reminder that the current administration is trying to retain power by not letting people exercise their constitutionally protected right to vote. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

West Virginia, once again you take your stance firmly on the wrong side of issues. Do better for your people. #TransRights

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

With alt-text: Agree that I hate this is still relevant.

This. Absolutely this always. Also, every war an administration starts/enters should have to pass a reasonable person test or else they have to explain how they intend to pay for it *without* taking money away from social programs and other actual necessities of government.

Even the villain Vizzini in "The Princess Bride" knew: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia."

In case you had any illusions or hope that this was about anything other than intentionally tormenting vulnerable people, please note this deliberate attack on someone who was ALREADY IN COMPLIANCE with the new law.

Okay so let me get this straight, a oligarch country that elected a suspected pedophile & known rapist over his Christian values, and an illegally nuclear genocidal apartheid nation that keeps electing war criminals to do war crimes, those are the good guys because they bombed a primary girls school

Kansas revoked trans people's drivers licenses literally overnight. Bathroom policing in multiple states. Women's rights curtailed. Making people's very existence political and/or sexual. Concentration camps in the US. ICE. The GOP makes a mockery of our nation's values. Fight back. #VOTE

The Kansas state legislature just stripped drivers licenses from an entire population of residents based on a single characteristic, putting lives and livelihoods at risk. This time it's trans people. If this is allowed to stand, next time it will be Black people or Democrats or women or... #Fight

This one hits hard.

I will never understand the position that a parent should have the unilateral right to condemn their child to torment or death by preventable illnesses, yet not have the right to authorize safe, science-backed, lifesaving care on the advice of a licensed provider. #PutScienceBackInHealthCare

No, go after them because they're bad for society, like arsenic in the water. A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Voter ID (as opposed to proof of residency, which we already have) gives the government a pretext to deny certain classes of people the ballot. Even if we make it free and "hassle-free" to get them. I want an Australian style mandatory voting law: Don't show up to vote, your taxes are $50 higher.

Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

Birth, marriage, adoption, DNA can tell you who you are related to. It can't say who your family is. Family are the people who love you, accept and support you, and call you on your BS when you need it. Family is a choice. Sometimes there's overlap with relatives. Sometimes not. That's on them.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders. Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

It was my birthday on February 10th and, according to tradition, I would be glad if you would repost my work!!

Good morning! This man is a fucking liar.

I actually don't think there's anything more beautiful than a group of dorks with varying flavors of neurodivergence pretending to be a group of equally varied little freaks who wander the countryside seeking adventure and justice for a few hours a week.

The thing about kids asking about gay people is that most kids, when left to their own devices, will be more confused by anyone making rules that only certain people can kiss or get married than they will be by random people of various genders kissing or getting married.

"I was told you're a monster," the hero said. "So they say," said the monster. "But you're beautiful!" "Thank you." "Have you always been a monster?" "Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden." "And became a monster?" "Got named a monster." "What did you do?" "I hit back."

You don't reform this. You disband it, then you put it on trial.

The world is insane and sometimes we all need some escapism. Check out "This Princess Kills Monsters" by @ryherman.bsky.social for an entertaining and inclusive story that takes the best parts of classic fairy tales and twists them into a clever and engaging critique of what we think we know. 💜

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have. My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence. Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college Detective Fiction Medieval European History Differential Equations Latin American Cultures Comparative Religions @sick1y.bsky.social I know the feeling

If you are shooting people for their rhetoric, the problem isn't the rhetoric.

Being mean or even disruptive is not grounds for summary execution; and if you can't wrap your head around that, you should not be allowed to use firearms.

“Parents should absolutely have the right to choose not to vaccinate” is not a pro-vaccine position. It’s the MAHA premise. It treats children as objects of parental choice rather than persons with independent claims to health.

There is no "immigration problem" There is no migrant problem There is no problem with illegals There is no border crisis Only a problem of the border and the machinery of death that upholds it.

Again, Grok (Heinlein would be furious) didn’t do this on its own. MEN DID IT.
